Why is digital print for packaging a hot topic?

According to new research by Pira International, the digital printing for packaging market will show compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% to 2014. Pira says digital printing significantly reduces the need for prepress and make-ready, greatly reducing costs, and that there is a strong desire among brand owners and retailers for customisation and shorter, more targeted press runs. The market is set to be worth $6,752 million by 2014.

Over the past seven years there have been more than 1,200 narrow-web digital, print-on-demand, color presses installed worldwide for the production of self-adhesive labels alone, as well as many now being used regularly for high quality printing or decoration of folding cartons, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging, tube laminates, pot lids, pails and buckets.

More than 250 new installations are being made each year in light of the impact and capability of the latest generations of digital presses introduced since 2003. This is expected to rise to over 400 a year by 2015, with perhaps as many as 15 to 20 per cent of these being used for package printing or pack decoration applications.

What seems certain is that digital, print-on-demand, label and package printing is meeting current cost cutting and lean manufacturing initiatives as well as creating opportunities for multi-language versions, increasing customization and targeted marketing, such as packaging for retail chains or for seasonal products. Having the capability to offer mass customized packaging, with text and images, gives brand managers a powerful tool for attracting new customers.

Who will be there?

  • Brand Owners: brand manager, packaging designers, packaging engineers, marketing managers, product managers
  • Printing equipment suppliers
  • Printing technologies developers
  • Packaging Designers (from design firms)

What are the benefits of digital printing for packaging?

  • Provides ways to add value and differentiate the brands
  • Enables brands to be quickly and easily refreshed and labels and packaging adapted quickly for seasonal promotions, special events or even different language versions
  • Using digital printing enables carton producers to better manage their brand customers − improving sell-through with targeted design, while lowering capital expenditure, time to market and obsolescence
  • Brand owners using digital printing for their packaging work gain the ability to affordably launch new products and improve visibility on the shelves
  • Digital press technology allows endless print possibilities that are simply not financially practical with litho or flexo
  • The speed of digital press technology means that 'sell it first then make and pack it' is fast becoming a new philosophy considered by brand owners and retail groups
  • Other advantages of digital package printing include lower set-up costs than those for flexo/offset and gravure, and a reduction in capital equipment cost
