Bobst Showcases Application-Driven Demonstrations
The new module also offers the ability to print digitally on the glue-side and the liner, opening the doors to higher-margin niches and helping converters respond easily to rapidly changing market dynamics.
With Bobst Flexjet, converters can use the full power of digital printing – shorter runs, faster turnaround, infinite SKU variation, and versioning – while simplifying traditional multistep workflows.
The new Flexjet module, currently equipped with one black printbar, is powered by Bobst Inkjet Technology with 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution delivered at full process speed thanks to Fujifilm Dimatix Samba printhead technology.
Patrick Graber, marketing director, PL Labels, said: “We’re seeing significant growth in the demand for multilayer applications driven by a large number of factors – sustainability and regulatory requirements including product information, nutritional values, and warnings in multiple languages, or for adding promotional content and interactive features.”
Bobst has also introduced a new partnership with Belgian consultancy firm Co-ëfficiënt with the aim to deliver best-in-class process optimization.
Co-ëfficiënt helps converters and printers improve their production processes across the entire production plant to increase profitability by reducing set-up costs, enhancing OEE, improving colour quality, and promoting sustainable practices.
