Toshiba has launched its BX600 Series, which expands its A-BRID platform to six-inch wide format industrial barcode printing – offering a range of new features for users in various sectors.
Increasingly, barcode labels are becoming more important throughout the supply chain as goods make their way through – and more is asked of them, so they need to be precisely printed and durable to withstand the rigours of the chain. This means that more is asked of the printers that print these labels – users require precision, reliability and speed to keep up with demand.
Toshiba has been an established name in this sector for many years, and it is responding to the demands of customers with the launch of the BX600 series. Building on the success of the BX400 series, Toshiba bills the BX600 series as its next-generation six-inch industrial barcode printers. The BX610T and BX620T models extend Toshiba’s proven BX portfolio into wide-format labelling, offering powerful performance, seamless integration and smart connectivity for demanding environments.
Driven by Toshiba’s advanced A-BRID platform, the BX600 series delivers intelligent printing capabilities, cloud-based management and legacy system compatibility. A-BRID sets a new standard for industrial labelling and helps businesses implement emerging regulatory requirements such as the EU’s Digital Product Passport with ease.
Its advanced system architecture powers a range of new features, including highly efficient direct PDF printing that eliminates the need for middleware or special configurations – ensuring fast, accurate output even in complex environments.
The BX600 series is designed for high-volume operations that require broader labels and greater throughput. Whether for pallet tags, automotive components or compliance labelling, these printers deliver precision, durability and efficiency – all made possible by the smart architecture of A-BRID.
BX600 printers offer standard USB and LAN ports, with additional Wi-Fi and legacy serial connections. Combined with A-BRID’s embedded architecture, businesses can deploy complex workflows with minimal setup and maximum efficiency.

Powered by A-BRID platform
All BX600 models are equipped with the A-BRID platform – the core technology that enables the series’ standout features. From seamless legacy integration to cloud-based management and intelligent workflow automation, A-BRID ensures that every BX600 printer delivers maximum value with minimal complexity.
The A-BRID platform offers a range of advantages to users, such as the ability to print labels directly from PDF files without middleware. It also automatically adjusts incoming data for seamless integration of e.g. Digital Product Passport requirements – no changes to the host system required. Users can also monitor and update printers remotely via e-BRIDGE CloudConnect and embedded apps allow standalone operation without external workstations. Finally, there is a drop-in replacement for legacy systems with plug-and-print simplicity.
Expanding opportunities for industrial labelling
The BX600 series extends the four-inch BX400 range, creating a full portfolio that meets every labelling need. From micro-labelling in electronics to wide-format pallet tags in logistics, Toshiba’s BX series empowers businesses with flexible, reliable and future-ready solutions.
“The BX600 series marks a significant step forward in Toshiba’s industrial printing evolution,” said Akira Ito, European product marketing manager at Toshiba Tec. “By extending the BX series to six-inch wide labelling and leveraging the full capabilities of A-BRID, we’re enabling our partners and customers to tackle new applications and industries – while gaining a distinct competitive edge in the market.”
