COMPETENCE 18, this year’s Open House event at Bobst, which took place June 5-8, 2018 at the Compe- tence Center of Bobst Mex, Switzerland, attracted more than 600 visitors. The show promised to show the “Solutions for the challenge of tomorrow,” ad- dressing key trends facing packaging converters, such as the need for shorter runs, greater versatility, e-commerce and constant innovation. Live Demos Attendees were able to see live demonstrations of selected key Bobst machines, and to hear from Bobst Services on some new developments. Highlights included the live demonstration of fold- er-gluer EXPERTFOLD 165 with the automated pack- er SPEEDPACK. There were live demonstrations of MASTERCUT 106 PER and MASTERCUT 145 PER. In addition, attendees had the chance to see EX- PERTFOIL 142 in action, as well as the MASTERFOLD 230. On the printing side of things, a static module of M8 LEMANIC inline flexo printing press was avail- able at the event. With printing samples available at the event, there were many questions from converters about the sim- plicity of the flexo process vs. offset, and how it is possible to achieve the print quality on display. Visi- tors were reportedly impressed by the sheer ease of using flexo technology compared with offset, and the greater consistency in the end result.
