Abstract: It is expected that the global value across all print and printed packaging will reach $843 billion in 2026. This increase is a result of the pandemic-induced negative disruption in 2020. The packaging market has a growing share in it [1]. In Industry 4.0, the manpower, machinery, and printing processes are in the network digitally [2]. Accurate and precise data control is crucial for production, and digital twins are essential tools for enhancing overall efficiency and sustainability. Digital twins are connected from sensors to cloud-based software, which can be accessed by all stakeholders, including manufacturers, intermediate supply chain managers, wholesale clients, and end-use customers. Therefore, digital twins play a crucial role in Industry 4.0. In the print and packaging industry, due to increased automation, investments in plant and machinery are growing, but customers expect cost reductions with an emphasis on quality and sustainability measures. The order quantities are decreasing, and demand for short-run, customised products is increasing. Customers expect printing companies to follow international standards diligently. There are several benefits of digital twins in the printing and packaging industry, which result in saving time, manpower, and cost, thereby reducing the adverse impact on the environment in terms of effluents and power usage, and increasing overall equipment efficiency and sustainability.
