Sustainable corrugated packaging for fresh food
Sustainability is driving innovation in fresh food packaging. Brands are adopting recyclable corrugated boxes, compostable liners, and plastic-free solutions to reduce environmental impact.
Lightweight designs and water-based inks further support eco-friendly practices.
Temperature control and e-commerce adaptation
With the rise of online grocery shopping, insulated corrugated packaging and moisture-resistant coatings help preserve product freshness during transit. Fit-to-product designs minimize waste and optimize shipping efficiency, making corrugated packaging well suited to direct-to-consumer delivery.
Smart and branded packaging solutions
Fresh food corrugated packaging is becoming a marketing tool. High-quality digital printing enables vibrant branding and QR codes for traceability and consumer engagement.
Smart features such as freshness indicators and interactive labels enhance trust and create a premium unboxing experience.

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.
