According to Pat Reynolds' February 2019 article, few brand owners are as passionate about the potential for digital printing and finishing as Philip Morris, which has installed its own digital printing and converting line for folding cartons.

Sometimes a Consumer Packaged Goods company finds an emerging trend in packaging so appealing that management refuses to wait for the supplier community to fully develop the technologies that will make it possible to capitalize on that trend.
