Poll 1<br />
Does your organisation have to deal with small<br />
production batches or high packaging complexity?<br />
1. Production is around small volumes and complexity is high<br />
2. Small, medium/large volume production, complexity is mixed<br />
3. Only run large volume production so complexity is low<br />
4. None of the above options fit our production.
On-Line printing increases flexibility<br />
On demand printing technology from Hapa allows<br />
easy addition of unit dose codes, or serialised data<br />
for anti counterfeiting purposes.<br />
Covert features such as RFID printing or invisible<br />
codes are also possible<br />
The trend toward small batch sizes has resulted in<br />
a huge increase in SKU’s making stock control<br />
very difficult to manage. On-line printing<br />
eliminates this complexity since country or market<br />
specific packaging can be printed at the last<br />
moment on blank material. Furthermore, printed<br />
stock is reduced to the minimum.
On-Line printing increases speed<br />
Frequent line changeovers and lengthy line<br />
clearance procedures result in poor utilisation of<br />
production equipment. Hapa technology is able to<br />
customize a product at the last moment ‘late stage<br />
customization’ and add the final flexibility required<br />
for your lean production process.<br />
The internet is driving customers to expect<br />
information and goods on demand. A newly<br />
approved product can benefit greatly from a faster<br />
release. With Hapa technology, you can produce<br />
packaging when required and speed up your time<br />
to market significantly.
On-Line printing reduces complexity<br />
With frequent line changeovers comes the<br />
necessity to reconcile packaging which is both<br />
time consuming and costly. With On-Line printing,<br />
the packaging material is blank and can be used<br />
for multiple presentations. Auditing of suppliers is<br />
also greatly reduced.<br />
Suppliers of packaging materials have minimum<br />
order size requirements. This can result in the<br />
need to stock more material than you need. With<br />
On-Line printing, you print exactly the amount<br />
required. Small runs for marketing purposes are<br />
easily accommodated.
On-Line printing reduces costs<br />
Most businesses today are looking for<br />
opportunities to reduce costs and improve<br />
efficiency. Hapa is the perfect compliment in<br />
helping you reach these targets. Switching from<br />
pre printed to an On-line printed concept can<br />
reduce costs by 80%.<br />
The benefits associated with in line printing and<br />
the low cost of ownership, quickly produce a return<br />
on investment. A detailed ROI calculation can be<br />
made in combination with a short questionnaire.
On-Line printing is secure and better<br />
for the environment<br />
Packaging security requirements are not new, but<br />
with Hapa you take control of your security.<br />
Packaging mix ups due to errors by your suppliers<br />
are eliminated.<br />
Meeting targets to reduce packaging waste is<br />
difficult for companies with high packaging<br />
complexity. With a Hapa, it is easy! Printing<br />
packaging on demand means no inventory<br />
obsolescence and no waste is produced. This is<br />
good for our environment, reduces costs and<br />
pleases shareholders.

What is <strong>Late</strong> stage customization<br />
_<strong>Late</strong> <strong>Stage</strong> <strong>Customization</strong> is the customization of<br />
semi finished goods at the last moment before<br />
shipment.<br />
_In recent years, technology has become available<br />
to print directly onto the packaging and this has<br />
opened up new opportunities for example for<br />
blister packs.
