On 26 May 2022, the first day of Printpack India, Sodhisons opened its account with the sale of an autoplaten die-cutting machine with a heated platen to cut plastic, to Dimple Packaging in Ludhiana. Dimple’s Pankaj Kalra said, “We already have an autoplaten die-cutter with hot foil stamping from Sodhisons and are investing in the second machine owing to their service and the technical strength of the machine capable of 600 tons of pressure for deep embossing. We have made the right choice.”

Sharda Graphics signed a deal on the first day for an autoplaten die-cutting machine with a heated platen and a Heidelberg Cylinder with hot foil stamping and a 3-flute laminator to enhance its productivity. It is a user of five platen die-cutters with hot foil stamping machines from Soshisons for the past 16 years.

On the second day of the show, Sodhisons inked deals for fully automatic rigid box-making machines with two customers. It also sold a couple of 3-ply flute laminators with a speed of 8,000 sheets an hour, to Chandni, and SB Printo Pack respectively.

The KDX high configuration dry lamination machine under Shenso (a joint venture of DAYA and Sodhisons) was sold to Khosla Printers in Sahibabad. This machine is equipped with 5 servos, a high-pile feeder and stacker, and an auto tension controller for film unwinding. Khosla said, “After studying all the options available in the market, we decided to invest in the 6th Generation Intelligent KDX lamination machine with hot-knife which is ready for the future and meets our ever-increasing production demands.”

On the third day of the Printpack India show, 28 May 2022, Sodhisons signed a deal with Nageen Print Pack in Meerut for its high-speed auto flute laminator which runs at 12,000 sheets an hour. Mohit Jain of Nageen commented – “We are investing in a high-speed flute laminator to match and balance our other production capacities.”

Another deal was signed for a 5-ply automatic flute laminator with Hari har press on the same day. A special manual heavy-duty die-cutting machine with an air clutch was sold to Frank Education. A die-cutter with a hot foil stamper was also sold to Archies. Regarding its success of the first three days of the show, Sodhisons Mechanical Works CEO Rakesh Sodhi said, “We are providing all the solutions to our customers under one roof. We are looking forward to cracking at least ten more deals by end of the show.”

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.
