Ensure product safety, print quality and process reliability in liquid packaging production
Liquid packaging materials must meet the highest standards for product safety, product quality, barrier performance and packaging quality. Whether for dairy products, beverages, sauces or other liquids, even minor defects can compromise package integrity, reduce shelf life and impact brand reputation.
Manufacturers face increasing demands for flawless surfaces, precise print quality and stable production processes. In addition, growing sustainability requirements and the increasing use of recyclable packaging materials create new challenges for maintaining consistent product quality and process stability. Surface defects, print deviations, color variations or registration errors can lead to waste, customer complaints and costly production disruptions.
BST helps manufacturers maintain consistent quality throughout the entire production process – from film production and printing to converting and final packaging material production.
Protect food safety and your brand in every millimeter of packaging
In liquid packaging production, quality must be monitored continuously. Defects, registration deviations and web alignment issues must be identified immediately before they affect product safety, package functionality or visual appearance.
By combining surface inspection, print inspection, color measurement and centralized quality monitoring, manufacturers can stabilize processes, reduce waste and ensure consistent production quality at high line speeds.
The result is improved efficiency, reliable package performance and full transparency across the production process.

Modular solutions for every step in liquid packaging production
Surface inspection for reliable barrier performance – iPQ-Surface
Surface defects can negatively affect barrier properties, sealing performance, product protection and quality. iPQ-Surface provides 100 % inspection for extrusion, printing and converting applications, detecting gels, black spots, streaks, inclusions, holes and other critical defects in real time. Early defect detection reduces waste, improves process stability and helps ensure the quality standards required for liquid packaging applications.
100 % print inspection for flawless packaging quality – iPQ-Check
Liquid packaging materials require consistently high print quality while ensuring the correct positioning of critical packaging features such as crease lines and functional design elements. Print defects, missing print elements or deviations in packaging structures can affect both package appearance and downstream converting processes.
iPQ-Check provides 100 % print inspection across the entire print format, detecting print defects and quality deviations in real time. The system continuously monitors printed graphics, text, codes and packaging-specific features, enabling immediate corrective actions during production.
By identifying defects at the earliest stage, manufacturers can reduce waste, improve process reliability and ensure consistent packaging quality throughout the entire production run.
Web guiding – FRAMEGuide and SMARTGuide
Processing multilayer films, laminates and packaging materials requires precise web handling throughout the production process. FRAMEGuide and SMARTGuide ensure accurate web positioning and stable material transport, even at high production speeds and and web tension levels. Combined with BST sensors and actuators, they support reliable production processes and consistent packaging quality.
Advanced register control - eltromat regi_star 20
High-quality print is essential for branding, product information and consumer confidence. eltromat regi_star 20 ensures precise register accuracy throughout the printing process, enabling exact positioning of print images and functional layers. Manufacturers benefit from reduced start-up waste, improved print quality and greater production efficiency.
Accurate color measurement for consistent brand appearance – iPQ-Spectral
Brand owners expect consistent color reproduction across every packaging batch. iPQ-Spectral provides inline color measurement and real-time monitoring to ensure compliance with defined color targets throughout production.
Continuous color control helps manufacturers reduce waste, improve print quality and maintain a consistent brand appearance across different production runs, substrates and printing conditions.
