Participants also examined how digital workflows can help businesses respond more quickly to changing consumer demands and shorter product life cycles.

Supporting Sustainable Packaging Growth

Sustainability was another major theme throughout the event.

Speakers discussed how digital printing technologies can reduce inventory requirements, minimize overproduction and improve production efficiency while supporting the growing demand for environmentally responsible packaging.

The summit also explored how digital printing is making premium packaging more accessible for startups and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) by enabling economical short production runs and reducing inventory risks.
