Abstract
Printed functionality means adding new functionalities into flexible
substrates like paper or plastic by using printing methods. It has been the
scope of this study to define innovative new applications of printed
functionality, to study the required technology and to create business models
for these applications. Special attention has been paid to the new role of
conventional printing plants in the value chain on printed functionality.
Roadmaps were created for the different technologies for printed
functionality. Business model for the additional services available through
printed functionality are complex because of the variety of earning logics and
the number of players in the value chain. Each player has the opportunity to
overtake new roles and functions.
New applications of printed functionality were innovated in brainstorming
seminars. Some of them were tested in pilot scale, business models were
created for them, and they were also analysed regarding environmental aspects
and usability.
