Upgrades

Your machine has more to give. Our upgrades help you unlock it—boosting performance, cutting waste, and keeping your production competitive for years to come.

More Machine. Less Compromise. 

Brand owners constantly evolve their packaging, which means converters can never afford to stand still. BOBST upgrades and enhancements bring your machine to the latest standards, adding features, boosting performance, and extending lifespan without the cost of full replacement.

With over 10,000 standardized upgrades available—and the ability to customize based on your machine’s configuration, age, and condition—there’s a BOBST solution for virtually every challenge. 

Where Can an Upgrade Take You? 

Every upgrade addresses a real production challenge. Here’s where we can help: 

Productivity — Increase throughput, reduce changeover times, and improve automation to win on every shift. 

Quality — Tighten tolerances, improve register control, and eliminate the variables that cost you rejects and rework. 

Sustainability — Cut power consumption, reduce waste, and meet the environmental standards your customers increasingly demand. One sustainability upgrade delivers electricity savings starting at 12% and potentially more.

Safety — Protect your workforce, reduce insurance exposure, lower employee turnover, and maintain compliance without disrupting output. 

Availability & Lifecycle — Keep critical systems supported, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend the productive life of your assets.

In the past, our machine operators always had to keep an eye on the color register. Nowadays, they can devote that time to other aspects of the process. The Registron® S6100-D does the complete job—you can rely on it. With the new register control system, we achieve significantly higher stability in printing.
