VPS invested in high speed machinery and diversified into new packaging formats including stand up pouches and multi-layer bags.

They would later expand into graphic design, 3D rendering, and more in its 25,000 square foot facility. VPS built a brand new 65,000 square foot facility in Green Bay to accommodate rapid growth and additional machines. They would eventually add on to the building three more times and grow its footprint to 185,000 square feet with over 40 production lines. Phoenix Converting was founded in Itasca, IL with medical packaging being a key end market. It grew into a second facility in 2010 to add slitting and laminating capabilities with a total of 110,000 square feet of manufacturing and converting space. Specialty Packaging Technologies was born in Elgin, IL as an extension of Precision Color Graphics to provide pouching as part of their flexible packaging supply chain services.
