The most advanced in-line folding carton press Omet Varyflex
Narendra Paruchuri lead Pragatipack, a celebrated company involved in producing print packaging and based in Hyderabad, has always been in the forefront for indulging in new technologies. They have taken a historical step of opting to install an “Omet Varyflex”, the in-line folding carton press. Pragatipack is family owned company where three generations are passionately involved in turning out state of art printed products. They are a company for whom winning awards for print excellence both at national level and international level is a way of life. They won the Sappi Elephant award in 2006, 2008 and again in 2010.
The main features of Omet Varyflex installed at Pragati is a flexographic platform machine with the facility for installing a rotogravure, cold foil and a silk screen cassette in every position of the press. Those are main added values which go along the high quality of the flexo UV printing. In such configuration the press can perform, all in one pass, those high added value jobs which would otherwise request several off-line passes to be completed. It is therefore possible to print, reverse print, foiling, overprinting, metalizing, relief printing and converting, all in one go.
The team at Pragati is excited about this acquisition. Hemanth Paruchuri is excited about the capabilities of this press. He says? “We're excited about the wide range of substrates that can be printed on the press, from 12 micron all the way up to 600! We're excited at what opportunities this'll bring to us in the carton side of business. Very versatile and there are a lot of avenues we can target!”
