Bobst, Esko and Flint Group have collaborated to create a new corrugated box ‘Flexo Goes Green, in a bid to accelerate the application of technologies that address the Chinese market needs regarding sustainability, productivity and quality.
The new box has been printed with non-toxic water-based ink FLEXOPAK C from Flint Group and photopolymer printing plate, nyloflex ART 284 Digital, on a Bobst VISION-160 press.
According to Flint Group, the prepress work has been delivered by Esko.
The technology provided by the three packaging companies is said to improve the sales function of the corrugated box.
Flint claims that corrugated post printing is an alternative to pre-printing by offset and also a better solution in means of sustainability, productivity and quality.
The corrugated box was presented during the Sino-Corrugated 2013 fair in Shanghai, China.
