2022 is in the early stages of a decade dominated by the digital world. Digital printing utilizes computer generation as the principal mechanism behind designing physical product packaging and creating the images or graphics governing their appearance. It’s fair to say digital printing influences every part of today’s packaging and shows no signs of stopping.
Digital printing allows packagers far more latitude in personalization and customizing options than mechanical processes like typesetting did. Most packaging companies switched from analog to digital within the past decade. However, it takes time to retool a factory completely.
In 2022, there are only a handful of companies not getting on the digital train and making that progressive investment.
The packaging industry reached a tipping point in this decade. The use of digital presses grew, while conventional presses declined.
In 2018, narrow-web digital presses exceeded the standard flexo presses for the first time. This digital printing technology allows all colors to be printed in a single pass, which has fostered a trend of “printing on-demand” in the industry. Studies say this demand will only grow.
