Packaging decoration is changing
Packaging manufacturers are facing growing pressure from both brands and consumers. Product portfolios continue to expand, production runs are becoming shorter, packaging designs change more frequently than ever before, and demand for customization is increasing. At the same time, manufacturers are expected to improve sustainability, reduce operational costs, and maintain high line efficiency.
Traditional decoration methods such as labels and In-Mold Labels (IML) often struggle to keep pace with these demands. They require long lead-times, large minimum order quantities (MOQs), significant label inventories, additional handling steps, setup time, and complex logistics. Every design change can introduce additional costs and operational complexity.
As a result, many manufacturers are looking for a decoration technology that combines flexibility, quality, and efficiency in one integrated process.
Delta Engineering’s answer: fully automated digital printing
Delta Engineering brings digital printing directly into the packaging production line. Our automated digital printing systems apply high-resolution graphics and variable data directly onto bottles, cups, jars, pails, and other rigid packaging formats.
By combining advanced multi-pass digital printing technology with our expertise in industrial automation, manufacturers and fillers can decorate packaging without labels, without tooling, and without interrupting production flow.
The result is a fully integrated digital printing process.
Fastest time-to-market
In today’s competitive packaging market, brands need to respond quickly to changing customer demands, seasonal campaigns, and product launches. Digital printing removes the delays associated with traditional label production, allowing artwork updates to be implemented instantly.
Manufacturers can switch seamlessly between designs, produce short runs efficiently, and launch new packaging concepts significantly faster without disrupting production. This shorter setup time and increased agility help accelerate time-to-market while maintaining high production efficiency and consistent print quality.
Digital printing enables brands to combine flexibility with premium visual impact. Our systems deliver high-resolution graphics with excellent repeatability, ensuring every package meets the same quality standards.
With IML-level print quality and consistent color accuracy, manufacturers can create eye-catching packaging while maintaining reliable production performance at industrial speeds.
Integrated automation for higher OEE
Our digital printing solutions can be combined with conveying systems, leak testing, plasma coating, and line control software to create one synchronized production flow. This reduces manual intervention, minimizes downtime, and helps improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
For production engineers, this translates into greater production stability, reliable 24/7 operation, and a more efficient use of resources.
Digital printing transforms packaging decoration from a fixed, inventory-driven process into a flexible, data-driven production technology.
By combining outstanding print quality, operational flexibility, integrated automation, and sustainability, our digital printing systems enable manufacturers to reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and respond faster to changing market demands.
