Drupa 2024: Hubergroup to showcase product innovation

"Our mission goes far beyond the production of printing inks and chemicals. We are doing pioneering work for the future of food packaging: sustainable, innovative, and efficient. As an innovation partner, we are committed to holistically driving success in packaging printing. At our events and stands, every visitor can form their own impression and connect with us, as it is part of our mission to be in close dialogue with our clients and develop joint solutions," said Konstantin Schmidtke, director, business development and global key account management, Hubergroup. 

Thomas Polster, manager, business development, brand owner and global key account manager, Hubergroup, will kick off four Hubergroup events with a panel discussion on the future of flexible paper packaging. 

He will discuss the opportunities and challenges of flexible paper packaging printed in web offset, its performance features and design options with brand owners, paper and printing press manufacturers, printers and packagers. 

The second Hubergroup event is the presentation by Korbinian Steigenberger, junior product manager, on the topic, Inside the box - direct food contact.

Steigenberger will talk about the special features of DFC with printing inks and coatings, as well as the regulatory requirements. He will present new opportunities for brand owners to make their packaging design attractive and at the same time meet the demand for more sustainable packaging with the use of DFC inks and coatings. 

At the third hubergroup event, Patrick Hübel, director, global product and colour management, Hubergroup, will present the licensed Hubergroup Digital Colour Communication (HDCC) system. The presentation will show how modern software solutions can be used to precisely capture, digitise and seamlessly exchange colour specifications for higher quality, speed and efficiency. 

Hübel will be presenting a way to create the visualisation of colour templates digitally. 

At the fourth event, Dr Lars Hancke, manager, business development, flexible packaging at Hubergroup, will present recyclable printing ink solutions. 

Dr Hancke will shed light on the role of printing inks in material recycling, as standard printing ink systems for packaging printing need to be re-evaluated against the background of new recycling guidelines.
