Driving Packaging Forward
Fortis Solutions Group prides itself on being an innovative and forward-thinking partner in the packaging industry.
We continuously invest in new technologies, materials, and ideas to give our customers an edge. Our culture of innovation means we don’t just react to trends – we help set them. Here’s how Fortis stays on the cutting edge to benefit your brand:
State-of-the-art Printing & Converting
We utilize the latest printing presses (digital, flexographic, and offset) and finishing equipment to achieve superior results. This allows us to offer features like variable data printing (for personalized or serialized labels), ultra-high resolution graphics, and special effects (metallic foils, tactile varnishes) that make your packaging pop. Our color management expertise ensures consistent, vibrant color across runs and across our multiple facilities. You can count on impeccable quality and visual impact, supported by technology that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in print.
Custom R&D and Problem Solving
Have a packaging challenge that doesn’t have an off-the-shelf solution? Our innovation team thrives on developing custom solutions based on your needs. We love to collaborate with packaging engineers and product designers on new constructions – whether it’s a unique pouch structure for a novel product or a label that can withstand extreme conditions. Fortis has experts in materials science and engineering who will experiment with new substrates, adhesives, and coatings to find the perfect fit. For example, we’ve helped clients capitalize on market changes by pioneering new packaging formats (like hybrid label-carton combos, unique reclosure features, etc.). If you can imagine it, our team will work to make it a reality, ensuring you’re first-to-market with innovative packaging.
Smart & Connected Packaging
We keep an eye on emerging technologies such as NFC tags, QR codes, and augmented reality on packaging. If you’re looking to engage consumers in new ways, we can integrate these “smart packaging” elements into your labels or cartons, turning your packaging into an interactive experience. Whether it’s enabling traceability (serializing products for supply chain tracking) or enhancing marketing campaigns (linking to digital content via a QR code), Fortis will ensure the technical implementation is seamless and effective.
Continuous Improvement Mindset
Innovation at Fortis isn’t limited to products – it’s in our processes too. We continually refine our workflows to shorten lead times and increase reliability (supporting that unmatched speed-to-market we promise). Through automation, lean manufacturing practices, and a passionate team, we achieve industry-leading response times and flexibility. This means when you have a last-minute design change or need a rush order for a promotional launch, we have the agility to accommodate it without compromising quality. We’re always looking ahead to what the next packaging trend or technology will be – so we can bring it to our customers first and keep you ahead of the curve.
