FINAT Establishes Digital Label Printability Task Force
There are a number of challenges currently identified and determined. There is a need for defining and agreeing on digital technologies and terminology. It is desirable to benchmark digital label printing processes against each other and against conventional printing on existing test equipment. In addition, standards and procedures for testing digital label printing need to be written and dedicated or new test methods developed where required.
“In the light of the current global supply chain with pressing needs for global standards, being technical or environmental, it is my belief that less is more,” comments Andrea Vimercati, President at FINAT. “Collaboration and commitment to meeting common needs and driving common initiatives is what matters, not the technology as such. FINAT is there to serve the needs of both ‘conventional’ and digital label companies to jointly develop and determine the overall labelling and packaging agenda.”
