What exactly is industrial digital printing for packaging?
Digital printing technology is fundamental in sectors where packaging plays a key role in product distribution.
Thanks to its versatility, this technology - which also allows for highly customised small-scale batches - provides manufacturers with an effective tool that boosts the impact of packaged products by using graphic design and promotional or marketing content.
Furthermore, in the era of mass customisation, the ability to strengthen the image of a customised product by using ad hoc packaging, especially at low cost, increases the effectiveness of the strategy itself.
With industrial digital printing, creativity becomes a powerful ‘weapon’ that can be deployed without compromising cost or productivity.
Why include an industrial digital printer on a cardboard packaging production line?
The inclusion of a digital industrial printer on the line is an option that can be applied independently of the upstream or downstream equipment, allowing for an effective, economic response to current trends.
While offset and flexo equipment requires significant initial investments, justifiable only for long print runs and high volumes, digital printing:
- can handle variable content/data and shorten time to market;
- requires only a few simple steps between print file and printed product;
- requires no investment in additional equipment;
- does not have long set-up times or high costs;
- enhances customisation, boosts production flexibility and lowers costs significantly.
