Esko invites you to their event
About this event
Converters are under pressure to deliver more job variety, faster turnaround, greater transparency, and uncompromising quality, often with limited specialist resources. This 45-minute pre-LOUPE webinar explores why traditional, disconnected ways of working are no longer enough and how packaging operations can move toward a more connected, digitized, and orchestrated job lifecycle.
Attendees will hear how external pressures such as customer expectations, cost constraints, sustainability requirements, traceability, and regulation are reshaping the way labels and packaging teams work. The session will show why optimizing individual tasks is not sufficient when information, decisions, and quality checks remain fragmented across systems.
At the core of this transformation is the S2 platform, enabling a streamlined, connected, and transparent process from customer onboarding through press-ready files. With WebCenter Pack orchestrating and managing the workflow, packaging teams can eliminate bottlenecks, improve collaboration, and ensure that critical information flows seamlessly across people and systems.
Building on that foundation, LOUPE 2026 will introduce three innovations that further advance the connected packaging workflow. Attendees will get an early look at the WebCenter Pack Customer Portal, which simplifies and enhances customer collaboration; the AI Assistant, embedded within the upload and customer portal experience to provide faster access to job information and reduce manual effort; and the Verify Compare integration with WebCenter Pack, which brings automated quality control directly into the workflow to improve visibility, consistency, and confidence before production.
