What Eagle Flexible Packaging does

Eagle Flexible Packaging is a privately held US manufacturer of custom flexible packaging, founded in 1994 by Frank Vacca and headquartered in Batavia, Illinois. The company produces preformed pouches and rollstock film for consumer packaged goods brands and medical/healthcare companies, with operations across a headquarters facility in Batavia and a North Campus manufacturing site in Waupun, Wisconsin. Leadership includes CEO Ed Walenga (since 2009) and COO Scott Deringer (since 2013), with Vacca continuing as owner and founder.

The production platform is built on flexographic printing technology, anchored by a SOMA Optima2 Wide Web Flexographic Printing Press acquired in June 2024 that supports up to 10 colors, 175 LPI resolution, and 1,600 ft/min throughput. Manufacturing capabilities are vertically integrated in-house, including CNC and manual machining, a dedicated graphics and pre-press center with Stork and Esko laser engraving systems, multi-substrate lamination (PE, PP, PET, Nylon, foil, paper, Tyvek), and pouch converting. The company holds SQF Level 3 certification (100/100 score in December 2021), FDA food-contact compliance, ISO 13485-compatible medical packaging standards, and a sustainability portfolio covering ASTM D6400/EN 13432 compostable, How2Recycle-compatible recyclable, PCR-content, and downgauged structures.

Eagle operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market model with dedicated project managers serving CPG, pet food, nutritional supplement, cosmetics, industrial, and medical/healthcare clients. Revenue is generated through custom quote-based manufacturing contracts on multi-year cadences, with pricing determined by material type, print complexity, customization features, and volume. Distribution is direct and domestic (USA only), with no intermediary channel. Trade show presence at PACK EXPO, Natural Products Expo West, Sweets & Snacks Expo, and SuperZoo is the primary customer acquisition channel, supplemented by content marketing through the company's knowledge center. The company is currently in an active capacity expansion cycle, with a new 52,000-square-foot Waupun facility announced in January 2025 and a Batavia facility upgrade planned for 2026.
