Printing seminar enthuses participants

The customer event “Packaging Printing – From final artwork to print result” took place in the PackRight Academy of DS Smith Fulda at the end of October. The seminar provided a broad overview of the different printing processes.

Customers of well-known companies like Bayer CropScience AG, LSI Netherlands B.V., Greenland Seafood Wilhelmshaven GmbH and Cofresco Frischhalteprodukte GmbH & Co. KG participated in the two-day seminar with expert presentations and a plant tour through the production and, crucially, the printing area.

Content of the seminar

On the first day the focus was on the most important printing processes like flexo-, pre- and -postprint, offset printing as well as digital printing. The internal speakers explained the printing processes in detail, the differences, the limits and the areas of use. Samples of the printing processes were shown during a workshop so customers could apply the theory they learned to the real world. On the second day pre-press was the centre of attention. Our display and packaging strategists talked about design, data quality, proofing and print approval in detail.

Plant tour

The plant tour through the production and printing department of the site in Fulda aroused great enthusiasm. All of the theory from the presentations could be seen live in practice. Natasha Brandt from W. Neudorff GmbH KG said: “Especially I liked the detailed insights in the printing processes as well as the great plant tour and interesting presentations.” Michael Salzmann of Borco-Marken-Import Matthiesen GmbH & Co. KG agreed: “The presentations were really exciting and informative. Very well done!”
