The Esko workflow uses ArtiosCAD software for the structural design of cartons
Bobst India and Esko India have set up a one year partnership to demonstrate the packaging converting workflow to the Indian market and to utilize Esko’s hardware and software for the Bobst India blanking tooling project. The first sign of this agreement will be visible at the Bobst factory in Pune from 26 to 28 February at the forthcoming Competence15 event. Along with the recently launched Bobst Novacut 106 ER diecutter, the brand new LILA II 145 folder-gluer and the in-line Accucheck inspection system, the Esko workflow using ArtiosCAD software for the structural design of cartons and the Kongsberg V20 cutting table will be demonstrated at the forthcoming Open House event.
The three-day Competence15 Open House event will showcase the entire carton converting workflow to customers from India, South-East Asia and the Middle East. Venugopal Menon, vice president of Bobst India, says, Many of our partners will also show machines and technologies. We are particularly happy to have come to an agreement with Esko, which allows our demonstration centre in Pune to show the structural design of cartons and the creation of prototypes. Esko also helps us in our blanking tooling project.
Shrihari Rao, sales director of Esko India, says, Bobst is the benchmark for quality and productivity in the carton and corrugated market segments. Esko is the benchmark for CAD/CAM packaging design and prepress solutions. Esko’s ArtiosCAD, which is widely used by the packaging industry, complete with the die-making module is now installed at the Bobst India demonstration centre.
Packaging converters can also see the newly launched Kongsberg V20 cutting table, which has already sold in record numbers because of its versatility and accuracy at an economical price point. Now, customers can see a carton converting workflow starting from carton design, to prototyping and mass production using Bobst’s diecutting and folder-gluer machines at one demo site.
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.
