The packaging.digital business model delivers OEM packaging services for corrugated plants, converters, trade, and e-commerce. This model targets those manufacturers and converters of corrugated packaging and displays that do not have in-house digital print production facilities. The packaging.digital operators bring a wealth of experience in corrugated production and in additional processing (die-cutting, gluing, finishing). This way, the company’s founders aim to be a leading OEM packaging service provider that not only tailors to the market’s requirements today but also proactively anticipates future challenges.
Mario Deilen, co-CEO, packaging.digital, explains, “We want to push the possibilities of digital printing further and be the partner converters need without investing in their own digital print resources. Xeikon IDERA allows us to realise individualisation, handle short runs, and deliver at the speed the process of corrugated packaging and display production requires. Xeikon IDERA enables us to think outside the box and bring new concepts to the market.”
“We wanted our service offering to be profitable, sustainable, and smart for everyone,” adds Sebastian Wolff, co-CEO, packaging.digital. “That includes making the process experience as user-friendly and complete as possible so converters can focus on creating and delivering the added value brands and consumers demand.”
