Press by Press, Flexo Demands More – Ship & Shore Environmental is Poised to Answer
- Published: April 30, 2025
Flexographic printers are expanding at a rapid pace, driven by rising demand for packaging, labeling, and consumer goods. New presses are hitting production floors across the country — and with them, a surge in volatile organic compound (VOC) output that most existing emissions systems weren’t built to handle.
As a result, Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc. (S&SE) — the industry’s go-to provider for custom-engineered air pollution control — is seeing a significant spike in urgent project demand. Whether it’s designing full capture systems, adding new Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs), or installing new RTOs into existing infrastructure, printers are turning to S&SE to handle it all.
“Some customers are ahead of the curve, some are reacting in real time, and some are behind — but they all call us,” said Anoosheh Oskouian, CEO of S&SE and board member of the AQMD’s BACT (Best Available Control Technology) Committee. “Because they know emissions control isn’t going anywhere, and getting it wrong is not an option.”
The global flexographic printing market is projected to hit $181.1 billion by the end of 2025, growing at 1.6% annually. With that growth comes higher VOC loads, more stringent regulatory oversight, and greater operational complexity. Many facilities are adding presses without revisiting their emissions strategies, leading to non-compliance risks, system strain, or inefficiencies.
S&SE is being called in at every stage — to design around a new press, retrofit an older system, or bring outdated infrastructure up to code. In every case, the expertise, the fabrication, and the integration comes from under one roof: Ship & Shore Environmental. “Just like our company tagline says – ‘Concept to Compliance to Complete’ – we are the only provider of air pollution control systems that manages the entire process from start to finish."
“There’s a reason we’re busier than ever,” Oskouian added. “Because we don’t just sell systems — we solve the complex, site-specific problems that nobody else can.”
As the industry grows, emissions control must scale with it. The leaders aren’t the ones who wait — they’re the ones who partner with S&SE to stay ahead.
