    Printing machinery is entering a new era. The industry’s competitiveness no longer depends only on printing faster, but on building more connected, automated and intelligent processes. The integration of software, data and control systems is opening up new opportunities for industrial printing, packaging and visual communication.

    Digital and hybrid packaging

    More versatility for new demands. Hybrid equipment combines technologies such as flexo, inkjet, finishing and inline die-cutting to deliver greater flexibility, personalisation and efficiency in production. A direct response to a market that demands shorter runs and tighter deadlines.

    Automation and quality control

    More AI, more efficiency. Camera-based inspection systems and real-time control make it possible to detect errors, ensure quality and optimise every stage of production, reducing waste and reprints.

    New finishing processes

    More automation, more precision. Innovation also happens after printing. Digital cutting, robotic post-press, new UV LED curing systems and energy management open up new opportunities to produce more efficiently and sustainably.

    The print factories of the future

    The future of the graphic arts industry is being built on innovation and adaptability. Software, data, automation, peripherals and process integration will be key to building the print factories of the future. The solutions redefining the industry will be on show at Graphispag 2027.
