Abstract
A digital printing process for printing an image (I) including a white area (W) and/or a coloured area (C) on a packaging material includes selecting a packaging material with a substantially white side, and preparing print data to be sent to a printing means taking into account that the side of the packaging material is substantially white. The print data represents one or more first image areas (A) representing the image (I), and one or more second image areas (A) representing a packaging look (L), to be printed on the substantially white side of the packaging material, outside the one or more first image areas (A) where the image (I) is to be located. The method further includes printing by the printing means on the substantially white side of the packaging material using the print data.
