Digital printing is a printing method in which a design file is transferred directly from a digital environment to the printing machine. Unlike traditional offset printing, it does not require films, plates, or lengthy preparation steps. As a result, it is particularly advantageous for low-volume, fast-turnaround jobs.
In packaging design, the transformation of ideas into reality often begins with presenting a prototype to the client. This is where digital printing proves indispensable.
1. Fast Prototyping
Digital printing allows the creation of a one-to-one mock-up of the designed packaging in a very short time. Sample boxes, labels, or brochures can be produced within hours.
2. Low-Quantity Production
Producing 10–100 trial units using offset can be costly. Digital printing, however, offers a cost-effective and practical solution for small-volume jobs.
3. Color and Design Testing
Previewing your brand’s corporate colors, logo placement, or graphics in print form helps prevent post-production surprises. Digital printing allows for real-time revisions.
4. Easier Client Approval
Having a tangible sample in hand strengthens client communication, builds trust, and accelerates the decision-making and production process.

In the world of packaging, making an impact goes beyond exterior design—it’s also about streamlined and smart production processes. Digital printing provides both creative and practical benefits, helping brands save time and money.
Choosing the right printing technology at the sampling stage can be a decisive factor on the path to a successful product.
