Vinsak, a leading print equipment supplier, has installed India’s first Rhino at Pragati. The machine is claimed to be the most powerful in-line flatbed embosser in the market with foiling and hologram in-setting units. It has a revolvable foil head to apply foil across and in web direction. It operates at a speed of up to 25,000 cycles per hour for multi-stepping designs. These 7 strokes per second allow production at high speed with cost-effective tools. RHINO II also accommodates two foil stepping servo levels for independent patterns and 6 individually controllable heating zones for maximum flexibility in heat management on demanding multi-step designs.
“We saw a live demo of Pantec Rhino at Labelexpo India 2016 and found it a complete fit with our existing infrastructure. We are looking to incorporate this machine into the labeling of wine and cosmetics. The flat bed systems and the high pressure allows us to add a lot of value to our offerings and also allows us to access niche markets to provide embellishment products at par with the global market,” said Hemanth Paruchuri, director, Pragati Pack.
Pragati Pack, part of the Pragati Group, is a five-decade-old company providing printing and finishing services for a range of products — from marketing collateral to packaging and labels. The company has won the prestigious SAPPI International Printer of the Year for a record three times.
Talking about the installation, Ranesh Bajaj, director, Vinsak said, “The best part about this machine is that you can attach it inline to any printing press and complete printing as well as finishing in one go. It will save on turnaround time while producing high-quality finishing.” He further added, “To help the label printing industry, we are keen to bring machines which are of high quality, rich in features and have more automated functions backed with our strong support system, which can ease the operations of Indian printers.”
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.
