Industry trends
Premium and sustainable corrugated packaging
In the beers, wines, and spirits segment, premium corrugated packaging is trending as brands seek eco-friendly solutions that don’t compromise aesthetics.
Recyclable materials, water-based inks, and plastic-free designs are now standard, aligning with sustainability goals and consumer expectations.
Luxury branding and customization
Corrugated packaging is evolving into a luxury branding tool. High-quality digital printing enables vibrant graphics, embossing, and personalized designs that enhance shelf appeal and create memorable unboxing experiences.
Premium finishes and structural creativity help brands stand out in competitive markets.
E-commerce and protective design
With the rise of online alcohol sales, corrugated packaging must combine strength and style. Protective inserts, fit-to-product designs, and shock-resistant structures help ensure safe delivery while maintaining a premium look.
This trend supports both sustainability and functionality for direct-to-consumer shipping.

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.
