Efficient production processes mean less waste, greater throughput, and healthier margins at a time when each has never been more important. Historically, refining the production process meant adding more – more complex machines, more operators, more space to house them. With cutting edge innovations from Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (Kongsberg PCS), these improvements can be achieved with a single machine, streamlining workflows while empowering operators and creatives with the freedom to generate the ideas that will drive the future of

Investing in the future has never been more important. Installing next generation cutting equipment will unlock many new possibilities for converters, allowing them the freedom to innovate and stay ahead of the competition. However, as businesses grow beyond their equipment, the cost of upgrading new systems can be prohibitive. At a time when industries across the world are finding margins squeezed, this is true more than ever. Any investments must deliver immediate results, especially for businesses or brands expanding into digital finishing for the first time.

Combining this rapid, versatile production process with the precision required to eliminate mistakes and maximize quality can be difficult for traditional production processes. Swapping materials between machines increases the chances of human error creeping into the process, and each error comes with a cost. In the post-pandemic market, which demands packaging in greater volumes, of higher

demands packaging in greater volum es, of higher quality, and of more creative design, it’s unsurprising that converters are turning to digitized solutions. Consumers now expect the attention to detail in packaging that, historically, only hand-finishing was able to provide. They also expect the end product that appears on store shelves to be produced sustainably – but do not expect to pay more. An agile digital finishing solution can help converters achieve optimal levels of quality while reducing waste - and do so at the pace the modern market demands.
