Michael Mr. Fairley believes that label processors still have time to rely on their understanding and professional skills in digital printing, looking for new business opportunities in the production of flexible packaging and folding cartons.
At the 2019 Asia International Label Printing Exhibition (Labelexpo Asia 2019) held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from December 3 to 6 this year, about 30 digital printing equipment-related manufacturers participated, including: u.S. Amica (Amica), Domino, Dilli, Haotian, Konica Minolta, Runtianzhi, Yunbo (Shanghai) Internet of Things Technology, Changzhou Temine, Hefei Runjie, Nebula Computer (GCC), Hanhua Industry, Saikang, Zhuo Jue, Dragan and Ningbo Worry, etc. Among these exhibitors, the use of inkjet technology accounts for the vast majority, thanks to the rapid development of nozzle technology, the improvement of printing materials and ink formulations, and the unprecedented progress made by color inkjet printers in terms of performance and market applications.
Digital printing has been developing in the label industry for more than 20 years. The first to enter this field was toner technology, followed by inkjet technology, and now Landa's nano digital printing technology. This is a 20-year period of rapid development. So far, about 4500 digital printers have been installed in the global label industry, of which HP Indigo and Saikang's toner printers account for more than 2/3 of the total installed capacity.
Globally, the growth of the digital inkjet printing market is led by Domino, Everest, Aisheng and others, and many smaller suppliers. Almost all digital equipment manufacturers participated in the Labelexpo Global Series exhibitions in Belgium, Chicago, Shanghai, Navi Mumbai and Thailand.
The latest data show that by the end of 2020, the annual output value of digital label products processed by all installed digital printing equipment in the world will be close to 9 billion US dollars. It's a huge market and it's growing.
the reason for the rapid growth of digital printing technology in the label field is obvious: labels serve a consumer goods market, of which is. This market has an increasing demand for short orders, flexibility, shorter lead times, more version changes, personalized and variable data, and most labels can easily adapt to the width of narrow web presses.
Future Challenges
Although the flexible packaging and carton industry has also begun to pay attention to and invest in digital printing, the overall label market has lagged far behind in the past two 3, in particular, the knowledge of digital printing mastered by processors, the understanding and use of digital printing is not as good as that of label processors. In particular, most packaging processors are relatively lack of digital pre-press and post-press experience.
When consumer goods are marketed, the flexible packaging and carton industries may also encounter short-order and multi-version printing requirements, but the need to print the carton or image is often too large, not suitable for narrow web printing. Therefore, if you want to meet the needs of most packaging and printing, you must have a wider printing machine, and the requirements for post-processing in these areas are also very different from those in the label field.
In order to meet the demand of the new generation of wider flexible packaging printing, as well as the pursuit of flexibility and performance for B1 and B2 single-sheet carton printing in the market in order to tap more business opportunities, since 2014, some wide-format digital printing equipment for packaging printing has been on the market one after another. At present, the number of wide-format digital printing machines installed is increasing year by year, both toner and inkjet technology, as well as the 1 generation of mixed packaging printing machines.
HP Indigo launches 1 flexible toner packaging presses for Uteco/Kodak.
the digital packaging printing machine has a wider width and larger volume, and the investment cost may be three times that of the narrow rotary label printing machine, and the purchaser may also need to reconfigure and upgrade the prepress system. But there is no doubt that digital packaging presses will have greater printing capacity and throughput. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the total value of products produced by digital packaging printers will account for 20% of the total value of digital label and packaging printing; by 2020, the total value of global digital label and packaging printing products will increase to $10 billion.
some digital label processors are already using medium-width printing machines to produce smaller products such as packaging bags, small bags and lids. If label processors can apply the digital printing experience and market awareness accumulated in the label field to the packaging field, the future development potential and market opportunities will be huge. In a few years, the original enterprises in the field of packaging and printing will catch up and make great strides in professional skills and knowledge. At that time, the opportunities for label processors will be smaller.
