Labelexpo Europe in Brussels sees the announcement of the BOBST M8, a high speed, highly automated print production and finishing system for flexible packaging and related work.
The new BOBST M8 line is a multi-process, multi-web inline printing and converting machine. For the first time, users are offered the advances - and the advantages - of BOBST’s unique Digital Flexo technology on a machine with web widths up to 1070 mm and speeds up to 400 m/min.
“Most printing companies today know they need to diversify in order to grow or even maintain revenue streams, and many label printers have been adding equipment to produce short run customized packaging to complement their revenue,” said Matteo Cardinotti, managing director of Bobst Firenze and head of narrow and mid-web multi-process product line.
The press offers flexibility in terms of substrates, consumables and applications, being able to run UV, water-based or solvent-based inks. Alongside digital control and total color consistency, the M8 delivers automatic on-the-fly job changeover sequences and up to 95% press uptime. The press handles all types used in packaging of substrates used in reel-to-reel printing, including film, aluminum foil, lamitubes and paper.
