Next-Gen Multi Purpose Header Cards

In 2024, the technology for multi purpose header cards is advancing rapidly. Here are some new facts and trends to note:

Digital Printing Advancements

High-speed inkjet printing is transforming how header cards are produced. Brands like Fujifilm’s J Press 1160 CFG and Epson’s EcoTank Pro ET-5150 offer fast, high-quality prints. They can achieve speeds of up to 80 metres per minute and 17 pages per minute, respectively. This makes it easier and more cost-effective for businesses to create high-quality header cards quickly​.

Eco-Friendly Inks

The focus on sustainability is growing. Companies are increasingly using green inks, like soy-based and water-based inks. These inks help reduce the environmental impact of printing.

Smart Packaging Technologies

The integration of IoT in packaging is on the rise. Header cards now often include features like QR codes and NFC tags. These allow consumers to access interactive content and product information directly from their smartphones, enhancing engagement​.

3D Printing Innovations

3D printing is opening new possibilities in packaging design. This technology enables the creation of intricate and customisable header card designs, offering unique shapes and features that were not possible before​.

AI in Print Workflow

Artificial intelligence is streamlining print workflows. It automates processes and enhances efficiency, resulting in faster turnaround times and fewer errors in production. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with high-volume needs.

Real-World Applications

Multi purpose header cards are useful in many industries:

Retail

They make products like sweets, cosmetics, and handmade items more visible. Companies like Aura Print say that using customised packaging helps them sell more.

Food Packaging

Header cards give a professional look to snacks. Multi purpose header cards are a smart choice for food businesses.

Gifts
