The development of digital technologies in packaging
(mainly : primary, secondary, tertiary packaging; labels,
inserts, POS advertising, signs and visual displays)
fosters reflection on the global organization of the
graphic chain and the interoperability of tools : from
the first stages of creation, through production and
traceability, up to the end of the packaging life-cycle.
This “dematerialization” of the graphic
chain has an impact in terms of improving productivity,
organization, investment and training, cost reduction,
relations between the specifiers, service providers
and suppliers.
