Key driversConsumption of CB per capita
660g/m²
530g/m²
690g/m²
• Continuous reduction in material usage consumption – significant gap from
region to region

• Continuous improvement in packaging design to reduce material usage
• Lead to more complexity and accuracy ie new requirement for equipment

DIRECT POST PRINT FLEXO
• Most popular printing process
in CB
• 1 up to 4 colors
• Limited registration
• From small to large
Production runs
• Good enough
POST PRINT FLEXO
BASIC FLEXO HIGH GRAPHIC
• Growing alternative to Preprint and
offset
• Inline or offline
• up to 9 colors + V
• Very good registration
• From small to large Production runs
• In house process
• Installed base still limited
PRE PRINT FLEXO
• Printing process reaching offset process
• Continuous printing process (roll)
• Up to 8 colors and Varnish
• Usually consider as cost effective for long runs.
• Min. production around 3 reel ( 45 000 sqm )
• Need to have long term visibility in marketing campaign management
• Can be used for very large packaging dimension
• Printing combinations are possible Pre-Print & Post-Print HG for latest
Differentiation
• Cost of the printing plates quiet important ( size up to 2.8 m web)

OFFSET PRINTING
• # 1 Printing process for Very high graphic requirement 150 LPI
• Sheet to sheet printing process, offline
• Up to 7 colors and Varnish (most common is 5 + varnish)
• The sheet must be laminated on a corrugated board roll or on a sheet
(ASITRADE litho-laminator machine)
• Standard coated paper have poor mechanical characteristics (can be
balanced with appropriate adjustment on the board combination)
• Stock usually required to secure a long term implementation process
• Limited dimensions on machine side i.e. 2 pieces pack will be
required from time to time
• Direct Litho now possible, but limited to light, flexible sheets (micro
and nano-flute)

Visual Impact Distance
Time to cross the aisle is seconds
To be seen - Visual Printing Impact is key
VISUAL EFFECT in STORES
• At a distance of 2-10 m the visual impact is maximum
and at the same distance the customer must
received the marketing message
• Impossible to differentiate the printing process
with their quality
