About Bobst

Bobst is a world-renowned Swiss engineering enterprise founded in 1890, standing as the global benchmark for machinery and services supplied to folding carton, corrugated board, and flexible packaging manufacturers. With a pioneering legacy in converting technologies, Bobst develops complete production lines that integrate substrate feeding, high-precision flexographic and gravure printing, flatbed and rotary die-cutting, automated folding and gluing, and vacuum coating.

The company is recognized globally for its Swiss engineering standards, rugged mechanical reliability, and cutting-edge digital automation. Bobst systems incorporate intelligent optical registration, computerized makeready controls, and cloud-connected telemetry that enable packaging converters to achieve exceptional print definition, rapid job changeovers, and zero-defect quality control across mass-production runs. Its engineering solutions empower packaging producers across the Gulf to satisfy demanding multinational brand requirements.

Bobst product range

Bobst supplies a comprehensive portfolio of high-productivity packaging and converting machinery:

  • Flexographic Printing Presses: Advanced inline and CI flexo presses such as the MASTERFLEX-HD, VISIONFLEX, and MASTER M5/M6 series, offering superior print register, high graphic definition, and rapid sleeve changeovers for labels, corrugated board, and flexible film.
  • Flatbed Die-Cutters: High-precision autoplaten die-cutting systems including the NOVACUT and EXPERTCUT series, delivering speeds up to 9,000 sheets per hour with automated waste stripping and blanking.
  • High-Speed Folder-Gluers: Versatile box gluing lines such as the EXPERTFOLD and MASTERFOLD series, capable of processing straight-line, crash-lock bottom, and multi-compartment cartons at linear speeds up to 450 meters per minute.
  • Corrugated Converting Lines: Heavy-duty inline flexo folder-gluers (FFG) that print, die-cut, fold, and stitch or glue corrugated shipping boxes in a single continuous pass.
  • Gravure & Lamination Machines: High-speed gravure printing presses and solventless or solvent-based laminators engineered for multi-layer barrier film and flexible food pouch production.
  • Vacuum Metallizers: High-barrier vacuum metallizing systems like the EXPERT K5 series for depositing ultra-thin aluminum coatings on plastic films and paper substrates.
