Green Bay, Wisconsin based BW Converting invites converters to its state-of-the-art Packaging Innovation Center for practical training, hands-on learning and real-world technology demonstrations. Purpose-built for operator development and customer collaboration, the center offers a fully equipped pressroom environment featuring live equipment, experienced instruction and guided production demos — all designed to help printers build confidence, troubleshoot effectively and strengthen pressroom performance.
Equipped for platemaking, plate mounting, flexo and digital printing, and bag converting, the center also features a newly installed PCMC Meridian Elite+ laser anilox cleaner. This system cleans four 52-inch rolls simultaneously, without water, chemicals or compressed air, highlighting BW Converting’s focus on sustainability, operator safety and reduced downtime.
The center regularly hosts three-day seminars led by Fox Valley Flexo Services, with instruction from two former educators at Fox Valley Technical College. With decades of practical experience, they tailor every class to the needs and experience levels of each training group.
Training topics include press setup and operation, printing plates, mounting tapes, doctor blades, process color, ink management, corona treatment and more. Participants engage directly in live production demonstrations and guided press operation to reinforce technical concepts with real-world application.
“The Packaging Innovation Center allows us to demonstrate real-world solutions in a setting that encourages learning, experimentation and connection,” said Rodney Pennings, Director of Sales, Print, BW Converting. “Whether you’re a technician refining your skills or a converter evaluating new technologies, this is a place built to support your goals.”
Training at the center is open to those who wish to know more about the flexographic printing process. It is ideal for press operators, pre-production, press assistants, customer service reps and maintenance personnel.
A full schedule of 2026 sessions will be released soon. To learn more, visit www.bwconverting.com.
