Industry trends
Sustainable corrugated packaging for construction materials
The building and construction industry is embracing eco-friendly corrugated packaging to reduce environmental impact. Recyclable materials, water-based inks, and plastic-free designs are becoming standard, aligning with sustainability goals and green building certifications.
Heavy-duty protection and efficiency
Corrugated packaging for construction products focuses on strength and durability. Multi-wall corrugated boards and reinforced designs help ensure safe transport of heavy or fragile materials such as tiles, flooring, and fixtures.
Advanced barriers and coatings protect against moisture and corrosion. Fit-to-product solutions minimize waste and optimize logistics for bulk shipments.
Branding and smart features
Beyond protection, corrugated packaging is now a branding tool. High-quality printing allows clear product information and logos, while QR codes and smart labels improve traceability and inventory management.
These innovations enhance supply chain efficiency and customer confidence.

BOBST expertise & knowledge
In recent years, new prepress systems, doctor blade chambers, inks, inking systems, and anilox rolls have driven growth in high-quality graphics printing. As a result, flexographic presses can now compete with gravure and litho machines in fiber-board packaging.
BOBST flexo printing machines have been at the forefront of this movement, with high-precision feeding, vacuum sheet transport, effective inking and drying systems, intelligent register control, and high running speeds.
