‘Made in India’ was an apparent theme at Pratham Technologies stall at IndiaCorr Expo, where the Pune-based fi rm promoted its Indian developed IPV Proof Check software. The software basically cross-checks original artwork PDF fi le approved by the customer with ready-to-print artwork PDF file before printing as well as scanned fi le of printed artwork after printing. In other words, the software provides PDF-to-PDF analysis for print-ready artwork before printing and PDF-to-scan analysis for printed artwork after printing.

“It caters to players in the carton, leaflet and label segments with emphasis on printers extending services to the pharmaceutical industry,” said Sham Desai, marketing manager at Pratham Technologies.

Pratham has developed the IPV Proof Check software in collaboration with Image ProVision, another Pune-based fi rm. According to Desai, IPV Proof Check software complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 norms. The software generates both short report for quick understanding as well as long report for detailed understanding of analysis with pictorial data.

Another product that generated curiosity at the Pratham Technologies stall was the carton sorting system, Supersort, which has been developed in technical collaboration with Isra Vision of Germany. Supersort comes in two variants: Supersort 5002 and Supersort 5003. Supersort 5002 features one camera for face inspection and one for reverse inspection while Supersort 5003 has a third camera on the face side for inspection of defects in special operations like embossing, lamination, UV coating, etc. “The Supersort generates more productivity as compared with manual sorting process of folding cartons. It is fast and reliable,” Desai said.

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!
