Digital Printing Opportunities in the Packaging Segment
Sharon Eucce, sales and marketing for Utah Paper Box (UPB), a producer of litholam and folding cartons, says that UPB looked into digital at drupa 2012 with the idea that it would be useful for customer presentations and short-run and regional jobs. But according to Eucce, UPB didn't find anything that fits its needs: offset quality using the same stock and the same suppliers as for offset papers.
