Switzerland-based BOBST has won the Gold Award at the International Gravure Awards 2025 for its smartGRAVURE technology. Winners were announced during the International Gravure Days event in Istanbul on Wednesday, recognizing BOBST’s leadership in redefining gravure printing for the modern, connected-packaging industry.

smartGRAVURE brings intelligence and automation to the gravure-printing process, integrating advanced data control, closed-loop color management, and predictive maintenance tools to ensure exceptional quality and consistency, reduced waste, and greater production uptime.
