Benefits of Digital Printing for Packaging and Displays

Digital print for packaging and displays has many benefits and is ideal for customers who are looking for alternatives to traditional offset printing which is a plate or tooling driven process. It offers a way to professionally brand protective packaging and in-store signage and displays with custom print without the need for large production runs. Digital printed packaging, labels, and displays is a fast-growing market – and for good reason – it offers many benefits to the customer including:
•Cost Effective: Digital print requires no die-cut tooling or print plates which can be an unexpected upfront expense for the customer or out of range cost for smaller businesses.
•Small Production Runs: Digital print allows for production of small volume jobs and print runs.
•Universal Application: Digital print has a universal application and prints on any substrate including metal, plastic, wood and corrugated paper.
•High Print Quality: A 4 color + white process with spot varnish capabilities allows for creative, unique displays and packaging. In addition, multiple passes allows for better saturation and higher print quality depending on application needed.
•Easy Edits: A digital platform allows customers to change copy on a per item basis. For example, in store displays and end caps can be modified on a per store or pricing offer basis.
•Fast Turnaround: Digital print is typically 10-14 days faster than a traditional process thanks to enhanced output speed and productivity, as well as shortened setup times

Yet when we consider that 135 million people face acute food shortages, it is clear that food waste is an issue we can no longer afford to ignore.(1) Food waste campaigner Tristram Stuart has said, “Cutting food waste is a delicious way of saving money, helping to feed the world and protect the planet.” He’s right, confronting food waste is critical to the health of people, the planet and business. It’s staggering that two billion people could be fed with the 1.3 billion tonnes of food that is lost or wasted every year – the combined population of Europe and Africa.(2) In places like Europe almost half lost is at the consumer end of the supply chain, while in developing countries a significant proportion of post-harvest food is wasted. Regardless of location, these high losses are mainly due to lack of proper storage, improper handling and inadequate packaging.(3) click read more below for the rest of the article

The survey revealed perceptions of cleanliness alongside evolving hygiene habits, expectations, and standards, such as: *76% of people have had poor experiences with hand hygiene in public washrooms since the start of the pandemic. *Almost half (46%) of respondents wash their hands more frequently than before the pandemic because they pay more attention to hygiene overall. *42% have experienced empty or improperly functioning paper towel dispensers, leading to frequent complaints.
