The schedule for industrial change has been set by the Chinese government with its “Made in China 2025” strategy which relates to China’s 13th five-year plan for innovation-driven modernization of Chinese industry. The digital change affecting print and packaging companies has already begun with the increased merging of smart manufacturing and production thereby opening up huge market potential for the digital printing industry (cloud computing, big data,  mobile Internet technology, etc.).
