WS Packaging Group Launches In-House UL Lab WS Packaging Group has reportedly opened the only U.S. converter-based UL-approved testing facility at its plant in Knoxville, Tennessee. Developed in close relationship with the Label and Packaging Ma- terials business unit of Avery Dennison Corporation, the new lab will reportedly simplify UL and cUL recognition for durable goods labeling. The new lab features materials and tools needed to conduct testing, equivalent to what is performed in UL’s own laboratories. Once testing is completed, WS Packaging will pro- vide UL with the data results for the materials. All submitted data will be reviewed and audited by UL before being issued the UL-recognized designation for the US or Canada. The Partner Program will return to PACK EXPO East 2017, February 27–March 1 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Partner Program pairs leading associations ded- icated to advancing this industry, with PACK EXPO East attendees and exhibitors, bringing additional re- sources, connections and expertise to the show. The organizations involved in the 2017 PACK EXPO East Partner Program include: • AIM • Contract Packaging Association (CPA) • Midwest Food Products Association (MWFPA) • OMAC (The Organization for Machine Automation and Control) AVT Signs Licensing Agreement With X-Rite AVT has signed a licensing agreement with color technology specialist X-Rite.
