“By listening to what our community of clients and future clients are telling us, FUJIFILM can continue to refine the solutions that are needed to ensure the industry stays competitive in the demands for agility, innovation and excellence.“
More than just an event, the “2024 Digital Packaging Summit” was a preview of what’s to come— a snapshot into the cutting-edge advancements FUJIFILM customers can continue to expect to see. As one attendee of the Summit’s Digital Flex Pack said, the J Press FP790 case study from FUJIFILM was the only presentation that kept him awake.
Through the open dialogue and networking, the connections we made at the Summit enabled us to showcase the technologies, expertise and commitment FUJIFILM has to complement everything we do. By delivering more comprehensive products and solutions at a gathering of industry leaders, innovators and visionaries, FUJIFILM continues to cement the foundation we are building—a legacy of quality that empowers current and future customers to make sound, strategic investment decisions that will shape their future success.
Take the buzz around our J Press FP790, a revolutionary water-based digital inkjet press designed specifically for the flexible packaging market. With its unparalleled color consistency, expanded color gamut and impressive production capabilities, the J Press FP790 represents a game-changer for the flexible packaging segment. Our presentations sparked significant interest among attendees who were eager to explore its capabilities further.
In addition to its advancements in flexible packaging, FUJIFILM demonstrated the power of our digital embellishment and digital screen white replacement technologies. These innovations continue to pave the way for more inline automation and higher-quality label production, giving brands and converters the tools they need to elevate their packaging aesthetics and efficiency.
No gathering of industry professionals is complete without a spotlight on sustainability. As today’s packaging demands shift toward more eco-friendly solutions, our inkjet technologies stand head and shoulders above the rest for their ability to deliver high-quality results in a single pass while supporting greener practices.
Also, automation continues to emerge as a critical theme. During the Summit, FUJIFILM’s emphasis on its advancements in software tools like COLORPATH® Sync™ and PressReady gained considerable notice. The upcoming Brand Color Optimizer, which leverages the REVORIA PRESS™ PC1120’s pink toner for expanded gamut, is set to offer clients even greater precision and efficiency in color management.
FUJIFILM also took center stage to showcase our reach beyond presses with innovations like the J Press 750HS digital inkjet sheetfed press, which grabbed the attention of the folding carton market. Also, the FUJIFILM DE1024 digital embellishment printbar was recognized for its retrofit capabilities in imprinting and embellishment.
By listening to what our community of current and future clients are telling us, FUJIFILM can continue to refine the solutions that are needed to ensure the industry stays competitive in the demands for agility, innovation and excellence. For us, the Digital Packaging Summit isn’t just a meeting of minds; it’s a catalyst for progress—and we continue to lead the charge.
