    Introducing the New HP ThermaCore

    The ThermaCore system from HP is part of a new generation of thermal inkjet (TIJ) systems that bring new functionality to the technology.  Ideal for brands that need to print the new GS1 Digital Link and other 2D barcodes on their packaging as part of the migration to 2D barcodes project - Sunrise 2027, I had the opportunity to get a little hands-on experience with this new product at Pack Expo Las Vegas.  Also, thank you to Bao Nguyen of HP for his insights.

    Late-Stage Customization

    Late-Stage Customization can help businesses to reduce inventory costs. By customizing packaging late in the process, companies can avoid managing inventories of pre-printed packaging materials. With late-stage customization, either blank or generically printed materials are ordered that will be customized right on the packaging line. LSC can help businesses improve their speed in the market. By customizing packaging quickly and easily, companies can bring new products to market more rapidly or respond to changes in customer demand more quickly.https://packagingnews.net/can-late-stage-customization-help-your-business/
