Inkjet Printing Technology in Flexible Package Printing Market

Abstract

Flexible packaging production is growing with advantage of less weight and waste of the packaging material compared to bottles and cans. High mix and low volume production is required because of recent change in life style and marketing. Although digitalization of flexible packaging industry is still in early days, some LIT printers have been introduced to the market. FUJIFILM has developed EUCON (Enhanced undercoating and nitrogen purging) technology to solve the problem of ink bleeding and print odor due to UV monomers and has achieved high printing speed 50 meter per minute with R2R single pass system. Technology development of flexible package printing is activated including water based inkjet.
