Both packaging and commercial print have been undergoing major changes – shorter runs; smaller, more customized lots; faster time to market; ongoing cost pressure. These are just a few of the challenges that printers and packaging converters face in a highly competitive and dynamic marketplace. Manufacturers of conventional and digital presses have made great strides in improving the efficiency of the printing process. But for many organizations, finishing is still a bottleneck and a limitation to the creativity of designers.

In this session, you will hear from two industry thought leaders, Jay Mandarino, CEO of C.J. Graphics; and Ward McLaughlin, CEO of Boutwell Owens. Both have taken steps to remove the handcuffs for designers and add a digital “Last Mile” to their operations for cutting and creasing, adding value and opening significant new opportunities for them and their customers in both commercial print and folding carton.
