San Diego — At PackExpo, Memjet OEM partners will demonstrate solutions that give printers, manufacturers and fulfillment providers the ability to produce the high-quality, customized packaging that is increasingly in demand in today’s digital marketplace. PackExpo begins today and runs until September 27, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Kevin Shimamoto, chief marketing officer at Memjet, says, “Because it is often the first physical contact a customer has with a company, packaging plays a critical role in creating a positive relationship with the customer. That’s why successful businesses ensure their packages go beyond a plain brown box and include customized elements such as logos, images, messages, ads and order details. Research has shown that packaging that includes this type of customization not only improves the perception of a brand but also keeps customers coming back for more business.”

To meet the demand that comes with the production of this type of packaging, printers, manufacturers and packaging suppliers are increasingly using Memjet single-pass digital color inkjet solutions. These solutions print extremely fast, firing millions of drops of ink per second to produce exceptional quality at a low cost.

The printheads remain rigid over the package and can be assembled to create various widths and system speeds, depending on the type of packaging needed. A plain corrugated package has to pass under the fixed printheads only once for them to lay down all the colors and details required.

Whether manufacturers produce their own packages or use an inkjet-equipped packaging supplier, they need to buy only one style of corrugated box and customize it based on the customer, order, buying preferences, season or occasion — whatever will help foster a positive connection with their customers.

With these digital solutions, packaging can be printed on-demand for any run length, eliminating set-up, inventory, waste, scrap and other costly expenses associated with analog printing.
