interpack 2011: Heidelberg Adds Inkjet Printing Solutions
Versatile solutions for packaging production
According to independent market surveys, the sales volume of digitally printed folding carton boxes, foils, and labels amounted to EUR 2.5 billion in 2009. This figure is expected to increase with annual growth rates of around 17 percent until 2015. “UV inkjet printing is rapidly gaining importance thanks to its versatility in the choice of substrates and the fact that it can be directly integrated into packaging production lines,” said Stephan Plenz, member of the Heidelberg Management Board, responsible for Equipment. “Together with our recently established partnership with Ricoh, the Linoprint portfolio represents a second stronghold in our range of digital printing solutions. Linoprint gives our customers the flexibility they need to cost-effectively manufacture high-quality small and variable lot sizes in the packaging production.”
