get the competitive edge

Printed electronics products offer many new possibilities because they can be flexible, stretchable, low cost enough to be disposable, improve existing electronics such as displays, be integrated with fabrics, are more environmental, and improve safety and much more...

For the first time, cheap electronic features enhance products such as packaging, blister packs, bill board posters and clothing. Over 3000 global organizations are developing the technology and now radical new products have emerged.
