Summary - Printed Packaging Summit 2026 Webinar

This webinar will be held by Jan De Roeck, Marketing Director, Industry Relations and Strategy at Esko.

THIS WEBINAR IS FREE TO ATTEND!

Packaging converters and their brand customers are being challenged from every direction: shorter runs and lead times, more SKUs, skills shortages, increasing regulatory and sustainability requirements, and relentless margin pressure. Meeting these challenges requires more than incremental improvements. It calls for a different way of working across the supply chain.

AI is opening that door. This presentation explores how Esko is embedding AI-driven intelligence across the packaging production process, helping converters reduce manual touchpoints, simplify complex tasks and move from expert-driven tools toward AI-guided packaging execution. Through practical examples in planning, quality control, prepress, structural design and job onboarding, discover what AI can mean for the packaging supply chain of tomorrow.

What will you learn?

Why today's market pressures require new ways of working.
Where AI can create practical value.
How AI can help reduce manual intervention and make complex packaging operations more accessible and scalable.

Jan will bring this webinar as a teaser to the actual event in Cologne with an overview of AI capabilitites without going into depth. At the event in Cologne, Jan and Lee Metters (Domino) will host an entire agenda session on AI including a panel discussion and Q&A.
