What has changed most in the printing industry?

In this instalment of the PROpulsion series, Bruno Lemay, IT and Building Manager at Produlith for the past 35 years, explains how the evolution of technology, particularly the rise of IT, has transformed the printing industry. Although ink and paper remain the foundations of the trade, innovations in pre-press and production equipment now enable greater precision and consistency, offering significant added value to customers.

The importance of choosing the right printing carton

The choice of paperboard for printing is an essential step that directly influences the quality, appearance and durability of finished products. At Produlith, experts guide customers in selecting the ideal material for their specific needs, whether for refrigerated products or pharmacy shelves. Produlith also favors FSC-certified cardboard, guaranteeing responsible, environmentally-friendly practices. The three main types of board used are SBS, elegant and premium, perfect for high-end packaging; CCNB, affordable and ecological, ideal for attractive graphic prints; and KRAFT, robust and natural, prized for its durability. The wrong choice can lead to unnecessary costs, underlining the importance of expert and appropriate selection.

The key to Produlith’s success

In this seventh capsule of the PROpulsion series, President Shawn Desmarchais highlights the cornerstone of Produlith’s success: its people. Our success is driven by the dedication of our employees, our strong communication with them, and our commitment to their growth and development. These pillars empower us to innovate and set the standard in our industry.

Women increasingly present in the printing industry

The growing presence of women in the printing industry marks a decisive turning point, as witnessed at Produlith, where leaders like Annick Garcin and Farida Belarbia are paving the way for a new generation of professionals. Since 2019, their presence as decision-makers has created a positive ripple effect, attracting more and more female talent. This evolution is accompanied by technological innovations, such as the robotized palletizer, which make factory jobs more accessible to all, thus promoting greater diversity across all operations.
