Great piece Dave.
I think there will be significant challenges in getting the technology to market in flexibles, but the prize here is absolutely enormous for the successful vendors. Brands, retailers and converters have great opportunities for innovation and supply chain improvement here, the engineering of the products is making them win share against rigids, new print and less time to market for the printing will be another major strong point for the sector.
