“It is an exciting time for the plastic packaging industry – be it in food and beverage, personal care or home care sector”, says Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA. “They all are challenged with the need for innovative yet cost-saving packaging. The direct decoration technologies become a real game-changer that reduces the costs, removes storage burden, allows flexibility and unlocks limitless design possibilities. Direct printing offers an added value in brand enhancement, as well. Now the product can even communicate with the consumer, as we will see in one of the presentations at the DCP 2015.”
