The facility, dedicated to serving cus- tomers in the label and flexible packaging sector, show- cases flexo, digital and All-in-One printing and services solutions and provides opportunities for learning, collab- oration and innovation. The Open House will demonstrate how to simplify label production based on Bobst’s industry vision in shaping the future of the packaging world with focus on its core pillars of connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability. A main focus will be the cloud-based digital platform Bobst Connect that enables users to have a complete overview of their production process, from the PDF to the finished product. At the event, guests will witness live, end-to-end pro- duction on the DIGITAL MASTER 340, an All-in-One mod- ular platform. They’ll also observe label production on the DIGITAL EXPERT 340, a roll-to-roll UV inkjet press, as well as flexible packaging production for short runs on the highly automated MASTER M6 flexo press. The All-in-One label production concept, which inte- grates printing, finishing, die-cutting, and quality control in a single pass, will be demonstrated.

ity at this present time, mastering the intricacies of pack- aging sustainability and fortifying packaging solutions for the future has never been more essential. Although many companies have already made voluntary commitments to targets, such as using 100 percent recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging, deciding the best way to achieve these goals can be challenging. UPM Raflatac’s new guide explains how by designing for recyclability, businesses can potentially avoid or re- duce Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, making the switch to recyclable materials an even more attractive prospect. The UPM Raflatac Packaging Recyclability Guide de- tails the SmartCircle label materials that are recycling compatible in different recycling streams and offers ad- vice on how to make decisions that align with the current guidelines.
