With plenty of demand and opportunity to grow, packaging is an enticing market for commercial printers. But package printers have good reason to feel confident in an increasingly competitive field.

One of the most important tasks a brand has is to maintain a positive perception among consumers. Package printers and converters can play an important role by providing the right packaging embellishments.

Packaging markets are changing and offset lithography is changing in step with them. Thanks to a steady progression of R&D-driven advancements, the process is as versatile as ever and playing an important role in label and packaging applications.

All American Label recently installed a combination offset and flexo press, the Nilpeter MO-4. Self-described as a one-stop-shop for customers, CEO Brad C. Brown says the MO-4 is ideal for the flexibility his company needs.

For converters who have a wide range of jobs, hybrid printing technology may be the best solution to meet demands efficiently.

If you’re using late-model flexo or offset equipment to produce packaging and labels, give yourself some extra points for being cutting-edge. Thanks to automation and other technical advances, the conventional processes have never looked or performed better.

As consumers and brands continue to prioritize sustainability in packaging, it’s important for printers and converters to understand their essential role in the environmental equation.
