Heidelberg’s strategy is based on developing machines and printing lines around inkjet technology, which it previewed at Interpack. Its main board member, Stephan Plenz, declared, “Digital packaging will more than triple in four years and its growth rates is expected to be bigger in the future. UV inkjet printing is rapidly gaining importance thanks to its versatility in the choice of substrates and the fact that it can be directly integrated into packaging production lines.”
