Perfect for these industries

BST has been a trusted partner to the printing and packaging industry from the very beginning. Our systems support all major printing processes: flexo, gravure, offset, digital, and hybrid. Also they are used in a wide range of applications from food to pharma. With proven technology and decades of experience, we ensure stable production, consistent quality, and seamless integration into existing workflows.

High web speeds and intermittent printing processes are often required in narrow web / label printing. This includes anything from pharma codes on medication bottles to automobile and electronic device labels. Tight installation spaces and system costs also play a decisive role. As always, the goal is to achieve the best possible print result.
