Packaging Applications Emerge As Dominant Force In Asia Pacific Commercial Printing

Packaging has solidified its status as the most influential application within Asia Pacific's commercial printing market, largely because of fast-evolving consumer product launches and frequent brand refreshes. Toppan Printing extended its packaging-related operations to include 900 newly designed templates for client-facing retail items during the first quarter of 2024. Dai Nippon Printing reported that its specialized packaging units processed 11,000 daily carton conversions for pharmaceutical products across Japan this year, reflecting the sector's zeal for safe and visually appealing boxes. A noticeable shift in packaging substrates also took place: Komori received requests for 650 eco-friendly material experiments in 2024, prompting research in alternative stock options beyond traditional paperboard. The continuous push for precise logo reproduction and color fidelity has spurred growth in specialized finishing, with 220 newly patented coating methods recorded in South Korea to enhance brand aesthetics on packaged goods.

Across the region, packaging-centric printing facilities in the commercial printing market are prioritizing faster turnaround times and adaptive workflows. In 2024 alone, 15 major printing houses in Thailand introduced augmented reality (AR) elements into 600 product labels, blending digital interactivity with printed packaging. This move aligns with brand owners seeking deeper consumer engagement. To keep pace, Fuji Xerox dedicated ten new color management labs in China to guarantee consistent branding for high-volume packaging batches. Demand from multinational firms has also intensified, as illustrated by Heidelberg's expanded client list of 85 regional brands seeking unique packaging prototypes in 2024. This packaging emphasis underscores how commercial printing now thrives on versatility and brand-oriented solutions in Asia Pacific.

Offset Lithography Printing Technology Remains The Leading Process Across Asia Pacific

Offset lithography continues to dominate Asia Pacific's commercial printing market, thanks to its high-speed output and excellent image consistency. Komori reported that its latest offset press series, launched in early 2024, has already been installed in 180 facilities across Japan and South Korea, signifying sustained trust in top-tier mechanical reliability. KBA, another prominent player, introduced a dual-feed system enabling 30,000 sheets an hour in 90 newly equipped printing plants throughout China this year. With increased investment in automated plate handling, Toppan Printing revealed that it managed 20 retooling projects in Indonesia, each designed to accelerate setup time and reduce manual oversight. These advancements highlight how offset lithography remains highly relevant for large-volume runs and intricate color tasks, such as brochures, magazines, and product catalogs.

This technology's continued prominence also resonates with cost-efficiency. In 2024, five major printer manufacturers, including Heidelberg and RMGT, collaborated to supply 400 precision rollers aimed at delivering smoother ink transfer for short-run offset jobs. Commercial printers in Singapore announced that 70% of their production lines-across 14 plants-are now using advanced offset presses designed for faster drying and minimal waste. End users in the automotive and electronics sectors of the commercial printing market have accelerated requests for catalogs, with Fuji Xerox facilitating 250 high-accuracy color calibrations for offset-printed marketing materials this year alone. This unwavering demand confirms that offset lithography's balance of longevity, throughput, and print quality keeps it a favorite method across the vibrant Asia Pacific commercial printing landscape.
