Industry trends
Eco-friendly corrugated packaging for industrial equipment
Sustainability is a major trend in industrial packaging. Manufacturers are adopting recyclable corrugated boxes, water-based inks, and plastic-free designs to meet environmental standards and reduce their carbon footprint.
These solutions align with corporate sustainability goals and global regulations.
Heavy-duty protection and custom engineering
Industrial equipment requires high-strength corrugated packaging, with multi-wall boards and custom inserts that protect products in transport. Fit-to-product designs minimize material waste, optimize logistics, and help ensure safe delivery of heavy or sensitive machinery.
Smart features and branding opportunities
Corrugated packaging is evolving beyond protection. High-quality printing enables clear branding and technical information, while QR codes, RFID tags, and IoT sensors improve traceability and inventory management.
These smart features 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.
