BOBST has announced a showcase of its packaging innovations at multiple events, including two open houses.
K 2022 showcase
OneBARRIER is a family of new alternative and sustainable solutions that BOBST is developing with its partners. These solutions have the potential to be transformative for the packaging industry.
OneBARRIER PrimeCycle is an EVOH-free, top-coat free solution for full PE barrier and is an alternative to metallised polyester film. As a polymer-based mono-material, it is recycle-ready while retaining excellent barrier qualities, making it a potentially groundbreaking development for sustainable packaging.
BOBST’s partners involved in oneBARRIER PrimeCycle include Dow, Michelman, Sun Chemical and Zermatt, who will all be present to demonstrate their vital contributions to this exciting development. Many other partners are involved in the overall oneBARRIER initiative.
PrimeCycle is the first of several exciting oneBARRIER solutions. Following a shift in demand in the industry for more paper-based packaging options, oneBARRIER FibreCycle has been developed as a paper-based packaging solution. oneBARRIER FibreCycle is a full paper, mono-material, recycle-ready solution created together with partners Michelman and UPM, and will also be on show.
BOBST Connect is a user-centric platform that connects converters and brand owners to a digitalised and automated workflow, giving them clear visibility and control of the production process. By linking different steps of the process, BOBST Connect improves efficiency, control and data knowledge, driving quality and productivity across the value chain.
BOBST Connect helps elements of packaging production become ‘one complete solution’ to users – from application management guidance and pre-press set up, to printing, laminating and quality control. Attendees at the Bielefeld open house (19-22 and 24-26 October) will be able to see the full chain for flexible packaging in action, with the example of two flexo presses – the VISION CI and the MASTER CI – as well as the solvent-less NOVA SX 550 laminator.
At the BOBST Manchester Open House on 18 October, attendees will have the opportunity to see the company’s latest vacuum metallising solutions.
