In a move that entrenches them more firmly in their new focus on the packaging industry

Although the theme was supposed to highlight flexible packaging’s new attributes as a vehicle for market promotion, the presentations and proceedings were more like a state-of-the-industry analysis and a take on trends and technologies in the Indian flexible packaging market.

In absolute numbers, Interpack showed a 28 per cent rise in Asian visitors as compared to interpack 2005, and an increase of 32 per cent in Indian visitors. Many of the visitors returned to Düsseldorf hardly a month later for drupa08. A visitor survey undertaken by Messe Düsseldorf indicates that 78 per cent of the visitors were interested in process technologies and equipment for packaging and converting.

The sabre eXtreme concept provides an electronic converting solution for digitally printed webs and eliminates the need for expensive rotary tooling that can often delay the converting operation. Set-up times and waste are reduced through instant make-ready and the need to lift and store heavy magnetic cylinders and dies in the workplace is eliminated.
States Tony Bell, Sales Director, “Software and hardware technology has changed since the launch of our first laser system and we have made a number of upgrades to sabre eXtreme that enhance performance and operation. They include new user-friendly operator interface, faster operating speed and enhanced cutting accuracy.”

EskoArtwork’s fully-owned subsidiary and Global Resource Centre at Bangalore will be headed by Mr.  Dinesh Chandra, who has been overseeing Esko’s Indian operations since 2000.

The Uflex range of products extends from basic raw materials like PET chips, inks and adhesives to intermediate products like BOPET/BOPP/CPP/ coextruded films, metallised films and gravure cylinders to finished products like multi-layered laminates and pouches, holograms and packaging systems. They also make a whole range of packaging and converting machinery.

The main emphasis was on shelf ready packaging (SRP) highlighted at theme-oriented collective pavilions at the show’s Innovation Parc for Packaging. Participants in the pavilions included, among others, Heidelberg, MAN Roland, EskoArtwork, Metro, M-Real, Siegwerk, Smurfit-Kappa and COPACO. Products on display reflect the industry’s major trends such as the increased use of robots, software integration, RFID, bioplastics, waste reduction, recycling and energy saving technologies.
