The day consisted of technical presentations in the sales lounge followed by two demonstrations on a Bobst General K5000 in the adjacent machine demonstration area.

The new Bobst Dark Night Process was the focus of the first presentation of the day. Dark Night is a new approach to defect elimination to achieve higher barrier films. This was followed by a machine demonstration using Bobst General Registron Hawkeye.

The second presentation and demonstration was focused on the AlOx process. Bobst uses a standard aluminium metallizing machine as a foundation for the AlOx process which results in versatility as one machine can be used for two processes without compromise. The application is available for coating a wide range of films including PET, BOPP, CPP, PLA and other types of plastic films. The coated film can be used for end products including baked goods and microwaveable products.
