Under the company’s Baldwin brand, BW Converting is showcasing a powerful lineup of technologies at Labelexpo Europe 2025. The company’s goal is to help converters meet today’s demands for efficiency, sustainability and print quality.

At Booth 4G42, the company is featuring four systems live under the theme, “Treat. Cure. Clean. Inspect.”

Featured is 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. 

Addressing industry trends

Each of the featured technologies speaks directly to the most critical challenges converters face today. These obstacles range 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. Plus, 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. These features help converters maintain tight quality control with fewer operator interventions. Meanwhile, the combination of web viewing and 100% inspection from the Defender platform provides wider web converters with real-time defect detection. They receive viewing at high resolution, as well.

“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,” says 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.”
