Packaging converting in transition: digitalisation and efficiency 🚀 Until now, the focus in packaging converting has often been on printing. While printing technologies have evolved, the actual manufacturing process has lagged behind. #drupa2024 showed: This is changing! Intelligent finishing and the i4.0 ideology are revolutionising the industry. Physical and virtual XML feeds and barcode-driven workflows increase efficiency and variability. An intelligent PLC-based makeready system simplifies the set-up process. Automated settings and integration of data from previous processes reduce changeover times and maximise productivity. With these innovations on show at #drupa2024, packaging manufacturers can meet increasing demands and future-proof their processes. #drupa2024 #packaging #digitaltransformation #smartfactory #industry40 #innovation

As the leading trade fair for print technologies, drupa is the hotspot for the global printing community, both on-site at Messe Düsseldorf's fairgrounds and online with the drupa blog, the drupa Facebook page, the drupa Twitter account and the drupa LinkedIn group. Now this mix is being rounded off by a dedicated drupa page on LinkedIn. This page is the perfect place to get information from the printing industry, while the drupa LinkedIn group will of course continue to be an active platform to get in touch with other experts worldwide. But to stay up to date, to get market insights and all relevant information from the printing industry first-hand, it is not only worth keeping an eye on the various articles and posts, but also to follow the latest news through the hashtag #drupa and #drupa2024 until drupa opens its doors again. Under the motto "create the future", drupa will bring together manufacturers, key stakeholders, decision-makers and interested buyers in Düsseldorf from May 28 to June 7, 2024 again – while of course taking the necessary measures to ensure that only good ideas circulate at drupa. For this reason, a comprehensive hygiene concept has been developed that enables the best possible but above all safe customer experience and performance under the existing circumstances.

Making the case for digital packaging printing for big brands Digital packaging printing offers brands a whole new world of creative opportunities to differentiate their brand and offer their customers new variations of their favourite product. Yet most major brands are hesitant. Not necessarily because of a lack of technology. Smaller brands, and even large brands with niche products, have all had great success with digitally printed packaging. Large companies simply have to get more stakeholders on the same page than smaller ones. So it is not enough to simply convince the brand manager. Printers need to have the right arguments for each of these stakeholders. None of them wants to be an obstacle, but all want to move the brand forward - as long as their concerns and responsibilities are properly addressed. #DigitalPackaging #PrintingInnovation #BrandDifferentiation #CreativePackaging #StakeholderEngagement

Direct-to-Shape vs. Labels: no winner yet At #drupa2024, the printing industry showcased the versatility of modern printing, demonstrating new technologies and processes not only for printing on flat surfaces, but also for printing Direct-to-Shape (DTS) - or as it is also known, Direct-to-Object, Dimensional or 4D printing. This enables designs that could not be achieved with traditional labels. While traditional labels are well established and still have the edge in many applications, the technology for printing on objects has come a long way and offers some significant advantages. Take a look. #drupa2024 #PrintingInnovation #DirectToShape #PrintTechnology #PackaginInnovation
