Multitec Aids will be displaying its S1 label press running 12-micron PET film, and another E1 narrow web flexo press shown will be a full LED UV curing machine. The S1 will be demonstrated with dual servo technology, multi-layer capability, and several other new features. The E1 will be an all-LED UV flexo press printing PS labels. Multitec’s inspection slitter rewinder – the QSR will also be displayed.

Amit Ahuja says, “There has been quite a bit of development over the past four years since the last Labelexpo India show. Many new features have been added to our presses, and the overall offering has been revamped and streamlined. There is more interchangeability within the product matrix, which helps us retain the label converters over the lifecycle of the equipment as the investment in tooling goes down. Other than that, material-saving and time-saving features have been added to Multitec’s narrow web flexo presses. The presses running in the field have adapted well to the major shift toward short-run flexible packaging for laminates and have excelled in that area too.”

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.
