The Sensex has rallied well over the past month, even crossing its highest point rally of the past six months. The question on everyone’s mind was has the market recovered? Has the Indian packaging industry survived the global economic recession? While most would claim that the worst is over, many thoughts are still hovering on a note of cautious optimism. Compare this to eight months ago, with the doomsayers predicting a bleak outlook for the economy. But according to the luxury packaging service providers PSA spoke to in Mumbai, things are looking up.

Over the years

Since its first beginnings in 1884, the retailer Marks & Spencer has evolved into something of a UK institution, adorning the High Street or shopping mall of most urban centres. In recent times, the affectionate abbreviation of their name to ‘Marks & Sparks’ has been streamlined as plain M&S; the long-standing St Michael trademark has been quietly dropped in favour of a string of demographically targeted brand-names such as Autograph; Per Una; Blue Harbour. Behind these labels, however, the quality of its products and level of technical innovation within its packaging has remained constant. Furthermore, no other store has become quite so synonymous with a particular brand of British life-style.

The inkjet solutions for packaging went beyond the usual specialty marking systems to actually demonstrate the full scale colour production of large size board and corrugated cartons on machines such as the very fast and the SunJet that was demonstrated at a customer site near Dusseldorf. Many of the newer flatbed UV inkjet printers such as the HP Scitex XP5300 and XP 2700 can also be used for some of these POP applications. Both of these are near the dozen mark as far as Indian installs.
