In an industry that continues to be impacted by the rise of digital technologies, flexography is proof that conventional printing is far from being replaced.

Packaging and sustainability go hand-in-hand, and package printers play an essential role in helping brands, retailers, and consumers achieve their sustainability goals.

Package printers are embracing the latest finishing solutions that complement the efficiency of digital packaging printing. In many cases, these finishing solutions are based on digital technologies themselves.

In any business, lags in production can be lurking where you least expect them. Investing in the right tools and company culture can help find those inefficiencies and eliminate them once and for all.

Last year was unlike anything the packaging industry has endured in the past. But with 2020 behind us, what are the lingering trends of an unprecedented year?

Producers of packaging and labels were better prepared than many to confront the rigors of doing business in the middle of a pandemic. Tested as never before, they did what it took to meet an extraordinary surge in demand from their customers.

The buying habits of label and packaging customers are changing, and new technologies exist to support them. Through digital storefronts, buyers can access the short-run, quick turnaround production services they’re increasingly shopping for.

The benefits of process control can be wide reaching, improving efficiency for converters, and delivering quality results to brand owners. But implementing these practices requires a focused strategy.

As brand owners seek to provide increased protection for their products, packaging security plays an important role in ensuring integrity throughout the value chain.

Consumers place a great deal of trust in brands to provide safe food products, and it’s up to converters and brand owners to develop packaging that ensures food safety.
