The packaging industry is under pressure to deliver high-quality, variable-data prints with minimal lead time. Traditional workflows—reliant on disparate design, prepress, and finishing tools—introduce inefficiencies. Esko (Gent, Belgium) provides an end-to-end platform that bridges design, prepress, and cutting. This paper explores how Esko’s integrated approach supports digital transformation.

Automated workflows and precise digital cutting minimize material waste and eliminate the need for costly manual revisions, which directly improves the bottom line. The packaging industry is under pressure to deliver

Esko reduces waste

The packaging and label printing industry faces increasing demands for shorter runs, faster turnaround, and versioned artwork. Esko, a global leader in integrated software and hardware solutions, addresses these challenges by providing a connected workflow from design to cutting. This paper reviews Esko’s core product portfolio, including ArtiosCAD, Automation Engine, and Kongsberg tables, and analyzes their impact on productivity, consistency, and waste reduction. Findings indicate that Esko’s ecosystem reduces prepress errors by up to 70% and improves die-making accuracy, positioning the company as a key enabler of Industry 4.0 in print manufacturing.

By integrating these disparate steps into a unified platform, Esko reduces waste, improves efficiency, and reduces the time from initial concept to the final physical product. Core Pillars of Esko Technology 1. Software Solutions: Designing and Managing
