See you in Shanghai in April! Bost ECO mode upgraded version and Torch Measurement and Control System reshape a new benchmark for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in flexible packaging!

As the global flexible packaging market enters an era of stock competition, product structures are becoming unprecedentedly complex. Manufacturers not only need to meet the demand for higher performance materials, but also must find a delicate balance between the "dual carbon" goal, agile delivery, and ultimate cost.

As a leading global supplier of substrate processing, printing, and processing equipment,BOBST will be unveiled at the "Chinaplas 2026" at the Shanghai Hongqiao National Convention and Exhibition Center from April 21 to 24, 2026.

At that time, Bost will focus on the three core dimensions of "high-end, intelligent, and sustainable", showcasing a wide range of productsVacuum coating, coating, gravure printing, flexographic printing and composite full process flowOur end-to-end solution helps Chinese packaging companies seize the opportunity in the ever-changing market trend.

In the field of gravure printing, how to reduce energy consumption and solve environmental management pain points through technological means has always been a focus of industry attention.

Bost's launch this timeThe new ECO mode upgraded version is not only an upgrade of the equipment, but also an intelligent control strategy of "automatic air use, smart energy saving".Compared to the ECO mode that only saves energy in shutdown scenarios, the upgraded ECO mode achieves dynamic coverage of the entire process from "shutdown" to "in production".

Operators do not need to have profound knowledge of ventilation, they only need to select gears in intuitive mode, or make fine adjustments based on graphic coverage and ink volume, and the system can automatically coordinate the control of air blowing and return air.

This intelligent regulation can significantly reduce unnecessary exhaust air volume and makeup air heating while ensuring sufficient product drying and production safety, effectively alleviating the operating pressure of RTO (thermal storage incinerator), reducing the risk of speed reduction or shutdown caused by overload, and truly achieving low threshold and high stability green production.

　　The unstable amount of glue applied during the transition to the composite process is often the main culprit leading to high scrap rates.The traditional production mode relies on frequent manual inspections and the personal experience of "masters". Once there is a mixer failure, roller defect or adjustment deviation, it is easy to cause large-scale quality accidents, resulting in glue waste and huge losses of pre printing substrates.

In response to this pain point, Bost has introducedTorch measurement and control system.This online solution deployed on the composite machine canReal time monitoring of adhesive weight and execution of closed-loop automatic adjustmentIt transforms the previously "invisible glue fluctuations" into "visible and correctable" real-time data, suitable for various films, metal foils, and different types of adhesives.

　　The value brought by the "Torch Measurement and Control System" to enterprises is multidimensional.

　　Firstly, the ultimate stability of qualityThrough online monitoring, the risks of coating streaks, abnormal joints, and insufficient peel strength have been reduced, which is a guarantee of reputation for high-end orders.

　　Secondly, there is a significant optimization of costsDue to the implementation of precision control, enterprises no longer need to deliberately increase the amount of glue applied for the sake of "insurance", thereby converting hidden glue consumption costs into visible profits.

In addition,This system significantly reduces downtime caused by manual fine-tuning, greatly improving the agility of the production lineCapable of calmly responding to the market demand for "small batches, multiple batches, and fast delivery".

Faced with increasingly stringent sustainable development goals and fast-paced market demands, flexible packaging companies need a scientific methodology to support them. By digitizing and closed-loop the production process, Bost ensures that quality remains at the target, reduces rubber consumption, and speeds up production capacity.

This is not only a technological innovation, but also a practical path to help enterprises achieve a win-win situation between high-end quality and green environmental protection.In April, Bost invites you to explore more possibilities for the future of the flexible packaging industry in Shanghai.
