BHS Corrugated Launches NextGraphX: A Game-Changing Workflow for Corrugated Packaging

BHS Corrugated proudly announces the introduction of NextGraphX – the next-generation alternative to traditional litho-lamination. This revolutionary approach combines the proven strength of a corrugator, designed by BHS Corrugated, with the cutting-edge capabilities of a BHS Corrugated single-pass inkjet printer. Featuring an optimized working width that outperforms traditional laminators, NextGraphX sets new benchmarks for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability in corrugated packaging.

What is NextGraphX from BHS Corrugated?

By integrating digital preprint technology into the production workflow, NextGraphX enables converters and FMCG brands to achieve high-quality graphics, shorter lead times, and significant cost savings – all while reducing environmental impact.

Embedded in Corruverse, NextGraphX is part of a connected ecosystem designed to digitally transform every step of the production process, helping producers and converters to operate better, cheaper, and faster.

Key Benefits of NextGraphX

+BETTER

- Replaces the multi-step litho-lamination workflow with a corrugator-native process to achieve higher stability, stronger OEE, and more predictable production planning

- Streamlines production into three core steps: print, corrugate, convert

- Enables high-quality graphics and added-value printing through the use of digital printing in the production workflow

+CHEAPER

- Lowers the overall cost of producing high-graphic corrugated packaging by eliminating the expensive and complex litho-lamination stage, including cost-intensive PVA cold-set glues

- Achieves consistently lower cost per box through lighter paper grades

- Minimizes waste and increases throughput through efficient working width and digital print-to-order manufacturing

+FASTER

- Prints multiple Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on a single roll, eliminating rigid litho setup demands

- Significantly shortens lead times compared to traditional production methods

- Runs multiple jobs in parallel through multi-lane, multi-job batch printing capability
