Where Materials and Minds Meet

Printco Industries' Account Executive Matt Burie predicts flexible packaging will continue to lead the in-line pack simply due to the volume involved, but notes new products have also touched off a surge of in-line activity in both business forms and tissue/towels.

As far as package printing is concerned, coating and laminating activity continues to be strong both on and off the press line. Deamer expects shorter and shorter run lengths, and their requisite changes in web widths and adhesives, to continue to render roll-to-roll, off-line equipment an attractive option.
