Increased demand for self-adhesive labels in Southern India

August 2, 2015

Tridev Labels, a label printer based in Chennai, has invested in a Mark Andy 2200 machine for the production of self-adhesive labels. Tridev Labels is a leading manufacturer of labels and bar code stickers. A labeling company incepted in 2008 with a focus on creating labels that are innovative, unique and functional, Tridev Labels has the capabilities to create all types of labels in a variety of printing options including digital, flexographic and wide format. This Mark Andy 2200 label press has been added to help with the increasing demand for self adhesive label work in the segments of health care, barcode labels, automotive labels, food and beverage labels, personal care labels and quality control and calibration labels.

According to RV Kirubakaran, CEO of Tridev Labels, “Emerging as the single source for quality label requirements, from paper to film, to hot foil stamped labels, to tamper evident, temperature sensitive and laminated labels, the need to meet and exceed the needs of our customers has always kept us on our toes. And with business growing, the need for new equipment made us look for options and having zeroed in on Mark Andy 2200, we made the decision to invest.”

The benchmark in label printing equipment featuring technologies such as advanced web tension management, self-aligning cassettes and superior drying and curing systems, the Mark Andy 2200 is one of the most flexible and productive presses on the market today. Providing maximum versatility and flexibility to support any expanding business, the versatility of the 2200 allows it to be used for a wide variety of converting applications employing pressure sensitive stock, paper, foil, gummed stock, heat seal material, light weight tag and data processing stock, plus print both sides of the web in a single pass.

Gourav Roy, managing director for Flexo Image Graphics said, “Due to the increasing demand for high-end labels for the pharmaceutical industry and food and beverage labels, Tridev Labels saw a need to expand the company’s production capacity. As a result, the company will now be able to widen its existing supply of labels thanks to the high running speeds and fast changeovers, while offering top quality printing to their customers.”

“Today the company has a good clientele base in various industries and we feel quite proud that we have managed to grow even in a highly competitive market. I have no doubt that the key to our success has been quality labels, short delivery times and consistency,” Kirubakaran concluded.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
