Automated management of multilingual graphics on packaging to reduce
costs
and optimise « Time to Market »
Jan
De Roeck,
Marketing Director Packaging Software, Esko-Graphics, Belgium
Packaging
suppliers to the FMCG industry, more specifically food packaging
converters, have to meet increasingly more stringent demands of
the customer, the Brand Owner and the legislator. In the Western
European countries and in the US/Canada, these converters operate
in a so-called “buyers market” in which the packaging
buyer defines the rules of the game: price, quality and deadline.
In such a business climate, it is a daily challenge for the printer/converter
to keep operational profit at an acceptable level. Success may
well be in reach if the production workflow meets a number of
essential requirements. A state of the art packaging workflow
is entirely based on industry-accepted file format standards to
guarantee reliable data exchange between all partners in the supply
chain, all the way from idea over design and production to the
finished product on the shop shelves. Efficient communication
with a standard file format like Adobe PDF can cut days out of
the time-to-market for a Brand Owner.
Secondly, standardization and automation of the production processes
not only optimizes resource usage, but more important, dramatically
reduces the risk for human errors throughout the workflow. Imagine
the cost of an erroneous barcode on a juice label in the shop.
In this presentation, Esko-Graphics explains and shows how Scope,
its pre-production workflow, saveguards operational profits of
the food packaging converter through a high level of workflow
automation. An exciting demonstration of database driven production
of line-extensions concludes the intervention.

FastJet™ - High Speed
Digital Printing for Corrugated Packaging
Stefan
Slembrouck, Director Digital
Packaging Solutions, Sun Chemical
•
FastJet™ is a digital printing machine jointly developed
by Incadigital and Sun Chemical with a first prototype installed
in September 2005
•
FastJet™ works with single pass technology capable to print
corrugated board at full colour with an output of over 4000m²
per hour making it the first digital printer for packaging at
industrial speed
•
The cost break-even with conventional print processes is higher
than 3000m² for highly volatile designs
• Speed,
flexibility and cost of FastJet™ will be the basis for new
ways in production processes, call-off procedures, test-marketing
and packaging as an active promoter of products
The presentation will go into details of the FastJet™ technology
with experiences from the first industrial prototype, the possibilities
to develop new supply chain mechanisms between packaging buyers
and producers and the economical aspects of FastJet printing.
