The two companies said that the new collaboration would integrate Hybrid’s Packz software, which offers full PDF support, into Highcon’s digital die-cutting workflow package (DWP).
They said the partnership aimed to deliver more streamlined processes, increased precision and enhanced workflow integration to support operators across production sites.
At the core of the collaboration is a custom-designed version of the Packz engine for Highcon, introducing a fully integrated PDF workflow tailored for the digital die-cutting process.
By advancing artwork handling, high-quality previews, and automated XML export capabilities, the two companies said the collaboration would enable packaging converters to seamlessly integrate Highcon’s digital products into their workflows, simplifying setup while accelerating production timelines.
“Our partnership with Highcon is all about empowering the packaging industry,” said Bert Van der Perre, chief commercial officer at Hybrid Software.
“Finishing is a vital step in packaging production, and this collaboration streamlines the process, delivering greater efficiency and precision for our customers.”
Haim Veig, VP product at Highcon, said: “With Highcon’s digital die-cutting systems deployed worldwide, this collaboration with Hybrid Software enables production teams to achieve faster setups and top-quality output. Together, we’re optimising production workflows for digital die-cutting.”
