The storefront is a critical element of many web-to-print (W2P) solutions, which is further brought to light as the COVID-19 pandemic forces consumers and businesses alike to adapt the ways in which they do business.
The demand for shorter print runs and custom orders are increasing, leading to the adoption of digital print technologies. Digital print providers want to offer the same features traditional clients expect, like die cutting. Several modern die cutters on the market are ideal for digital print environments that must remain profitable on complex, low-volume work.
Post-press solutions are integral to the digital printing process. Varying configurations, including unwinders/rewinders, gluers/folders, inserters, binders, trimmers, and slitters are routinely required on the production floor—whether placed inline, near line, or offline. Trends in inkjet from personalization to achieving higher volumes are major influences on the newest generation of post-print equipment.
In the print process, the proof is part of the contract between print provider and client. Therefore, it is essential that it is a controlled and accurate presentation of what to come. For digital and/or hybrid printing environments, inkjet proofing looks a little different than traditional processes.
As consumer expectations shift, the companies that serve them must also evolve. Brand owners increasingly demand high-quality labels with faster turnarounds. Further, they request shorter, more frequent runs. These needs are all met with digital printing equipment. Savvy label providers invest in digital printing and finishing equipment to ensure they never miss an opportunity.
