HANOVER PARK, ILFUJIFILM North America Corp, Graphic Systems Division, announces its entrance into the flexible packaging market with its new J Press FP790 digital inkjet water-based press (hereafter the FP790). The FP790 will be available in the North America market mid-2022, with the product being launched on a global basis in phases after that.

According to a recent Smithers report on the Future of Flexible Packaging Through 2024, global consumption of flexible packaging is forecast to increase at an annual average rate of 4 percent over the next three years. Today, digital print within the flexible packaging segment makes up less than 1 percent of overall total output. Digital printing for flexible packaging is becoming increasingly necessary as the demand for shorter and more strategic runs, faster delivery times, more SKUs and a more efficient print process, continues to grow. Meeting this increased demand can only be accomplished using a high-end digital production asset.
