Cosmo Films, a global leader in films for flexible packaging, lamination and labeling applications as well as synthetic paper would be showcasing its speciality range of printing substrates at the upcoming International Printing Technology Exhibition of China (Print China), scheduled to take place from 9-13 April in Dongguan city, Guangdong Province, China.

The products on display would include new versions of synthetic paper, such as high tear resistance paper and both sides coated paper along with premium lamination films, pressure-sensitive label films and speciality packaging films.

Synthetic paper

A co-extruded, white opaque, polypropylene based film which resembles paper in appearance, it is printable with most available printing technologies which include wet and UV offset, wet and UV flexo, letterpress, screen, thermal transfer, select water and powder toner media and HP Indigo technologies. Synthetic paper is a replacement of paper in applications where durability and longevity is desired. It is non-tearable, has moisture and chemical resistance and excellent lay flatness. The versatility of synthetic paper is reflected in the vast number of applications where it can be used. This includes areas such as commercial printing, tags and labels, retail and packaging, identification and credentials and outdoors. The company has also recently launched a new version of the paper with high tear resistance designed specifically for the steel tag application.

Premium lamination films

The premium range of lamination films comprises of velvet, scuff-free matte, linen and digital lamination films which have been designed keeping the needs of luxury packaging and high-end graphic lamination industries in mind.

Labelstock films for self-adhesive labeling

These films which go in for label facestock applications are available in transparent, white, matte and metalized varieties (both coated and uncoated options). The films are compatible with UV- and water-based ink systems and deliver spectacular print performance across a wide variety of printing processes, which include flexography, gravure, letterpress, offset, screen, thermal transfer and HP Indigo digital. The films also offer high stiffness for conversion and dispensing.

Speciality films for packaging

The films for packaging on display would include barrier films which help with shelf life extension of food products and offer barriers such as moisture, oxygen, aroma and light. The other speciality on display would be heat-resistant BOPP films which can replace BOPET film in the printing layer and are designed keeping the recycling concerns with heterogeneous structures in mind.

Cosmo Films will be in Hall 1, Stand 1-1233.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
