Packaging Production Applications
Whatever type of packaging you produce, we have the printing, finishing, software and workflow expertise to produce it well.
Choose the kind of packaging work you handle below and jump straight to the digital print, cutting, converting and automation systems that best suit it.
Find your application
Packaging production is not one job. Corrugated boxes, folding cartons, retail displays and structural prototypes each demand different print speeds, board handling, finishing and workflow control. Choose yours to see what fits.
Corrugated PackagingDigital production for boxes, shipping cartons, e-commerce packaging and industrial corrugated work.
Folding Carton & Short RunsFlexible short-run carton production, versioning and custom packaging without long analogue setup.
Retail & POS DisplaysPrinted corrugated displays, shelf units, promotional structures and campaign graphics.
Prototypes & SamplesRapid structural samples, mock-ups, proofing and sales prototypes for faster development.Application
Corrugated Packaging
Corrugated packaging production is increasingly shaped by shorter runs, more SKUs and faster turnaround. Single-pass and multi-pass digital systems reduce setup while connected prepress and finishing help maintain control across changing board grades and job formats.

Application
Folding Carton & Short Runs
Short-run folding carton work benefits from digital production because it removes much of the setup associated with conventional printing and die-cutting. That makes versioned cartons, seasonal work, limited editions and rapid market testing easier to produce.
