It’s a whole different packaging market

Complex shopping environments, savvy consumers, and lightning-fast product introductions are driving brand owners and retailers to transform their packaging into a supercharged, silent sales force.

Packaging has long been considered a vital element in the marketing mix, right behind product, price, place and promotion. As marketers increasingly grasped the power of packaging to support their campaigns, packaging’s role evolved from the passive to the active. No longer merely a holder of product, packaging today is also a communicator.

Targeted messaging is keyPackaging is a natural vehicle for delivering messages to consumers right when they are making point-of-purchase decisions. But grabbing attention and driving a purchase are two different things. Stand-out design can trigger the first; meaningful messaging is crucial to the second.

For this reason, targeted messaging on product packaging is critical to effective product marketing. And, its importance is amplified by increasing granularity in product marketing. Inventory efficiency initiatives, multiple product variants, test marketing, limited availability, localized products, micro-segmentation and fast-changing campaigns are now common strategies – and product packaging needs to support them all.

Analog alone is no longer enoughIn this environment, short-runs are a critical and fast-growing packaging need. Traditional printing processes for packaging can no longer keep pace with an ever-more turbulent market – so corrugated converters are in the eye of the storm. Operations and business models that were built on high-volume production with long lead times must be adapted to today’s and tomorrow’s much faster and more nimble pace of business.

As brands continue to pursue more agile business strategies, they will increasingly demand that their corrugated converters accommodate their demands for shorter runs, faster turnaround, more design options and higher printed quality. At the same time, brands will also increasingly look to their packaging providers to help reduce substrate volume and waste to address cost and environmental concerns.

Brand owners and retailers today expect much more from packaging than ever before – and it is up to converters to deliver it.

Brand owners and retailers need agile packaging solutions that support targeted messaging. What’s your delivery strategy?

Market overview

Go digital to gain an operational and competitive advantageThe corrugated packaging market is ready for digital transformation. As demand for more impactful and cost-effective packaging grows and run-lengths and turnaround times shrink, it’s time to look beyond traditional production methods. When you look at digital, you’ll see just how well it fits the new market realities.

Other packaging industries – labels and flexible packaging – have benefitted from digital print for more than two decades. Now the spotlight is shifting to corrugated packaging. There is already a wide range of digital printing solutions available for diverse corrugated packaging applications, from basic corrugated to high-quality packages and merchandise displays that have been traditionally printed on flexo and litho-lam presses. These digital solutions open a wealth of opportunities for corrugated converters.

Cost-effective short-runsBecause a large portion of the cost of offset and flexo printing is loaded at the front-end of the process, the total per-unit cost can be a deal-breaker for short runs. With digital printing those upfront costs disappear, giving you the flexibility to meet the increasing demand for cost-effective short runs.

Short-runs are ideal for test marketing. You can support your customers’ marketing strategy development by offering ultra-short runs of packaging and retail displays, enabling your customers to test how different products, offers and campaigns perform in live retail environments.

Faster time to marketLikewise, because the digital workflow eliminates many time-consuming steps, you can respond quickly to customer requests for ever-faster turnaround. For example, digital printing can shave days off the typical turnaround traditionally needed to produce a short-run packaging job. There are many ways to put those time savings to work: you can impress customers with your ability to meet their previously impossible urgent requests; and, even better, you can help customers gain business flexibility by giving them more time to develop their plans and artwork.

Inventory flexibility with on-demand printingBrands are increasingly looking to their packaging suppliers to help them reduce inventory costs and waste. Digital printing makes it cost effective to print only what is needed, when it is needed. So you can offer customers just-in-time, on-demand printing and delivery of their printed packaging, according to their requirements. Likewise, you can cut back on your in-process and finished goods inventory, saving storage space, eliminating obsolescence, and reducing waste in your own operations.

Improve color consistency, while reducing wasteThe digital printing process makes it easy to achieve color consistency – within a print run, and across campaigns. With no need for an ink kitchen to manually formulate the inks or to balance ink and water during a run, color remains consistent from first to last print and from one job to another –making it easy to produce reruns, reducing waste, and minimizing variations. Likewise, digital printing allows accurate brand and campaign color matching. A standardized palette can be implemented across print production sites, enabling precisely matched multi-touch point campaigns that combine packaging, displays, banners, posters, and more.

Why go digital?

“We had a customer visit. We were literally playing with a number of ideas and different scenarios, and could sample new designs in a matter of minutes. The speed of the process really opened the customer’s eyes to what can be achieved. They told us after the session that what we achieved in a few hours would have taken weeks with traditional workflow methods.” – Corrugated board converter

Do more for your customersWith digital packaging solutions, brands can rapidly and effectively reach diverse audiences that have different tastes and needs.

Complex jobs involving multiple versions and languages are easy to handle. However, you can break large orders down into smaller runs, to support customized and personalized or even personalized campaigns. Leveraging information from a database or external file for variable data printing, text and graphics can be changed on each piece without stopping or slowing down the press. Likewise, you can use variable data to add QR codes and bar codes as well as other logistics information to assist with tracking and delivery.

While effectively handling extreme versioning is the primary near-term focus of the industry and an amazing capability on its own, the ability to cost-effectively make every box different opens exciting new potential for delivering value to your customers. You can support their relationship marketing campaigns with customized and personalized package messaging, and assist their planning with high-value one-off samples and fast prototyping of packages.

Get more from your existing investmentsDigital printing is a perfect complement to traditional flexo and litho. It enhances the reach of your shop floor, adding new capabilities that answer brands’ pressing needs, and allowing you to optimize utilization of your existing equipment. The result: higher productivity and profitability across your operations.

When digital packaging solutions work hand-in-hand with your analog solutions, you can do more and profit more.

Digital is not just about solving challenges; it’s also about opening opportunities. What can digital do for your customers? What can it do for your business?

Case study 2: Speed ahead with cost-effective and high-quality production of short and medium runs with no make-ready between print runs, no printing plates, and no need for ink and spot color mixing.

The challenge New Year’s is a peak season for the champagne industry. Over the year, Petillante, a small vineyard, tested different packaging design concepts. Petillante wanted to deliver champagne in seasonal packaging to local stores as well as use the packaging in its own tasting room, during the yearly peak. Being a small company, using analog processes was too costly for small volumes.

The solution HP digital printing technology is the perfect fit for creative packaging designs and execution. This is where the packaging industry can make the difference. Prototyping, variable data, versioning, ultra-short runs for market testing — previously impractical or expensive with traditional print methods — are now an absolute reality with the latest HP digital printing equipment and associated workflows.

Case study 4: Turn the growing trends toward smaller orders and shorter turnaround to your advantage by building a robust and agile offering of direct-to-board digital printing. Make digital printing your new growth engine.

The challenge Last-minute changes are common when it comes to new product launches, so packaging and retail displays are often the last element to get finalized. When a customer needed 1500 displays within three days of providing artwork, Carmel Frenkel went straight to digital.

The solution The HP Scitex 15500 Corrugated Press was more than up to the challenge. It enabled Carmel Frenkel to produce the full order in time – delighting the customer with both the speed and the quality. The press’ high productivity and high-quality output have fueled significant savings and dramatic growth: Carmel Frenkel’s digital volume tripled in just months, with more jobs, applications and customers; its turnaround is 20% percent faster; and it is saving costs across many parameters.

Case study 5: Give your customers what they want, when they want it. With no litho plates, identical prints cross-run and run-to-run, fast-turnaround, and competitive short-runs, digital printing delivers a perfect-fit solution for today’s demanding market.

The challenge Heritage Paper began digital printing in 2008 with a non-HP press. But that first system was not fully suited to delivering affordable small quantities, high quality and fast turnaround. The California-based packaging manufacturer needed a solution that could produce the quality customers were used to, while offering more agility and greater print consistency.

The solution With its HP Scitex press, Heritage Paper can offer solutions that their customers previously could not get. It can deliver jobs in five days – or even next day – instead of the five weeks needed for litho. It offers customers shorter packaging runs according to actual needs, enables them to make changes to match dynamic offerings, and delivers print quality that replaces litho.

Environment Deliver environmental compliance

As environmental and food packaging safety regulations become more comprehensive, packaging converters need to adapt to ensure compliance in their processes and end-products. At HP, we take compliance seriously and we constantly work to stay up to date with evolving regulatory requirements, and help our customers do the same.

Improving environmental performance also has economic benefits, which we help our customers make the most of. For example, using recyclable media can reduce overall total cost of ownership of a printing solution; and in some regions, there may be financial incentives available for using green technology. On top of this, leading brands increasingly prefer to use environmentally friendly solutions, so having the ability to offer them can be a compelling competitive advantage.

Designed with the environment in mindBy virtue of the digital printing process, and as a result of specific attributes of HP’s UV-curable inks and its water-based HP thermal inkjet printing technology, HP helps to reduce packaging’s impact on the environment. As brands increasingly look to their supply chain to help improve the environmental footprint of their products, you can leverage HP digital printing to offer packaging options that meet environmental regulations and support brands’ goals. Even small steps in the right direction can make a difference.

Product information and specifications

25 In internal HP testing performed in January 2015, samples of PWell E-Flute corrugated board with Graph+ liner were printed in POP Production in “Corrugated appearance” on an HP Scitex Press with HP Scitex High Dynamic Range (HDR) Printing Technology using HP HDR230 Scitex Inks and were tested within 72 hours of printing. Boards were folded once through 180 degrees to one direction to simulate a common finishing stage in printed box production. No cracking of the image layer was observed. Rub resistance was rated greater than 4 on coated media when tested in accordance with ASTM D-5264 on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). Smearing tests demonstrated excellent smear resistance when evaluated by running a one-test cycle using a Taber 5750 Linear Abraser with additional weight of 1350 grams at 25 cycles/minute. Internal HP testing as of March 2015 comparing the rub resistance of HP HDR230 Scitex Inks to leading competitors demonstrated significantly greater surface durability.
