Noida-based Adway Print Concept is an established manufacturer and supplier of monocartons, labels, catch covers inserts, rigid boxes, litho laminated cartons, and luxury boxes. It relocated its plant from Delhi in June 2020 to Noida. The company’s director Anuj Kumar Jain, says, “Our existing Delhi facility, which was rented, demanded more space. There is now enough land in Noida which we purchased in January 2020, with production beginning there in June the same year.” Thus far, the new plant has a built-up area of 40,000 square feet.

Adway Print Concept has all the print and decoration, converting, and special finishing equipment needed to manufacture monocartons and luxury hard box cartons. In the press room, it runs a Komori 4-color Lithrone G40 offset press and a Heidelberg double-color plus coater press. In the converting section, it has recently bolstered and automated its die-cutting capacity with the installation of the MK EasyMatrix 106CS die-cutter. It also has a Polar diecutter and six manual die-cutting machines.

Further, in the carton workflow, the converting section includes a Bobst Visionfold folder gluer and Zhongke gluing machines. Other finishing equipment consists of an eFlute laminator, Stahl Ti36 folder, and an automatic insert folder as well Polar automated guillotines.

Adway’s move to Noida has helped extend its carton converting capacity while the company remains engaged in commercial printing. Separate floors are dedicated to commercial printing and for the finishing, coating, lamination lines for the converting of monocartons, rigid boxes, and luxury boxes for the converting lines. The company can provide cartons with all types of substrates including met pet and coating and decoration with aqueous and UV, spot UV and hybrid UV varnish, hot foil stamping, and braille embossing. It uses ink from Toyo and Siegwerk.

Jain spoke about his customer segments for cartons, “The company is catering to the cosmetics, automotive, electronics, food and beverages, and especially the pharma industries.” The company moved from Delhi to the new premises in Noida during the Covid-19 pandemic caused some inevitable production delays, but currently, normalcy has resumed and the throughput is smoother with the new automatic diecutter in place.

Digital metallic decoration & label press plans

Pradeep Kumar Jain, one of the company’s directors says, “We can now carry out our expansion plans that had stalled due to space constraints. Planned is the addition of finishing and printing machines and diversification to other segments such as blister packaging, stickers, and rigid boxes.”

“We are planning to introduce a new printing line that is only used in digital printing. Instead of using met-pet printing, we will now use silver metallic printing, which is also a normal printing, but it is a better embellishment of the product and it is environmentally friendly and recyclable because the substrate is not laminated with metallic polyester film. This will be the future for digital printing, but the machine is fairly expensive,” said Jain.

“We also plan to introduce sticker label machines for cosmetic bottles and window patching machines for liner cartons. We are also planning to install the Gallus Labelmaster flexo label press for enhancing the business’ growth and the quality of products provided by Adway,” the Jain brothers added.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
