This study represents a pioneering initiative in the printing industry, especially in Poland, which assessed the environmental impacts and eco-efficiency of proof printing through the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. The process of proof printing on a target substrate was compared with the traditional hard proofing process, which requires t...

Printing as a process itself generates many environmental concerns. The paper addresses ink management in terms of environmental issues in the label printing industry, focusing on its environmental implications. The goal is to demonstrate how a proper ink management system impacts overall printing process efficiency and environmental sustainability...

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) became an important paradigm to bridge the gap between technologies and humans. The paper aims to diagnose sustainability performance and I4.0 maturity in Poland's printing and packaging sector and identify research areas where further actions for improvements are necessary. This article adopts a mixed-method study combining in-...

Printing as a process itself generates many environmental concerns. The paper presents the subject matter of ink management in terms of environmental issues in the label printing industry. The goal of this paper is to present how a proper ink management system has an impact on the overall printing process efficiency for environmental sustainability...

Growing concern for Industry 4.0 (I4.0) motivates to examine I4.0 technologies under the lens of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the context of digital technologies. The goal of the paper is to align SDGs with selected I4.0 technologies to conceptualize a digital business model for printing and packaging companies. In this perspective, a co...

The transformation trend towards digital technology to achieve sustainability targets and meet legal regulations has been visible in many industries. The printing sector has already been increasingly boosting sustainability performance through digitalization to automate workflows of processes. The goal of this paper is to initially diagnose a susta...

In manufacturing practices of most big printing companies there are collected data and records of process parameters. Gathering information from this data in form of developed models and rules such as data mining, which uses statistical methods or Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Neural Networks, Decision Trees, Expert Systems, and others are su...

Proces nawijania zwoju etykiet w formie rękawa jest niewątpliwie trudnym zadaniem, głównie ze względu na fakt, iż na roli nawijany jest zwój rękawa, a nie płaska wstęga. To z kolei niesie za ze sobą konieczność zastosowania specjalnego sposobu nawijania zwoju etykiet. Dodając do tego pewną liczbę zmiennych niezależnych, mających wpływ na jakość pro...

This paper describes how developed models of data mining tools can be used for the prediction of initial tension parameters and winding speed for each new design of shrink sleeve labels. The aim of this paper is to choose significant factors and build a model in the learning process using the collected data. The model can be used for prediction of...

Artykuł ma charakter teoretyczno – badawczy. Przedmiotem rozważań teoretycznych są zagadnienia związane z kierunkami doskonalenia współczesnych organizacji oraz problematyka doskonalenia jakości w przemyśle opakowaniowym. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie problematyki jakości w kontekście zarządzania reklamacjami i wie-dzy jaka dzięki temu jest pozy...

Prior research on the application of artificial neural network in order to attempt for predic-tion initial winding parameters of the shrink sleeve labels brought a positive effect, hypothe-ses were verified and confirmed (Krystosiak 2015). Conducted research has shown that arti-ficial neural network found dependences occurring in process. In the ne...

The paper presents subject matter of ink logistics management in modern label printing house. Presented logistics concept in terms of issues to ensure the right amount of ink in printing process. Presented contemporary approach to the management of components for the production of labels and packaging, using automatic ink dispensing systems in comp...

The paper presents subject matter of data mining with Artificial Neural Networks using (ANN). Practical implications arise from the conducting of research and ANN modeling based on historical data in a selected packaging company and analyzing of results. The es-sence of the data mining method using was to determine is that method is able to find ve...
