In the face of progressive globalization, brands with an international sales and production infrastructure also have a growing need for additional packaging variants, a more individual sales approach, and a shorter time-to-market. This increases complexity and the risk of defects in packaging production. On the other hand, the digitization of all key process steps in production offers a way of greatly reducing this risk of defects, or even eliminating it altogether. Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) and its Swiss subsidiary Gallus will therefore be presenting a range of solutions and measures aimed at automating quality assurance and control, all integrated in the entire workflow and the participating machines in an intelligently networked production environment, under the motto Smart Print Shop – Zero Defect Packaging at the upcoming interpack, scheduled from 4 to 10 May in Düsseldorf. These solutions and measures are designed to boost the international competitiveness of packaging producers by enabling reliable, productive and economical production, especially of defect-free, high-quality folding cartons and labels in offset, digital and flexo printing.

TCPL Packaging has recently signed up for two new MK 1060 YM foil-stamping and diecutting machines from Heidelberg. With a turnover exceeding Rs. 600 crore this year, TCPL Packaging is one of the major converters of paperboard and folding cartons in India. “Our strong presence across the nation and the world-class service we offer to our customers is well backed by our state-of-the-art infrastructure. The MK1060 YM equipment is a compelling value-add to our business model and portfolio,” says Saket Kanoria, managing director and who spearheads operations at TCPL.

In a world premier, Gallus showcased a pre-series model of its latest generation of machines at the Gallus Innovation Days, scheduled from 20–22 September 2016 at the company headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Seven years after the market launch of the Gallus ECS 340, by far the best-selling and one of the most successful conventional label printing systems in its class for Gallus, the company is set to launch a new machine with a wider web width of 440 mm.
