Sustainability has been an important concern for printers and converters for years and will have a huge impact on printing in the near future.

In 2013, the BARTHEL GROUP was the first label printing company in the world to commission a TubeScan digital strobe from Nyquist Systems for web inspection at its headquarters in Essen, Germany. Nyquist Systems, manufacturer of inspection systems for narrow-web printing processes, introduced this system as an alternative to conventional stroboscope lamps. Since then, the BARTHEL GROUP, which specialises in the production of self-adhesive labels of various types for a number of industries, has followed every step of the development of TubeScan systems. In the meantime, several of their printing and packaging machines are equipped with these systems for 100% inspection. Since the beginning of 2019 Nyquist Systems is part of the BST Group. The group is responsible for the worldwide sales and service of the TubeScan portfolio.
