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 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 for maximum protection during transport. Fit-to-product designs minimize material waste, optimize logistics, and 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 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.
BOBST flexo printing machines have been at the forefront of this movement, with the development of high precision feeding, vacuum sheet transport, highly effective inking and drying systems, and intelligent register control systems, allied to high running speeds.
