Under the company’s Baldwin brand, BW Converting will showcase a powerful lineup of technologies at Labelexpo Europe 2025, being held from 16–19 September in Barcelona, helping converters meet today’s demands for efficiency, sustainability and print quality. At stand 4G42, the company will feature four systems live under the theme, ‘Treat. Cure. Clean. Inspect.’
Featured will be the Corona Pure and Corona SlimLine surface treatment systems, the Unity LED curing platform, the Film Cylinder Cleaner, the Guardian PQV 100% Inspection solution and the Defender View and Defender 100% Inspection solution. Together, these technologies give converters the tools to handle evolving substrates, reduce waste and improve throughput across narrow and mid-web applications.
Each of the featured technologies speaks directly to the most critical challenges converters face today, from labor shortages and tightening sustainability mandates to rising expectations for defect-free, brand-protecting printed products. The Corona Pure and Corona SlimLine improve ink and coating adhesion on challenging materials, while the Unity LED system delivers high-intensity UV curing with reduced energy consumption and a compact footprint.
The Film Cylinder Cleaner provides fast, contact-free cleaning of cast and chill cylinders to improve film clarity and reduce downtime. The latest Guardian PQV 4.0 update enables automated setup, real-time defect detection and workflow-connected inspection to help converters maintain tight quality control with fewer operator interventions, while the combination of web viewing and 100% inspection from the Defender platform provides wider web converters with real-time defect detection and viewing at high resolution.
“Narrow to mid-web converters are under pressure to do more with less, and BW Converting’s Baldwin technologies are designed to support that shift,” said Jonathan Fore, senior director, product management and strategic marketing, BW Converting. “From improving ink adhesion and curing efficiency to enhancing inspection accuracy and reducing manual cleaning, we’re delivering solutions that drive measurable impact on the production floor.”
The technologies featured at this year’s Labelexpo reflect BW Converting’s commitment to delivering practical, easy-to-integrate solutions that help converters elevate performance while adapting to new challenges in the label and printed packaging industry.
