Market Study for Digitally Printed Packaging and Labels

With regard to the global market for digital printed packaging and labels by sector, Pira International expects digital usage in flexibles to grow by four to five times during the 2009 to 2014 period, driven by the brand owners’ search for innovation and the converters’ desire for faster press speeds. Some of the growth may however come at the expense of folding cartons, whose growth has slowed over the past few years, with brand owners switching to purely flexible packaging options in some cases.
