Jaideep Singh with Rhyguan Smart-450
Zodiac Reprographics, a provider of label & packaging printing from Cherlapally in Hyderabad, has installed a a Rhyguan SMART-450 slitter-rewinder machine with Luster 100% inspection camera, which has been supplied and installed by Flexo Image Graphics—a leading distributor & service provider of flexo presses & associated equipment in the Indian sub-continent.
“After a thorough search and comparisons, we eventually chose the high-speed and high-precision Rhyguan SMART-450 slitter-rewinder for its unique features like the Luster 8K 100% inspection camera with variable data inspection capability. We decided to opt for this ‘smart’ and one-of-its-own-kind unique finishing system from FIG to make sure that the labels and other prints we produce are cent-percent defect free,” says Jaideep Singh, managing director of Zodiac Reprographics.
So far, FIG has done several installations of the Luster inspection system on Rhyguan and Rotoflex slitter-rewinders. Also, FIG has recently installed the 100% detection system on presses like Bobst, Mark Andy and wide web presses for reducing cost of materials. “With our investment in machines like Rhyguan SMART-450, what has been cultivated at Zodiac Reprographics as core culture since our inception around four decades ago is the readiness to cope with challenges and adapt to changes—be it technologies or innovations. This is how we keep upgrading our machine portfolio and the ways we innovate our solutions and end products,” mentions Jaideep.
Lt. Col. MD Singh, who retired after 21 years of service in the army and decided to put his time to good use, gave birth to Zodiac Printers barely using a single letterpress in the year 1981, which in due course of time transpired into Zodiac Reprographics with more dynamic and sustainable business that still thrives on his principles. “Today, a generation later, we focus on the same value of innovations and client-centricity,” says Jaideep.
He continues, “We are determined to use only the latest and efficient machines and technologies, such as the new Rhyguan SMART-450, for catering richest outputs to the utmost satisfaction of our clients.” Zodiac Reprographics has pioneered in using several top-class print techniques and technologies to meet new and challenging assignments. After the first offset press in 1989, a four-color press arrived at the company’s facility in 2005, five-color press in 2008, then South East Asia’s first 8-color flexo press in 2012 and so forth.
It’s not just prints but brand communication which Zodiac Reprographics provides its clients dotted in segments like spirits & beverage, foods, pharmaceuticals, personal care, etc. First recognition of such works of the company was dawned in 2014 with the accolade of ‘Best Label Printer Award’ from Label Manufacturers Association of India (LMAI), followed by another from the association in 2018, and the latest being the ‘Excellence in Packaging & Label Printing Award’ at The Times of India ET Excellence Telangana 2024.
“Over the years, we have earned the trust of our clients because of our work and strong machine portfolio. We are grateful even to the new Rhyguan SMART-450, which is perfect for 100% inspection and many other features,” tells Mr Jaideep, adding that they feel good to be partnered with FIG for the machine and unconditional after-sales support. In addition to Rhyguan, FIG supplies other global brands like Rotoflex, Luster, Kluge, KDS Quantum, Presstek, etc, with a centralized ‘Customer Support Department’ to serve customers across India from its main office in Delhi and branches in Mumbai and Chennai.
Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive
The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.
As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.
We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.
The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
