🏆 Are your processes award-worthy?

Last year, Andreas Wilke and the Wilke Mediengruppe team were honoured as Crossmedia Service Provider of the Year at the Druck & Medien Awards – a powerful validation of their operational excellence.

Yet many print and packaging companies still miss the opportunity to benchmark their performance against the industry's best.

That's why the new Smart Factory category matters. Companies advancing autonomous production, connected workflows and intelligent automation are defining the next industry benchmark. ⚙️

Don’t miss your chance to leverage this platform. Submit your application by the 29 June deadline.

How do you build a genuine customer connection when screens dominate every waking second?

In an era of deepfakes and endless digital noise, physical print is a vital anchor for brands. It offers tactile trust, substance and a clear signal of appreciation that pixels alone simply cannot match. This is not about choosing print over digital. It is about how both channels work together to reach people. 🤝

We asked four of our PDC partners to get their take on why this convention is a must-attend event for the industry. The industry leaders Oliver Curdt (VDM Nord-West), Claudia Josephs (epda), Martin Groß-Albenhausen (bevh) and Margarete Bohnen (Marketing Club Düsseldorf) explain how cross-channel collaboration, smart packaging and AI are reshaping the landscape.

Closing the loop starts on the shopfloor. ♻️

In waste extraction for print and converting, the challenge is not the technology itself, but the waste. As Lasse Kjaer Bastholm of Lundberg Tech notes, the priority is to handle waste better, automate the process, and increase efficiency so that materials can be reused, reduced, and recycled. This involves transitioning from manual solutions to integrated extraction systems that capture edge trim and matrix waste at the source, transport and compress it, reduce unplanned stoppages and enhance safety, while generating cleaner streams for effective recycling.

Printers and converters should treat waste extraction as a workflow decision rather than an end-of-line task. Specify solutions that integrate with press and finishing lines, provide data on volumes and uptime, and facilitate material recovery.

How are you automating waste extraction today, and what results are you seeing?

Every digital pixel is fighting a losing battle against the raw impact of physical space. This "Physicality Premium" is a neurological response to digital saturation. Direct-to-Wall systems reclaim sensory attention by merging high-fidelity graphics with architecture 🎨.

Printing directly onto masonry removes the environmental friction of PVC 🌿. Sensor-driven print heads adjust for irregularities, ensuring industrial precision on raw concrete. This creates "Dopamine Decor" that teams repaint in days to match shrinking campaign cycles ⚙️.
