Bursting strength tester from Saurashtra Systopack

At IndiaCorr Expo this year, Saurashtra Systopack displayed a range of testing and end-of-the-line equipment. Akshay Gandhi, director of the company, showcased latest developments in testing instruments. A completely new crush tester and shorts span tester were introduced along with their end-of-line packing equipment, which included carton erectors, carton sealers and conveyers.

Talking about their carton erectors, Gandhi said, “It is a semi-automatic end-of-line packing system, employed for filling and sealing of products inside the shipping boxes. After filling and closing the four flaps of the box manually, it is further driven to another end through the free roller table. The roller table is a well-engineered product, where the boxes can easily slide through the spiral track. As the path follows the direction towards the centre of gravity, it becomes hard for the container to move in another direction. Hence, the free roller path is free of any electrical supply and pitch conveyor belt. The device is an ideal machine for the filling units having volume requirements of 500 to 1,000 boxes a day.”

For higher volume needs, the company provides complete automatic solutions, which is ideal for large warehouses. “There is a science behind how the end-of-the-line should be configured to which we strictly adhered,” he stated.

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!
