As far as we know, BOBST has launched MASTERLINE DRO, an end-to-end solution that it says will offer converters high-volume production of value-added simple boxes and packaging with quality printing and die-cutting.

According to BOBST, the new machine spans the production line from prefeeder to palletizer and uses the company’s latest technology, including 10 patents. It also delivers high-quality indoor and outdoor printing in a single pass, as well as sophisticated die-cutting capabilities, the company says. MASTERLINE DRO is reported to offer “excellent” performance with an annual production capacity of over 40 million square meters. In addition, BOBST claims that customers can expect a 15 percent improvement in the Box Compression Test (BCT), which can mean paper savings.
According to the company, the machine has two quality control systems to consistently match prints during setup or production. BOBST adds that Start & Go provides fully automated set-up multicolour jobs with automatic compensation for irregularity, while Lead & Print apparently guarantees print to print and print to cut consistency with compensation for cardboard irregularity during production.

In addition, the machine is reportedly designed to be easy to set up and operate, resulting in maximum uptime with minimum effort. According to BOBST, users can manage the entire production line with an intuitive operating system and faster order changes.
BOBST claims that the robust design of the MASTERLINE DRO reduces wear on the company’s machine components, while standardized spare parts, intuitive service menus and easy access to all parts of the machine clearly make maintenance cost effective when needed.
 “As brand owners demand higher die-cut and printed quality from corrugated packaging suppliers, achieving both goals while maintaining profitability is becoming increasingly important for box manufacturers.
