Digital Corrugated Future • Single Pass, high output inkjet now available –high graphics affordable • Providing opportunity to take digital to higher volume orders • Added Value for the complete supply chain Digital Box Plant Output Single Pass Inkjet Flexographic Multi-pass Inkjet Units Transit Products 1, 2, 3 Color Products High Graphics - Variable Products Margin
WHY THE GROWTH IN DIGITAL? • • Market drivers – Cost, Time, Variability Using Digital along side Flexo to benefit both Interest in Digital Packaging ideas is growing Custom made integrations
Digital Decision Making Step One Step Two Step Three • Your Markets • Your People & Systems • The Printer
Your Markets • Initial Offering • Where are the current opportunities? • Differentiate or Not • Same Box/New Value or New Box/New Business • Commercials • Consultant to the Box User - What is your increased service worth? • Higher Margin • ROI? Now or Later • Manufacturing Process • What is required – Press, Systems, Knowledge, Device, Logistics? • Where is this knowledge in your organization?
Your People and Systems Success in Digital Corrugated starts with People & Systems - not only the machine • Your Facility • The Existing Manufacturing Capabilities • The People & Press Environment (Color Management, Workflow etc) • The Leadership / Decision Maker • Your Markets • Opportunities – Existing or New (Litho. Lam, Folding Carton, etc. ) • Vision for the technology • Print Overview • What does the ability to “print on demand”, “reduce leadtime”, “reduce inventory” allow you? More Orders, Higher Margin • Using print for more than merely identification or branding – the arrival of Advertised Packaging. Stand out from Competitors
The Machine - Who is in the Mix Aqueous SUN Automation HP Wonder. Jet Xante UV/Hybrid EFI Durst Barberan Multi-Pass – EFI, Fuji, HP, Durst, others
Digital Print on Corrugated • Opportunity to receive value or reduce costs via direct artwork management • New value added opportunity through print for increased margin Total Cost Analog vs. Digital Order Size
