Bobst to focus on label and flexible packaging open house event in Atlanta

Bobst North America has confirmed labels and packaging are going to be focus points at the upcoming open house event in Atlanta on December 3, 2024, in the newly inaugurated Bobst Atlanta Competence Center.

The new facility, dedicated to serving customers in the label and flexible packaging sector, showcases flexo, digital and all-in-one printing and services and provides opportunities for learning, collaboration and innovation.

The Open House will demonstrate how to simplify label production based on BOBST’s industry vision in shaping the future of the packaging world with focus on its core pillars of connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability.

Bobst will focus on the cloud-based digital platform Bobst Connect that enables users to have a complete overview of the production process, from the PDF to the finished product. Designed to allow converters to improve productivity, maximize efficiencies and eliminate waste throughout the production process, the platform is continually updated with new capabilities. It also now harnesses the power of Bobst AccuCheck system on Bobst Digital Master Series by enabling converters to track and optimize their productivity and quality, archive and share the reports.

At the event, guests will see Bobst’s technologies in action, including the end-to-end production on the Digital Master 340, an all-in-one modular platform. They'll also observe the label production on the Digital Expert 340, a roll-to-roll UV inkjet press, as well as flexible packaging production for short runs 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 also demonstrated. Additionally, high-level flexo automation will be highlighted through on-the-fly job changeovers, showcasing quicker turnaround times, reduced waste and profitable short-run flexible packaging production.

Experts will present key market insights from industry leaders on current trends and challenges and introduce some of the latest innovations in packaging. Guests will also get the chance to discover the Bobst Services and enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the new Competence Center.

“Bobst’s vision for the future of packaging production will be front and center at our Open House in Atlanta this December, as we continue to set new standards for the industry,’ said Matt Bennett, label zone business director for North America at Bobst. ‘Join us for a day of learning, collaboration, and innovation to discover how Bobst is leading the way in transforming the packaging world and supporting converters achieve the full potential of their businesses with advanced solutions that simplify label production through connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability.’
