Opening the door to the corrugated, flexible-packaging and folding-carton markets previously not addressed by digital printing technologies, HP(NYSE:HPQ) has announced expansion of its Graphics Solutions portfolio at interpack 2014.
To help packaging converters and manufacturers take advantage of the digital opportunity, HP is introducing the HP Scitex 15000 Corrugated Press for production of corrugated displays and short-run packaging. HP also announced general availability and a new lamination partner for its HP Indigo 20000 and 30000 Digital Presses.
"After leading the shift to digital in label printing, HP is again driving an unstoppable analog-to-digital transformation in the package printing industry. With HP solutions, packaging converters can capture the benefits of digital printing to diversify business models, reach new customers and explore new profit areas," said Gido van Praag, Vice-President & General Manager, Graphics Solutions Business, HP Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Extending its end-to-end packaging solution partner network, HP also signed an agreement with Comexi Group, a leading flexible packaging machinery manufacturer, to develop a dedicated lamination solution. Optimized for the HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press, the Comexi NEXUS L20000 will offer advanced solvent-free lamination, delivering shorter time to market with reduced waste and environmental impact.
