At Labelexpo India 2014, Technova launched its entry level inkjet label press the SmartJet that it has developed with its development partner Macart. The prototype press was earlier launched at Pamex 2013 and has been beta tested by several customers during the last year and is now ready for the commercial launch. It has the Memjet head and can print on inkjet coated paper in the range of 60 gsm to 300 gsm at a speed of 60 A4 sheets a minute. The size of paper that can be used is of 21.6 centimetres width.

The press comes with a Nice label prepress software for variable data printing with a capability to print static as well as variable data. The software is easy-to-use and can extract part data from any database and use it with existing data. It can combine records from two or more tables using the Joins software. The use of EasyForms reduces data entry errors and full serialization helps create real time arithmetic and scripting enabling the creation of complex variables.

Priced at below 10 lakhs the inkjet printer is attractively positioned in the market. Parag Pimple, general manager, sales and marketing packaging segment of Technova says that the business was good at Labelexpo 2014 and several promising enquiries have been received. Technova is also marketing Tilia Labs prepress solution for labels that can be used to optimize layouts with an auto imposition tool run on both Windows and Mac platforms. Optimized layouts reduce cutting work and wastage and are especially useful for labels that are not regular squares or rectangles in shape.

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.
