At FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 in Barcelona, the new Corrugated platform brings corrugated converters into the centre of the event — and Barberán is one of the companies to watch. The exhibition runs from 19 to 22 May at Fira Barcelona (Gran Via), with a dedicated zone focused specifically on corrugated packaging, POS and display production.

Barberán, a Spanish industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1929 in Castelldefels, is focusing on one key direction:
👉 Single Pass digital printing directly on corrugated board
What They Are Showing
At FESPA 2026, Barberán is presenting its JETMASTER platform — a Single Pass UV inkjet printing system designed for direct printing on corrugated board without plates or lamination.
The technology is based on stationary printheads and enables high-speed, contactless printing in a single pass. In practical terms, this means a shorter and more stable production flow, with fewer intermediate steps.
Barberán has already installed industrial JETMASTER systems with major corrugated converters worldwide, demonstrating that this is not a concept, but a working production solution.
Why This Matters
This is not just about another digital printer.
It is about a different production logic:
no print plates, no lamination, faster changeovers and greater flexibility for short runs and high-value POP and display applications.
For converters, this directly impacts:
In a market where flexibility is becoming as important as volume, this shift is increasingly relevant.
Where to Find Them
If you are planning your visit, Barberán will be at Stand 3-A175 (Hall 3, Corrugated zone) during FESPA 2026 in Barcelona.
