Digital Printing Opportunities in the Packaging Segment
Peter Chalmers, product manager, Primera Technology, Inc., advises that "there are a number of applications for inkjet labels, including regional markets and seasonal products. A lot of small companies are participating—a restaurant selling its hot sauce, organics, etc." He adds that these applications are driven by short run, print-on-demand, and less waste rather than variable data.
