What effect can you make?

Scodix SENSE™ digital enhancement printing allows print service providers (PSPs), folding carton converters, designers and brand owners to turn ordinary products and applications into extraordinary creations.

By applying Scodix SENSE™, produced by Scodix Digital Enhancement Presses you can produce highly differentiated premium products, in-house, without sending work out for lamination, embossing, hot foil, or other embellishments. The added value of these digitally enhanced products means premium pricing can be charged, even for short runs – translating into higher profitability for the business.
