Royal Geostick Group has purchased a new BOBST MASTER M5 flexo press, purpose-built high-volume multilayer label production.
Configured with 12 flexo units, a double unwinder, QN module and one ECG-readiness, the MASTER M5 press will shortly be installed at Royal Geostick’s facility in Uithoorn, Netherlands. After multiple acquisitions of All-in-One DIGITAL MASTER platforms, Royal Geostick is now expanding its conventional flexo capacity to boost productivity, diversify applications, and meet rising market demand for high‑quality labels over longer run lengths.
A significant regulatory change is accelerating that demand. Beginning July 2026, EU Regulation 2024/2865 introduces stricter labeling requirements across the European Union. With more on‑label information, precise formatting rules, and tight compliance deadlines, multilayer labels have become the primary solution for brands. Anticipating this shift, Royal Geostick moved to invest in technology capable of producing multilayer labels at scale, sustainably, and in one pass.
The MASTER M5 offers full automation, 12 flexo units, rapid changeovers, tight register control, and stable high‑speed performance. Integration with BOBST Connect is said to ensure seamless data flow across Royal Geostick’s workflow, providing the reliability needed for large‑volume sustainable production.
