Exceptionally productive label & flexible packaging press
The MASTER M6 is designed for the foremost flexibility to print labels, flexible packaging and folding carton. The monitoring systems it can be fitted with, guarantee the health and safety of food packaging applications. The press is equipped with DigiFlexo automation and oneECG technology delivering non-stop production through a centralized fully digitalized press operation.
Key benefits
All run lengths, all applications, all industries
- The press handles all types of substrates used to produce labels, flexible packaging or folding carton
- Multi-process, product enhancing and inline finishing applications
- Outstanding print quality and color consistency and repeatability
Highly productive
- DigiFlexo for full digital register and pressure controls
- Extremely short set-up time and minimal waste
- Excellence solutions enabling automatic sleeves exchange without stopping the press
Outstanding solution for food packaging
- Exclusive total traceability system for food packaging applications with UV Track. The UV emission is monitored while the press is running, certifying the whole printing process. This opens up new opportunities for UV-printed food packaging production.

- Infinite flower flexo head for controlling print density changes at speed variations, monitoring ink temperature
- Snowball lite and bambi technologies for high-speed waste matrix rewinding with difficult materials and/or label shapes, available only if a die-cut is present on the press.
UV track solution for food packaging
Exclusive total traceability system for food packaging applications. The UV emission is monitored while the press is running with certification of the whole printing process. This opens new opportunities for UV printed food packaging production. Compared to solvent and water-based inks, UV inks achieve higher print quality and color consistency combined with the absence of vocs (volatile organic compounds), improving ink stability and sustainability.
Suitable for printing on oneBARRIER FibreCycle
- Mono-material high barrier paper-based flexible packaging
- Suitable for food applications
- High fiber content to support recyclability
- An easy solution for a label converter to step into flexible packaging
The strategic partnership with BOBST, with the implementation of oneECG, has revolutionized our production, making short runs economically viable and enhancing our capabilities.
