Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY

Italian company FOSBER, a global pioneer in innovative corrugating machinery, has announced a strategic part- nership with FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions, a divi- sion of FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc., a leading global inkjet solu- tion provider. This alliance brings together FOSBER’s industry-lead- ing expertise and Fujifilm’s cutting-edge range of print- bars, seamlessly integrated into FOSBER’s state-of-the-art digital imprinting solution. The collaboration marks a sig- nificant step forward in enhancing print quality, operation- al flexibility, and sustainability for the corrugated packag- ing sector. Marco Bertola, CEO of FOSBER GROUP, remarked, “There is a strong market demand for innovations that re- duce environmental impact without compromising quality or flexibility. Collaborating with Fujifilm allows us to deliver advanced digital imprinting technologies that drive sus- tainability, creativity, and operational excellence across the corrugated packaging industry.” Corrugated board packaging is undergoing a funda- mental transformation—evolving conventional package printing to become a versatile personalization carrier that empowers brand storytelling, enhances consumer engagement, and enables comprehensive value chain transparency through dynamic QR codes and other ma- chine-readable elements. Ankur Mour, Vice President and General Manager of FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions, noted, “Our partner- ship with FOSBER adds a powerful new dimension to in- dustrial-scale digital printing. The precision and efficiency of our printbars make them an ideal solution for corrugat- ed packaging manufacturers.” Key benefits of the FOSBER digital imprinting solution in- clude rapid job changes and fast turnaround, serialization and personalization options, on-demand printing capabil- ities, and it supports regulatory requirements such as the EU Packaging Waste Directive: The integration of Fujifilm’s printbars with FOSBER’s corrugated machinery provides print resolutions up to 1,200 dpi and print speed up to 300 meters per minute. These printbars provide the performance needed for high volume printing, delivering crisp high-fidelity images es- sential for branding, serialization, and traceability on cor- rugated substrates. This digital process supports versatile production runs, from mass production to on-demand cus- tom orders. The transition from conventional analog printing to FOSBER’s digital imprinting solution means turnaround efficiency as well as reductions in waste and material con- sumption. By removing the dependency on plates, films, and foils, FOSBER, with Fujifilm printbar technology, offers an eco-friendly, cost-effective pathway toward sustainable packaging production to customers.
