Pragati Pack to install Prati’s DIGIFASTone

Pragati Pack is a part of the Pragati group headquartered in Hyderabad known as being the most globally recognized and awarded Indian printer. Its packaging division provides leading brand owners in several segments with monocartons, labels and special hard boxes that are widely used in the alcobev, luxury packaging and cellphone segments. In the past two years it has expanded with two new plants for hard box packaging including the interior fittings that are required in this type of packaging – one is near Hyderabad’s new airport and the other is near the North Indian cell phone manufacturing hub in Noida.

The company recently purchased its fourth Prati machine, a DIGIFASTone, which is a digital finishing machine for short run and digital labels. Pragati Pack’s other Prati machines that are already installed are all slitter rewinders with inspection systems. The DIGIFASTone is expected to be installed in the coming 100 days and should be up and running at Pragati’s packaging and label plant in Hyderabad well before the end of the financial year that ends on 31 March 2019.

Hemanth Paruchuri director of Pragati Pack, says, “We chose the Prati DIGIFASTone to finish the labels that are digitally printed on our HP Indigo digital label and packaging press. We particularly appreciate the quick makeready with reduced wastage on the machine and are also impressed with the speed of the machine. In addition, the prompt response to queries and the professional handling of the enquiry by Sunil Talpade of Royal Coat, the official representative of Prati, were a great plus in favor of choosing Prati. In fact, this will be our fourth machine from Prati.”

Moreover, its full compliance to Industry 4.0 standards and the availability to connect it to the converters’ MIS allows the DIGIFASTone to both generate and exploit data and analytical tools that improve production efficiency.
