Archipelago Technology’s Powerdrop™ offers precise, pinhole-free coatings to replace plastic primary packaging.

    In this talk, Greg will highlight the potential of Archipelago’s end to end Powerdrop™ coating process to help brands meet industry demands for durability, compliance, and recyclability – all while keeping production efficient and cost effective.
