BOBST demonstrates the future of flexible packaging production at groundbreaking virtual Open House event
January 27, 2021BOBST hosted a unique virtual event from its state-of-the-art Competence Centers in Bielefeld, Germany and San Giorgio Monferrato, Italy, which enabled attendees to see the future of flexible packaging production from the comfort of their own homes.
The ‘Innovation in Flexible Packaging’ event on 20th January dedicated
to CI flexo printing and laminating technologies featured keynote speakers
including the CEO of BOBST, Jean-Pascal Bobst, and live demonstrations of three
innovative products that are helping to shape the future of the CI flexo
industry.
Valuable insights into the evolving requirements and outlook for the future in
different segments of the flexible packaging industry were shared by three
major converting companies with operations in Europe and the USA.
“We are driving the future of flexible packaging production around four key elements – connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability,” said Jean-Pascal Bobst. “Even before the events of 2020, we were living in a world where much better agility and sustainability were required, particularly in flexible packaging. Now these needs have increased even further. We are answering these needs by fundamentally shaping the future of the packaging world, and there is no better example of that commitment than our latest products in CI flexo and lamination.”
The three machines on show at the Open House event were the VISION CI flexo press, the solventless NOVA SX 550 LAMINATOR and the MASTER CI flexo press. Attendees were able to see live demonstrations of each machine.
The VISION CI is designed to deliver the most efficient performance for all production lengths on a wide range of substrates. For converters, it ticks all the boxes, providing outstanding print quality, performance and sustainability. In a world where guarantee of quality at high speed is essential, the VISION CI delivers exactly the same consistent print and performance quality with each print reel, for any run length. Fast to setup and change over, it features technical innovations and automation that ensure repeatable process consistency, minimum waste and easy manufacturing.
