"Adjacent" applications

ILS not only prints labels, but packaging also, and this newer business all takes place in the ILS digital room. What's the status of the two applications that are often call "adjacent" for label converters—folding cartons and flexible packaging? "Both these applications are profitable for us now, and not just for prototypes," Dollries said. "There's opportunity in each, but of the two, flexible packaging has been the source of more business. We have multiple jobs per week in that category, and the potential is quite large."
