Digital print cover shows brand owners how to pack a punch

30 March 2016

The latest issue of PKN Packaging News, sister brand to Food & Drink Business in the Yaffa Media stable, sports a unique front cover of which 4500 different versions were produced using HP Mosaic software and digitally printed on a HP Indigo 7800.

The cover was designed to demonstrate to brand owners the scope of possibilities for customisation and personalisation made possible using HP Mosaic and digital printing.

In this case there are three variable areas on the cover itself: the design on the can, the PKN masthead, and the version number on the top right of the page.

You can read more about how global brands are using the technology here.

And you can find out more about the cover project in this video here:
