Fiorini unveils advanced packaging solutions with new 10-colour printing press

ITALY – Italian packaging firm Fiorini has expanded its printing capabilities by introducing the state-of-the-art 10-colour BOBST EXPERT CI Flexo press. This press joins an existing 8-colour BOBST press in its robust lineup.

This investment enables Fiorini to meet the rising demand for premium better, visually striking packaging solutions.

Giovanni Fiorini, President and CEO, described the new press as a “new dimension” in printing that strengthens the visual appeal of Fiorini’s clients’ brands, positioning Fiorini packaging as an “appealing business card” for its customers.

Reflecting on the company’s legacy since 1947, Fiorini noted that this new press offers a remarkable advancement, allowing for the creation of detailed, multi-colour designs that add depth and impact to brand imagery.

Innovation in high-speed printing

The 10-colour BOBST EXPERT CI Flexo press offers more than just aesthetic advantages. Its high-speed capabilities, reaching up to 600 meters per minute, streamline operations with features like triLOCK technology, which minimizes the need for manual adjustments.

The press’s smartFLO inking system ensures consistent, high-quality results, while an automated platform option accelerates sleeve changeovers, boosting operational efficiency.

This combination of precision and speed empowers Fiorini to meet modern market demands for visual sophistication and efficient production.

Strategic collaboration with BOBST

Fiorini’s collaboration with BOBST, a leader in flexible packaging technology, has added strategic value to its operations.

Alberto Vaglio-Laurin, BOBST’s Business Director for Flexible Packaging in Southern Europe, highlighted the shared values of innovation and quality underpin this partnership.

He noted that Fiorini and BOBST are aligned in their commitment to advancing sustainable packaging solutions.

In line with Fiorini’s commitment to sustainability, the BOBST press includes Full Surface Matrix intercolour drying, which operates at lower temperatures to conserve energy.

This resource-efficient feature aligns with Fiorini’s environmental goals, reflecting a growing industry focus on reducing the carbon footprint in packaging production.

Fiorini has integrated BOBST Connect, a cloud-based platform for data consolidation and digital services, to enhance efficiency further.

This technology provides comprehensive production insights, enabling Fiorini to perform preventive maintenance, reduce downtime, and avoid costly disruptions.

With these digital tools, Fiorini can maintain consistent, high-quality output while reducing waste and energy use.

This significant investment in sustainable, high-performance printing technology reinforces Fiorini’s mission to deliver compelling, high-impact designs that capture the essence of its clients’ brands and promote environmentally conscious packaging solutions.
