The focus of Taiyo Kikai at All in Print China exhibition was on showcasing its label presses which are compatible to print on paper, films and light cartons of different materials as well as of varying thickness. Taiyo Kikai had a dedicated stand to showcase its equipment diametrically opposite to the first hall—N1—of the exhibition.
The STF-340 UV flexo label press, which was demonstrated at its stand, is Taiyo’s latest offering to the Chinese and Indian markets. According to Gaurav Sachdev of Standard Printers Providers, which is responsible for the sales and service of Taiyo’s presses in India, STF-340 is a multi-substrate press available in 13-inch and 18-inch web width specification, and offers foiling, lamination, screen, backside printing, inkjet and diecutting in roll-to-roll and roll-to-sheet variants. The press offers servo drives on each printing station and a silk screen unit to print labels, light grammage cartons, film and tube laminates. Sachdev informed that the company has received considerable interest from Indian visitors at the show.
As per him, so far the company has had a decent year with a few installations. He said, “The Indian label market is still pretty good with double-digit growth still being registered. We have got a lot of interest from the market. There are some areas in Northern India which are tax discounted areas and thus there is a lot of activity still happening over there. Otherwise, the Western India market is also doing quite well.”
Standard Printers Providers also has a stand at the forthcoming Labelexpo India show, scheduled from 17 to 20 November 2016, at the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida. Although they do not plan to showcase any label presses at the stand, their focus will be on promoting Taiyo Kikai’s presses as well as meeting existing and new customers.
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.
In an admittedly fragmented and textured terrain, this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing support communication – in our impactful and highly targeted business platform. Tell us what
you need. Speak and write to our editorial and advertising teams!
