In packaging (films, pouches, flow-pack, laminates, sleeves, primary and secondary packs), printing is not “just graphics”: it is productivity, consistency and margin. Today the market is pushing towards more SKUs, shorter runs, more frequent job changes and ever higher quality standards. This is why companies in the sector look for machinery that reduces make-ready time and waste, while maintaining stable quality even at high speed.
Typical requirements for a packaging company
Packaging manufacturers must deliver on time, with consistent quality and controlled costs. In practice, the most common requirements are:
Fast job changeovers (more SKUs, more frequent set-ups) and less material wasted during start-up.
Register stability on thin films: in flexible packaging, substrate sensitivity makes process control decisive.
Useful automation: presets, guided procedures and controls that make output repeatable (less dependence on operator skill, more continuity).
What competitors do (and why it matters)
Why Ofem suits Packaging
Leading manufacturers in this sector (international players, both new and premium used) focus on a mix of automation, waste reduction, greater agility and, in many cases, CI (central-impression) platforms for flexible substrates, because they improve register control and consistency on thin materials.
This is not marketing language: it is the practical response to modern packaging dynamics.
Ofem improves customer competitiveness with a practical approach: selecting the right platform, configuring it correctly, and supporting operations.
For packaging applications, the central-impression family is often the most suitable choice when stability and quality are required on flexible films.
