Leipa, packaging.digital and Xeikon to work together

LEIPA, a leading manufacturer of sustainable board solutions, is pleased to announce the debut of its latest product offering: digitally printable board. This innovative development enables customers to print personalised images, barcodes, sequential numbers or small quantities or quantity top-ups and tailor-made designs directly onto LEIPA's board sheets.

In collaboration with packaging.digital, the first and only printing service provider for digitally printed packaging board (Solid Board) and Xeikon, with their IDERA digital printing technology, LEIPA is proud to be the pioneer in producing this revolutionary substrate for the digital printing process. This product innovation opens up a wide range of opportunities for customers to significantly increase the value of their carton packaging.

"At LEIPA, we are committed to driving innovation in the board industry and our partnership with packaging.digital is an important milestone in this journey," said Thomas, Karl, Global Head of Sales at LEIPA. "We are pleased to offer our customers the opportunity to offer highly customised, digitally printed board solutions that are tailored to their exact requirements. With the IDERA from Xeikon, Flint Group's digital division, the first large-format board sheets could be printed in single pass operation under reproducible parameters."

This new offering covers a wide range of requirements, such as highly individualised industrial packaging products in medium runs, as well as sample and prototype construction as well as small series. "Imagine being able to always react to current circumstances with your messages on the box or packaging." This is possible with digital printing!" says Mario Deilen, CEO at packaging.digital, "with the combined know-how of LEIPA, Xeikon and packaging.digital, customers can receive unparalleled quality and efficiency through water-based single-pass digital printing technology."
