And that has a lot to do with the steps forward\u2014some might even say leaps forward\u2014in the digital packaging print technology available from print providers. The current digital press technology means more productivity, more innovative designs and, for forward-looking printshops, the ability to bring new high-margin business into the fold.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on who you read and where you look, the growth of carton converting, flexible packaging and other related printing can vary in the specific numbers; but the experts and analysts all agree on one thing\u2014it is growing. In fact, a quick Google search will even reveal numerous reports looking at the topic. One such result from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smitherspira.com\/industry-market-reports\/printing\/digital\/the-future-of-digital-print-for-packaging-to-2022\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Smithers Pira<\/a> says their exclusive research shows that the current digital print packaging marketplace in 2017 is worth $13.2 billion\u2026a number they project to grow to $23.2 billion in 2022. Statistics they say reflect an 11.2% annual increase in value.<\/p>\n<p>The report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smitherspira.com\/industry-market-reports\/printing\/digital\/the-future-of-digital-print-for-packaging-to-2022\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Future of Digital Print for Packaging 2022<\/a>, isn\u2019t inexpensive, but we think this quote from the report author in their announcement will drive home the potential that is obtainable in the packaging opportunity:<\/p>\n<p>Growth is forecast in different applications and regions at varying rates. In packaging, it will be rising sharply as more players get involved, make investments and see how these benefit their customers. There will be new campaigns, which will be copied. Converters will also provide new services in response to their customers, which will allow significant supply chain efficiencies \u2013 some of which are not clear in early 2017, but will open up over the next few years to better suit the final packaging consumers. The goal for all parties is to satisfy buyers.\u2014Dr. Sean Smyth<\/p>\n<p>Other analyst in the marketplace like InfoTrends, a division of KeyPoint Intelligence, have listed packaging as one of the \u201cTop Trends\u201d coming out of Drupa 2016 and have their own reports and forecast curves showing significant upward growth. Moreover, they have an entire tag devoted to it on their InfoBlog. Which brings us to the point that printers and print hardware providers can\u2019t ignore\u2014packaging is hot!<\/p>\n<p>As Jeremy Clarkson would say, \u201cAnd on that bombshell\u2026\u201d, we invite you to get Scodified with the latest from our innovative team. Recently, we wrote about <a href=\"http:\/\/scodix.com\/blog\/bringing-market-change-to-packaging-with-new-and-innovative-print-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Bring Market Change to Packaging with New and Innovative Print Technology<\/a>.
