Bobst North America to showcase label and flexible packaging solutions at Atlanta Open House

NORTH AMERICA – Bobst North America is set to showcase its latest label and flexible packaging solutions at an Open House event in Atlanta on December 3, 2024.

The event will take place at the newly inaugurated Bobst Atlanta Competence Center, which is dedicated to serving customers in the label and flexible packaging sectors.

The center highlights the company’s expertise in flexo, digital, and all-in-one printing services and offers learning, collaboration, and innovation opportunities.

During the Open House, Bobst will demonstrate how its vision for the future of packaging focuses on four key pillars: connectivity, digitalization, automation, and sustainability.

A major highlight will be the cloud-based platform Bobst Connect, which provides users an end-to-end view of the production process, from the initial PDF to the final product.

This platform helps converters enhance productivity, improve efficiency, and reduce waste while offering ongoing updates and capabilities, such as the integration of the Bobst AccuCheck system to track and optimize production quality.

Attendees will have the opportunity to see several technologies in action, including the Digital Master 340, an all-in-one modular platform, and the Digital Expert 340, a roll-to-roll UV inkjet press.

Bobst will also demonstrate the production of short-run flexible packaging on the highly automated Master M6 flexo press.

The all-in-one label production concept, which integrates printing, finishing, die-cutting, and quality control in a single pass, will be a focal point, showcasing faster job changeovers, reduced waste, and profitable short-run production.

In addition to technology demonstrations, industry leaders will present insights on the latest market trends and challenges.

Guests will also have the opportunity to explore Bobst Services and take a behind-the-scenes tour of the new Competence Center.

Matt Bennett, label zone business director for North America at Bobst, emphasized that the event will showcase how Bobst transforms the packaging world through its advanced solutions that simplify label production while promoting sustainability.
