Mondi Launches White Digital Printing for Corrugated Packaging to Boost Sustainability

Mondi Introduces White Digital Printing for Corrugated Packaging

Mondi, which is a worldwide leader in sustainable paper and packing, has extended its six-colour digital printing variety for corrugated packaging to contain white ink. This invention reflects the rising trend of white digital printing on brown packaging. It allows vivid, high-contrast patterns that improve brand identity and help sustainable, resource-efficient solutions, binding the flexibility of this advanced technology. The new white digital printing choice is more than just an added colour. A white underprint provides colours, logos, and motifs with the same stand-out contrast on brown corrugated board as they do on a white substrate, a significant factor for brand recognition and visibility at the point of sale. 

Halftone printing is also accessible, which permits smooth gradients, discriminated shading, and chamfers that create three-dimensional image qualities. This consequences in brilliant, high-contrast print images and new potentials for distinguishing, high-quality labelling and packaging patterns.

High-performance digital printing is one of the most sustainable and flexible printing procedures available. It mixes high manufacture speeds with high-quality, multicolour print images on both white and brown outer layers as well as on open flutes.

All inks utilized are water-based, tested, and permitted for the usage on primary packaging by Swiss Quality Testing Services (SQTS), a sovereign, internationally established laboratory for food safety examining. With data-to-print technology, printing plates or clichés are no longer required, which decreases set-up and production times and permits new patterns to be announced quickly and adapted at short notice.

Digital printing, now counting the white option, provides advantages beyond those of flexographic or offset printing. A major advantage is the capability to print sequential barcodes, EAN codes, and QR codes directly onto the packaging. This eradicates the necessity for separate labels, saving charges, time, and resources, while also dropping potential scanning errors.

Medium and large amounts of the same patterns can also be printed with distinctions in a single run, for instance, for seasonal, regional, or event-related movements. Thanks to optimised quantity splitting, only the needed amount is generated per print image, decreasing storage charges and stopping surpluses.

With these benefits, digital printing is suited to a wide variety of sectors, comprising eCommerce, food and beverages, and other fast-moving consumer products. The overview of white further strengthens Mondi’s position as a visionary in sustainable packing and marks a significant milestone for the industry.
