Check out a teaser of Horizon Packaging products. Horizon is demonstrating a new product at Interpack 2023 in Germany. You can get a preview look at what’s new in the video below. Print finishing and packaging have always had a lot of interplay. Expanding into the packaging market is an inevitable growth pattern for anyone investing in finishing.

Horizon Packaging Video
In the showcased video, Horizon shows us a processing sequence for a coffee bag. The machine starts its job by automatically building stacks of custom product. Then an AMR robotic arm takes the stacks and neatly packages them into cartons. Transforming production steps like this through automation enhances a basic job and creates new advantages for producers. Innovation in automation puts providers capable of high volume into prime position for high value contracts.
Given this context, it seems only natural to me that we would see Horizon develop packaging equipment. Packaging is a common next step after a die cutting line. The RD-N4055DMC has become a market favorite. This popularity has led many other manufacturers to produce copies or variations of this style of machine. The packaging sector has been growing much faster than other sectors. Customers who demand high quality, unique, and functional packacging are drive this process. That category of customer will purchase in these high value pricing categories.
Automated Packaging Equipment
Horizon packaging is getting smart. Efforts to reduce waste, shrink packaging, and optimize efficiency all have large impacts. Being able to efficiently handle large volumes of packaging products in an efficient and automated way helps. It reduces production costs and increase profits. The customer benefits by spending less on packaging and freight. The community at large benefits from having a greener process.
The alpha demo of Horizon packaging equipment is a prototype and highly functional as a testing unit. It might be tailored to meet the requirements of a broad range of applications. If you have a custom project or an idea for something consider discussing it with one of our expert consultants to find out how difficult it actually is. You might be surprised!
