Smithers are excited to announce Digital Print for Packaging in a Disruptive World – a webinar by Smithers in association with Cabot InkJet Colorants.

The unprecedented disruption caused by COVID 19 will bring about changes within the packaging industry - and many of these potential changes are affecting the adoption of digital print.

This exclusive webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the major changes taking place in packaging, and explores the major drivers, trends and potential impact on digital printing.

Dr. Sean Smyth, print expert at Smithers, will guide a discussion of the most significant trends in packaging and print and the investment climate for the industry as the global economy continues to recover from the historic COVID 19 -related demand destruction. Dr. Smyth will share insights on the “new normal” industry trends – including e-commerce, supply chain disruption and brand owner changes – and deep dive around the market landscape and the major drivers that are impacting your industry.
