Industry Trends
Sustainable Corrugated Packaging for Construction Materials
The building and construction industry is embracing eco-friendly corrugated packaging to reduce environmental impact. Recyclable materials, water-based inks, and plastic-free designs are becoming standard, aligning with sustainability goals and green building certifications.
Heavy-Duty Protection and Efficiency
Corrugated packaging for construction products focuses on strength and durability. Multi-wall corrugated boards and reinforced designs ensure safe transport of heavy or fragile materials like tiles, flooring, and fixtures. Advanced barriers and coatings protect against moisture and corrosion. Fit-to-product solutions minimize waste and optimize logistics for bulk shipments.
Branding and Smart Features
Beyond protection, corrugated packaging is now a branding tool. High-quality printing allows clear product information and logos, while QR codes and smart labels improve traceability and inventory management. These innovations enhance supply chain efficiency and customer confidence.

BOBST Expertise & knowledge
In recent years the development of new pre-press systems, doctor blade chambers, inks, inking systems, and anilox rolls has led to a growth in high quality graphics printing, allowing flexographic printing presses to compete against gravure and litho machines when it comes to the manufacture of fiber-board packaging.
