Aseptic carton packaging supplier Sig has invested in new digital printing technology for aseptic carton packs manufactured in Europe.

The new solution, the RotaJET 168 digital printing machine built by Koenig & Bauer, enables full-colour digital printing on SIG carton packs without cylinders or printing forms.

According to the company, the solution will provide the flexibility and agility required to address customer demands in the growing food and beverage industry.

The new digital printing technology will be installed at Sig’s production facility in Linnich, Germany, with commercial production slated for the second half of 2023.
