Screen Truepress PAC 830F wins Industrial Efficiency Award at All4Pack 

Screen Europe's Truepress PAC 830F advanced digital inkjet press for flexible plastic packaging has received the Industrial Efficiency Award at the All4Pack Innovations Awards.  
  
A panel of 30 multi-disciplinary experts from the French packaging industry recognized the Truepress PAC 830F for its design, enabling sustainable, efficient, flexible packaging production, especially as markets adapt to increasingly stringent environmental regulations where the need to produce recyclable packaging structures with less waste is a must. 

The Truepress PAC 830F digital press addresses this need with water-based, food-safe inks that are safer for both consumers and printing operators. Its inkjet efficiency and print-on-demand capabilities reduce substrate waste and obsolete packaging. Meanwhile, this single-pass industrial inkjet digital press also enables the production of mono-material packaging structures that are easier to recycle, making it a suitable choice for converters focused on efficiency and sustainability. 

Juan Cano, business development director for flexible packaging at Screen Europe, shared: 'This award is a testament to the dedication and innovation of our teams in Europe and Japan. Their relentless pursuit of excellence has driven us to develop a solution that not only enhances packaging printing efficiency but also aligns perfectly with our customers' sustainability objectives.'

The company reported that Screen's latest digital inkjet innovations address the limitations of traditional analog processes such as flexography, rotogravure, and offset. While these methods are efficient for medium to long runs, they often come with high setup costs, lengthy preparation times, and significant waste. According to the company, as the market increasingly demands more sustainable and cost-effective products, converters face the challenge of delivering shorter runs with faster turnarounds.

The Truepress PAC 830F reaches up to 75 m a min at a resolution of 1200x1200 DPI, enabling converters to achieve fast turnarounds, allowing products to reach the market in days rather than weeks. 

With packaging digitalization, flexible packaging converters can explore new revenue streams through web-to-print services, expanding their reach with small-batch, customized packaging. 
 
Cano concluded: 'The Truepress PAC 830F empowers converters to navigate the complexities of the packaging market with confidence. By integrating digital printing capabilities, businesses can achieve higher productivity, cost savings, and a stronger commitment to sustainable practices.'
