Shorter+Faster

However, folding carton converters' responses about the rate of change in run length are not clear the way they are for labels. While label converters say short runs are growing and long runs are declining, folding carton converters attribute about the same growth rate to runs fewer than 1,000 sheets (3 percent) as they do to runs of 20,000 or more sheets. For digital press vendors and owners though, the response to this question should still be encouraging, because folding carton converters say that short runs are becoming more common, and short runs are what current color digital presses do best.
