Fosber has confirmed a strategic partnership with Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions, a division of Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc., a leading global inkjet solution provider.
This alliance brings together Fosber’s industry-leading expertise and Fujifilm’s cutting-edge range of printbars, seamlessly integrated into Fosber’s state-of-the-art digital imprinting solution. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing print quality, operational flexibility, and sustainability for the corrugated packaging sector.
“There is a strong market demand for innovations that reduce environmental impact without compromising quality or flexibility,” said Marco Bertola, CEO, Fosber Group. “Collaborating with Fujifilm allows us to deliver advanced digital imprinting technologies that drive sustainability, creativity, and operational excellence across the corrugated packaging industry.”
“Our partnership with FOSBER adds a powerful new dimension to industrial-scale digital printing. The precision and efficiency of our printbars make them an ideal solution for corrugated packaging manufacturers,” said Ankur Mour, Vice President and General Manager, Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions
Key Benefits of the Fosber Digital Imprinting Solution
- Reduced Time to Market: digital printing enables rapid job changes and fast turnaround, empowering brands to respond to changing market demands.
- Serialisation & Personalisation: print unique serial numbers, personalised text, images, or even serialised 2D and 3D barcodes directly on corrugated packaging, opening new opportunities for targeted marketing, traceability, and anti-counterfeiting.
- On-Demand Printing: produce exactly what you need, precisely when you need it, and in the quantities required — eliminating excess inventory and reducing waste from setup and makeready.
- Compatibility and Flexibility: upgrade both new and existing corrugators, including installations in confined spaces thanks to the compact printbar design. The compact printbars can be flexibly located to meet the production needs and project imposition.
- Sustainability: support regulatory requirements such as the EU Packaging Waste Directive aimed at improved sustainability by enabling fully digital print workflows that reduce material consumption, make-ready, and minimise CO₂ emissions.
- Operational Efficiency: improved production efficiency with inline digital printing. This configuration eliminates the need for additional flexographic printing after the corrugation process. With fast digital setup, less process steps, minimised waste which translates into low total cost of ownership, fast turnaround, and return on investment.
The integration of Fujifilm’s printbars with Fosber’s corrugated machinery provides print resolutions up to 1,200 dpi and print speed up to 300 m/min. These printbars provide the performance needed for high volume printing, delivering crisp high-fidelity images essential for branding, serialisation, and traceability on corrugated substrates. This digital process supports versatile production runs, from mass production to on-demand custom orders.
This partnership reinforces Fosber’s commitment to delivering sustainable and innovative corrugated solutions worldwide. By leveraging the robust printbar technology of Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions, businesses can confidently adopt digital imprinting in support of their environmental, social, and regulatory compliance (ESG) objectives while maintaining high productivity and the required print quality.
The transition from conventional analog printing to Fosber’s digital imprinting solution means turnaround efficiency as well as reductions in waste and material consumption. By removing the dependency on plates, films, and foils, Fosber, with Fujifilm printbar technology, offers an eco-friendly, cost-effective pathway toward sustainable packaging production to customers.
