OMET Americas and Clemson’s Sonoco Institute have partnered over the years in many ways to provide advanced printing capabilities to Clemson students and the industry. OMET’s Varyflex 530 narrow web press provides an opportunity for students and partners to experience hands-on learning in the basics of press operation, color management, process control and more. The press is placed in the Institute’s Advanced Print Lab, which also houses ink and platemaking capabilities.

The Sonoco Institute is also one of OMET’s designated Future of Flexo schools, receiving additional support from OMET to ensure that students gain exposure to the modern technologies and skills employees are using in the flexographic field.
