Digital printing can offer significant advantages to flexible packaging end users. These advantages result from dynamic marketplace changes in systems of mer-chandising, logistics, and manufacturing. Consumer goods companies in all markets are recognizing and re-sponding to these changing expectations. A flexible packaging converter looks at the benefits of digital printing in the context of this new end user value sys-tem. He predicts an application for digital printing in combination with existing printing processes and new distribution systems that will allow real time custom-ization of mass produced preprinted packaging.
