Nippon Color is putting the spotlight on advanced digital printing and finishing technologies at Pamex 2026, to be held from 27 to 30 January 2026 in Mumbai. The company plans to use the platform to launch new solutions, conduct live demonstrations, and engage closely with customers seeking flexible, automated, and future-ready production systems.
Speaking about the company’s showcase, Akshat Pardiwala, COO, Nippon Color, noted, “At Pamex 2026, we are presenting a wide range of advanced digital printing and finishing technologies that address the changing demands of the Indian printing and packaging market.” One of the major attractions will be the launch of Vorey’s AuraCut A6, a six-head digital label finishing system designed for speed, accuracy, and operational flexibility.
The AuraCut A6 can cut at speeds of up to 17 meters per minute and uses a high-speed CCD (charge-coupled device) camera to ensure precise registration.
Highlighting its automation capabilities, Pardiwala explained, “The system offers automatic job changeover, fully automatic blade depth adjustment, and a four-axis fully automatic tension control system, making it ideal for efficient roll-to-roll label cutting without the need for dies.” He said the solution is particularly well suited for short-run jobs, prototypes, and customized label production where quick turnaround times are essential.
Nippon Color will also introduce a new brand, TPS, in India. The company will showcase the TPS S2+ series of digital flatbed die-cutters, designed to handle diverse applications with ease. “The S2+ series can hold up to four tools simultaneously and perform half-cutting, full-cutting, cut-and-crease, and V-cutting,” Pardiwala said.
Equipped with a heavy-duty electric oscillating tool capable of cutting materials up to 20 mm thick, the system supports applications ranging from labels and packaging prototypes to customized boxes, POP signage, foam boards, and greeting cards. Both the AuraCut A6 and TPS S2+ machines will be demonstrated live at the show.
Beyond products, Pardiwala emphasized that Nippon’s differentiation lies in the overall value it delivers to customers. “Our focus is not just on selling machines but on providing complete end-to-end support—from installation and operator training to preventive maintenance—so that customers experience the lowest possible downtime,” he said. To further strengthen service responsiveness, Nippon maintains a full stock of recommended spare parts at its Mumbai office, enabling quick resolution of customer requirements.
He highlighted the company’s approach to technology selection. “Before adding any new technology, we spend six to twelve months evaluating the manufacturer. We visit their factories, interact with existing users, and study real-world challenges to ensure long-term reliability and serviceability,” he explained. This process ensures every solution offered by Nippon delivers sustainable value.
Sharing his perspective on industry trends, Pardiwala observed, “The Indian printing and packaging industry is clearly moving towards digital technologies due to shorter runs, faster delivery timelines, and the growing need for personalization.” He added that automation is critical due to the shortage of skilled operators, while sustainability goals are driving printers to reduce waste and adopt just-in-time production models.
To align with these shifts, Nippon Color established New Print Solutions as a sister concern dedicated exclusively to digital printing and finishing equipment. “This separation allows us to build specialized teams, improve technical expertise, and respond faster to customer needs,” Pardiwala noted.
“Pamex 2026 will give our customers an opportunity to see the machines in action, take trials, and evaluate how these technologies can enhance their production capabilities. We expect strong engagement and are confident the show will translate into meaningful business outcomes,” Pardiwala concluded.
