interpack 2026 – SCREEN Showcasing the Digital Printing Future of Packaging
At interpack 2026, SCREEN Europe will demonstrate the expanding role of digital inkjet printing in packaging production, taking place from 7–13 May 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany
Düsseldorf, Germany – interpack 2026, the world’s leading exhibition for the packaging industry, brings together the global packaging supply chain at a time when digitalisation is playing a central role in transforming production efficiency and flexibility. According to a recent Smithers study, The Future of Digital Print for Packaging to 2030, in four years the value of the digital packaging sector is expected to reach $36.9 billion, growing by an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% after 2025, while the total printed packaging market growing by only average 3.6%.
The evidence is clear. The future of packaging converting is digital, and you can be a part of that future with SCREEN at interpack 2026 Hall 8a, Stand E50, with live production and application-focused insights demonstrating how inkjet printing technology is quickly becoming a key solution in the ongoing digitalisation of flexible packaging and label converting.
Inkjet Printing Driving the Next Wave of Packaging Innovation
SCREEN’s exhibition will focus on how advanced inkjet printing solutions support packaging converters and brand owners facing increasing pressure for shorter runs, faster turnaround times, greater sustainability, and more data-driven production workflows.
At the centre of SCREEN’s stand will be live production demonstrations of the Truepress PAC 520P, SCREEN’s digital inkjet press for paper-based packaging. This sustainability focused digital printing solution, which recently entered full commercial production following its first global installation at Sacchital, has been engineered to make paper-based flexible packaging a practical and scalable opportunity. Using water-based, food packaging safety regulation compliant ink and advanced workflow automation, it supports converters looking to diversify into sustainable packaging applications with minimal risk while maximising profitability as converters expand into new markets and applications.
In addition to paper-based flexible packaging, visitors can explore SCREEN’s broader portfolio of digital inkjet solutions for plastic flexible packaging and labels. This includes the latest updates on the Truepress PAC 830F, following its first installation at Chiyoda Gravure near Tokyo, Japan seeing digitally printed plastic flexible packaging on supermarket shelves. More brands are looking for the ability to get new designs into production on shorter notice and are looking to converters with the digital printing agility to deliver these results right now. What is today an exciting new niche for packaging printing, will soon be the standard, and businesses need to begin their digital transformation today to stay ahead of the curve.
SCREEN will also present the newest developments for its Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI, one of the most widely adopted digital inkjet label presses globally, with more than 300 installations, deploys the latest innovations in automation and end-to-end solution integration “lights-out” production to address growing pain points in label converting like shortening production runs, frequent artwork changes, and a growing lack of highly skilled labour to maintain a high throughput while minimising workflow complexity.
CGS Oris INK SAVER for SCREEN Digital Printing
At interpack 2026, SCREEN will host workflow management experts from CGS ORIS to demonstrate how intelligent colour management plays a vital role in efficient, future-ready digital printing. With their solution PRESS MATCHER available for all SCREEN’s inkjet presses digitalising colour matching across different jobs, printing processes, or even facilities without impacting production speed or costs.
Additionally, converters can tackle one of the most cost-sensitive aspects of packaging production, ink consumption, with PRESS MATCHER‘s INK SAVER module. By using additional black ink to replace CMY inks using its proprietary colour management software, this technology can significantly reduce ink consumption.
Ready for the Future of Packaging at interpack 2026
SCREEN’s exhibition at interpack 2026 reflects the same forces that drives its technology development and the wider packaging converting sector: using advanced solutions, automation, and connectivity to help converters remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
