Join Mary Schilling, Ralf Schlözer, and Elizabeth Gooding live on Tuesday, March 12 at 1 pm ET 

The packaging market is growing and changing rapidly. Demands for greater sustainability, changes in customer buying habits, and region-specific regulatory requirements are all driving down individual batch sizes. While lithography and flexography continue to be the dominant printing processes for rigid and flexible packaging, inkjet printing is increasingly making inroads thanks to the ability to version, personalize, and deliver just-in-time orders.

Inkjet package printing technology is also becoming more interesting and accessible to a wider range of companies, from commercial printing firms adding entry-level package printing to their range of offers to large brands integrating packaging production into the product manufacturing process. Companies no longer need high volumes to get in the game, but packaging converters can find increasingly productive presses that raise the bar on quality and compatibility. What are the trends and innovations driving the market in 2024? Register to find out.

“Innovations in Inkjet for Packaging” will focus on key drivers of inkjet adoption and highlight that latest inkjet product launches serving the folding carton, corrugated, direct-to-container, and flexible packaging markets. Attendees will learn about:

• Key areas of market growth for inkjet technology and capabilities needed to serve the market.
• Considerations for different vertical markets such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care.
• New press launches and where they fit in the current market.

This webinar will be useful to anyone investing in or developing production inkjet technology to deliver product packaging and with an interest in learning about inkjet component innovations that are likely to shape the market tomorrow.

Our expert panelists include Mary Schilling of Schilling Inkjet Consulting, Ralf Schlözer of digitalprintexpert.de, and Elizabeth Gooding of Inkjet Insight on Tuesday, March 12 at 1 pm ET for a deep dive into the inkjet technology driving growth and flexibility in the packaging market.
