BW Converting Unlocks Next-Gen Printing, Packaging and Mail Solutions at DRUPA 2024

BW Converting is inviting print, packaging and mailing professionals on a quest to achieve more with less to beat a path to the newest and most developed technology at DRUPA. 

DRUPA 2024 takes place May 28 to June 7 in Düsseldorf, Germany. BW Converting, in Hall 16 / Booth D20 & C21, comprises the print, mailing and packaging technology leaders Baldwin Technology, W+D and PCMC.

Baldwin Technology is set to reveal three new products at DRUPA – A completely redesigned LED-UV curing platform, an even more powerful version of their trusted QuadCure UV line, and an upgraded print inspection product family. With these technologies, Baldwin aims to offer printers and manufacturers compact, efficient solutions that deliver new levels of speed and power.

“We are incredibly excited to share brand new solutions for the printing industry at DRUPA,” said Jonathan Fore, Product Management Director at Baldwin. “These new technologies fill critical gaps in the market, and we look forward to demonstrating how we can empower businesses to propel their print quality and productivity.”

Visitors can look forward to seeing how the best features of Baldwin’s wide array of existing LED-UV products were unified into one LED system with industry-leading UV power, compact size, and application flexibility.

DRUPA attendees can also witness Baldwin’s result of combining the latest generation of lights & cameras, modern UX design, and extensive inspection know-how into a super simple package that, when paired with the Defender 100% Inspection System, will be the most modern of its kind on the market.

Experience the ION Hybrid Digital Press as well as the Meridian -- PCMC’s patented laser technology, which minimizes time, ink and waste in the anilox cleaning process. Step into the future of mailing solutions with W+D’s new innovative portfolio including the higher speed and wider product range BB820+ mail and ballot inserting system and the new wider print head i-Jet 3, the industry’s fastest high-quality envelope and direct mail inkjet overprint press, which has recently achieved a 39% increase in speed.
