Business Management - Industry Trends

The fifth-annual Digital Packaging Summit — the largest ever edition of the event — addressed all four major segments of the packaging industry and how package printers from across the board can benefit from all that digital printing and converting technology have to offer.

For package printers, providing value for brands that goes beyond traditional packaging manufacturing processes is quickly becoming an expectation.

At the Digital Packaging Summit, attendees learned how digital print can be a source of success for small brand owners in a variety of market segments. Lisa Sohanpal of Nom Noms World Food shared her perspectives on the power of packaging, and Ron Sasine, a retail packaging consultant, provided insight from his extensive experience in brand packaging.

The playing field among digital print technologies may have leveled, but that doesn't mean misunderstandings don't still exist. A session on their advantages and trade-offs brought clarity to conferees at the Digital Packaging Summit.
