Packaging Printing
The market segment packaging printing deals with printing of different packaging materials using e.g. plate setters and packaging printer to design finish but also to protect the packaging material.
Typical products
- Mock-up production, prototyping
- Proofs of packaging
- Labels
- Packaging printing in small runs, partly with special colors (varnish, white, metallic)
Customers in packaging printing area also make high demands on print quality, and expect a consistent color as well as impressive results. A particular challenge is the frequent use of special, effect and spot colors (varnish, white, and metallic). Further challenges are short product life cycles, continuously new materials, time and cost pressure as well as a high degree of individualization of packaging materials and forms, requiring digital printing workflows that are tailored exactly to the specific requirements.
