Flexographic gains momentum in India

Web Printing – Together We Grow – 13 February 2015

On the whole the Sri Lankan converters are cautious — for instance one is happy about large investments made two years ago that were hugely successful but also glad about not going forward with a repeat investment. They are content to work with a balance of new technology and old machines until the economy turns around. Some larger packaging companies speak of putting off investment for another couple of years. There is also some speculation as to what the impending IMF infusion of more than US$ 1.9 billion will do to the economy and currency valuation.

Much like drupa last year, China Print in its 7th edition emphasised packaging both as a growing segment in offset printing and in its more specific flexo, gravure and ancillary equipment settings. Established 25 years ago, China Print has become the largest printing fair in China, and the second largest in the world when considering the number of exhibitors. Compared to its last edition in 2005, exhibitor numbers rose by 30% to 1,284 while the visitor count – 68,000 – remained flat and even declined as compared to 2001 when it reached 75,000. Including repeat visitors, China Print’s total of 160,000 visitor entries over the five days, however, makes it the busiest printing exhibition after drupa. In terms of unique visitor numbers, it is closing in on IGAS Tokyo and has already overtaken the Ipex Birmingham show and Print Chicago.
