At Printpack India 2025, Wayne Beckett spoke with Nick Price, BHS’s Head of Sales for Asia Pacific, about the company’s expansion into digital printing for the corrugated and broader packaging market. Traditionally known for its corrugating solutions, BHS is now developing innovative in-line and offline digital printing systems, allowing customers to produce high-quality graphics directly on packaging materials. Price highlights that these new digital printing solutions are set to launch by the end of the year, with initial installations taking place in Germany, the US, and China as part of an alpha and beta testing phase. With manufacturing in Shanghai, the new product range is designed to meet the demands of the Southeast Asian, Indian, and Australian markets, providing a strong return on investment and enabling businesses to bring their printing in-house. BHS is leveraging its infrastructure and engineering expertise across the Asia Pacific to ensure comprehensive support, including spare parts, print heads, and inks. The first machines will be installed in China in the coming months. The company aims for a full market rollout by the second half of 2025, leading to widespread installations in 2026. For those interested in the future of digital printing in corrugated packaging and the evolving role of automation in the industry, this discussion offers a first look at BHS’s latest advancements and strategic vision.
