The flexible packaging market was valued over USD 300 billion in 2025 and is still rapidly growing. Driven by a demand for convenience and lightweight packaging material, the market is expanding due to an increased usage in food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care sectors.
This rising popularity is due to certain growth drivers which include convenience and lifestyle, cost efficiency, and e-commerce expansion. Amid all of this, is AVNFLEX – an innovative, flexible packaging provider that offers a variety of pouches – including the digital print pouch.
The digital print pouch is versatile and excellent for branding, this pouch is good for many types of products. The pouch’s features include high definition printing and the company offers a print on demand feature. It’s great for small batch production, such as product launches. This pouch combines quality, customization, and efficiency.
What Are Digital Print Pouches?
Digital print pouches are flexible and customisable packaging solutions that use high-resolution digital technology to apply graphics directly onto materials. That includes plastic, foil, and paper. They are usually fast to make, cost-effective, and high quality. They are perfect for short-to-medium runs, personalised designs, and product launches where time is a constraint.
Digital print pouches differ from traditional rotogravure and flexographic methods by removing physical printing plates and cylinders. While rotogravure is best for massive volumes and the flexographic method offers a balance for medium to large runs, digital printing is the best for short-run, high variability projects.
Key Characteristics of Digital Print Pouches
Short to medium run suitability – These print directly from a digital file and require zero plates or cylinders. That makes it highly cost-effective for short runs and medium batches. This is the type of pouch to use when there are low MOQs.
High resolution graphics – If you want high resolution and vibrant image quality, this is a good option. It’s better than flexographic printing but not as specific as the rotogravure method.
Faster Turn-Around-Times – This offers quick, on-the-fly design changes and allows brands to update artwork and batches without extra costs.
Why Are Brands Choosing Digital Print Pouches?
Customisation and Personalisation
Are you looking for a specific pattern or design to put on your packaging? If so then you’ll want to go with digital printing pouches as they offer a high level of customisation.
Faster Product Launches
Quick TATs mean faster product launches. This is because no cylinders or plates are required. That makes the production process faster, which reduces time to market.
Reduced Inventory Risk
Businesses can start with a few pieces, which make it possible for low MOQs. Then there is an elimination of unnecessary stock. There are also rapid TATs, you can print multiple SKUs in one run, and since there will be less physical inventory, there are reduces carrying costs.
