EFI Launches New Packsize EFI X5 Nozomi for Fast, Right-Sized Packaging Automation

EFI Advances Packaging Automation with On-Demand, Right-Sized Box Technology

Electronics for Imaging (EFI) has introduced its new solution, the Packsize EFI X5 Nozomi. It is the first-ever impressive, apt-sized, full-color, on-demand box system. This box system focuses on addressing challenges, such as the ongoing labor needs and the long time required to achieve packaging goals. Considering this launch, most packaging companies, along with EFI, are in the process of transforming their presence and operations to better serve retailers and brands.

The providers' satisfaction with rising sustainability demands, the accelerated development of crucial SKU portfolios, and labor costs is also a major achievement in itself. To this end, EFI and Packsize have combined their strengths to deliver a groundbreaking solution.

This new solution reached its potential due to Packsize’s industry, Packsize's known apt-sized packaging technology, and EFI’s market-evident X5 Nozomi. This single-pass digital printing system integrates folding, labelling, gluing, creasing, cutting, and printing into one automated workflow. The outcome is a robust system that can create a full-fledged erection, print, and a perfectly sized box within six seconds. Every box is trimmed to the branding and dimensions essential to each product for protection.

The X5 Nozomi is an intensified and popular EFI’s resolution CMYKO expanding-gamut print technology, with the potential to deliver production-stage speed, rapid artwork changeovers, and different brand colors. Full elimination of make-ready and plates, and no stress for tool quick availability, can meet personalized and customized requirements regardless of velocity and mixture environment. The system integrates seamlessly with PackNet® and Packsize’s Smart Scaling software pipeline.

The system also refines all box designs to meet material efficiency standards and is a product-fit, space-justified solution. The unified Fiery® NZ-1000 digital front end promises consistency and increased color accuracy throughout the process. The brand’s demand is for color and impressively accurate packaging sizes, and this solution not only fulfils those demands but also addresses the challenges that disrupt packaging operations.

The X5 Nozomi exemplifies an intelligent strategic response to the disturbing challenges. Achieving innovation bottlenecks, meeting sustainability mandates, cutting time from weeks to hours, and equipping automation by replacing it with various manual steps. As a result, customers have experienced significant impacts, including an 84% reduction in fillers, a 30% reduction in energy use, a 34% reduction in corrugated material, and a reduction of around 5% in shipping costs.
