Capabilities / Innovation

Innovation

Innovation with measurable customer purpose

Practical innovation that connects materials, printing, converting and customer-line performance.

Paperboard roll feeding the digital press

Four customer outcomes

What every project has to move

01

Sustainability

Fiber-based alternatives, barriers and foil alternatives.

02

Cost improvement

Less complexity, tooling and waste.

03

Line efficiency

Runnability, inspection and fewer stops.

04

Consumer experience

Shelf appeal, integrity and premium feel.

New capability

Industrial Digital Printing Platform

New possibilities for procurement, packaging, brand, marketing, innovation and supply chain teams.

2026 Customization

01 · Variable data at scale

Unlimited customization

Different content, same brand architecture, carton by carton. One brand. Endless stories. Every carton.

2026 Workflow

02 · Digital workflow

Speed to market

Approved artwork, copy and version changes are made digitally, without a new plate-making cycle. From approved artwork to carton. Faster.

2026 Production

03 · Continuous digital production

Flexible, demand-matched production

Different SKUs sharing one carton structure are sequenced in one digital program, each quantity targeted around its own demand. Right SKU mix. Right quantities.

2026 Precision

04 · Digital print technology

Digital precision

Sharp detail, vibrant color and consistent results across SKUs and variable content.

Innovation portfolio

Three innovation platforms

Every project is chosen because it moves at least one of the four customer outcomes.

Platform 01

Premium decoration

Brilliance and tactile effects without laminated foil.

Foil alternative

VMP mirror finish: a cost-competitive alternative to transfer-metallized board, with spot-print flexibility. Our foundational platform.

02

Inline cold foil

Metallic effects applied in line, in production since 2023.

03

Specialty print effects

Raised UV, soft-touch and reticulation.

Platform 02

Functional & sustainable

Fiber-based performance as an alternative to plastic and foil.

Water reticulating coatings

Part of our current portfolio.

02

Wet strength coating for beverage board

A specialized coating designed for beverage board applications.

03

L-Board alternative

Print approved; validation includes extraction testing mode.

04

Barrier & foil-appeal coatings

On our 2026 development roadmap.

Platform 03

Digital, structure & line

Faster, stronger packages that run better.

RotaJET wide-web digital

Industrial inkjet with integrated inspection, in active commercialization.

Max Handle carrier

Stronger handle, less package damage.

G-T-S Eliminator / Evenflow

Ionized-air static control, trialed at the cartoner infeed; resolved the static issue.
