Digital printing is now proven in quality, consistency, and speed but why choose it? As consumer demands shift, brands need more efficient short runs, streamlined workflows, agile inventory, and easy design updates. Digital printing delivers this flexibility, plus advantages like variable data, brand protection, connected packaging for real consumer engagement, and reduced waste. It complements analogue processes, creating a fully flexible and responsive print workflow.

Sun Chemical recognizes that print is only one element of an effective package. By combining deep expertise in inkjet with a strong understanding of conventional print processes, Sun Chemical provides a holistic approach tailored to the needs of both brand owners and packaging manufacturers.

This integrated approach draws on expertise in inks, coatings, color management, and brand consultancy, enabling meaningful transformation across packaging markets.

Sun Chemical is more than a supplier of inks, primers, and coatings, it is a driving force behind packaging innovation.

Trusted by OEMs, converters, and global brands alike, the company’s manufacturing network delivers cutting-edge, sustainable solutions with local support that is always within reach.

Inkjet printing solutions offer lower energy consumption resulting from shorter set-up needs, minimized over production and printing closer to the market (reducing delivery distances and so lowering transport, energy and emissions).

This combined with a reduction in waste from no plate-making requirements, minimized make-ready and print on demand for more efficient inventory management supports brand sustainability targets.

While digital print brings significant value and can play a key role in a pack’s storytelling potential, it must operate as part of a complete and robust packaging solution.

Sun Chemical supports this with a comprehensive portfolio of technologies, including inks, coatings, adhesives, primers, and barrier solutions, ensuring every element of the pack performs as required.

Digital print can unlock deeper consumer engagement through the use of connected packaging.

In a world where consumer data is increasingly valuable, variable data printing and QR codes can be applied at the SKU level, enabling loyalty programmes, regional promotions, and targeted brand messaging.

This approach provides brands with meaningful insights into purchasing behaviors and customer retention.
