The Bobst Master DM5 has been named  ‘Best Combined Label and Flexible Packaging Printer of the Year’ in the 2020 EDP Awards competition.

Master DM5 is a printing and converting machine that combines digital and analogue printing processes from Bobst and daughter company Mouvent into an all-in-one, inline concept developed to deliver ‘timely and efficient’ label production, from priming and printing to varnishing, embellishment and die-cutting. Master DM5 was introduced last year as Bobst launched into the market for hybrid printing technology.

The European Digital Press Association (EDP) acts as a recognised industry forum. Since 2007, the association has honoured the best products by awarding nearly 300 trophies.

Matteo Cardinotti, managing director at Bobst Firenze., commented, ‘The innovative Master DM5 is the ultimate proof of Bobst’s vision for the labels industry, where every single step throughout the production process is digitalised from the job file to the finished reels of printed and converted label applications. All functions and tooling are seamlessly integrated, allowing you to effectively manage the production while performing quality control throughout the process.

‘Winning this renowned industry award is hugely satisfying and further supports our vision, and I would like to thank the judges for their recognition.’
