Aimed at label and package
printers, brand owners and label designers, 2014’s show saw the leading Indian
and international manufacturers showcasing their cutting edge technology. Now lets see what exhibitors had to say about
Labelexpo India 2014
Ajay Mehta, SMI Coated Products: “SMI Coated Products Pvt. Ltd. has its roots truly entrenched in India. Despite the growth in exports, India has been the centre of our focus and Labelexpo India is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our products, firm commitment and gratitude to the Indian label industry. The four days at the show were very busy and extremely fruitful. Over the period of years the show has progressively improved and the quality of the large number of visitors is truly amazing. Our friends in the industry evinced keen interest in our ever expanding wide range of products as well as the new tools we have introduced at the show. Our new specification sheets, curved diameter indicator and brochures for the seven different types of industry are path breaking tools to help the industry. And last but definitely not the least; Labelexpo has truly made the show of an international standard and hats off to them!“
A Appadurai, HP India: “Labelexpo
India was the ideal platform to showcase the new HP Indigo WS 6800 digital
press for the first time in India. One of the major attractions at our booth
was the digital supermarket, where visitors could see first-hand, the various
application possibilities for label and packaging converters. Our key highlight
was the Brand Innovation Summit, where we were able to share insights with
brand managers and owners, helping them understand the challenges and
opportunities of the label industry. We were thoroughly pleased with the
visitor engagement we had at the expo.”
Jitesh Mehta, Avery Dennison: "Labelexpo India has been very successful for Avery Dennison. A large number of customers visited our booth who were keen to know about our offerings in durable, home and personal care and pharma segments. The 14 innovations we showcased this time earned the spotlight at the exhibition. Labelexpo gives us a platform to demonstrate to customers how we can help them grow."
Ashish Anand, LinkSmart
Technologies: "Labelexpo India was a successful event for introducing
smartDNA based new technology and solution for tamper-evidence,
anti-counterfeit coupled with track & trace. Our fundamental differentiator
of insider threat protection was something of great interest for visitors and
other exhibitors as well. LinkSmart witnessed interest for various end-customer
applications and at least three licensing opportunities in multiple
geographies. Similarly our reusable tamper-evident, duplication-evident and
remote-monitorable flexible packaging again based on smartDNA was received with
great enthusiasm. To summarize there were more opportunities at Labelexpo than
we had expected while doing ground-up architecture, design and development of
smartDNA labeling technology."
Atul Gandhi, Macart: “This is the
first time we have participated at Labelexpo India and we are very much
satisfied with the inquiries generated. We got visitors from all over India and
also some international visitors.”
Sanjeev Chada, Memory Repro
Systems: “This was our first participation at Labelexpo as for the past four
decades we’ve been in pre-press and post press in offset printing. We got
tremendous response to our flexo cleaning machine because printers were really
looking for one such machine. Labelexpo India gave us exposure and we are sure
to gain out of it. Our rough estimate is to get business worth 3-4 million. The
enquiries that have gone into the pipeline are serious and we will turn them
into orders in the near future.”
Pravin Varshney UPM Raflatac: “We
enjoyed the four extremely busy days at Labelexpo India. The atmosphere was great
and we had a pleasure to host a successful gala dinner for over 300 customers,
industry partners and other stakeholders. Labelexpo is definitely is the best
place to meet the people working in the labeling industry and to see where the
business is moving. We are seeing overall healthy organic growth in India and
across South Asia due to a rapid increase in pre-packaged food products, pharma
sector growth and the massive appetite for personal care products. In addition,
Indian companies are increasingly becoming aware of environmental issues and
that’s why our Label Life concept was of interest to both label printers and
end-users. We’re proud to work in India along the same principles of
world-class technology, quality and performance, environmental sustainability
and top class customer service as we do everywhere else.”
Martin Kugler, GEW: “Once again GEW participated as an exhibitor in this year’s Labelexpo India to demo the latest product developments. For GEW the show was an international platform to announce the availability of the RHINO electronic power supply for UV-printing systems that was launched in production following three years of intensive development and rigorous testing. RHINO sets the new benchmark in effective UV technology and includes a series of innovative features with reliability and energy efficiency at the top of the list. Visiting the GEW stand, existing customers and new prospects alike were excited about the benefits of 24x7 reliability, energy savings, ease of use and embedded service support. The combination of the rugged RHINO power unit and the E2C UV-lamphead has made an extremely favorable impact and customers are insisting that OEMs incorporate these systems from GEW in their scope of supply.”
Luc Dehandschutter, Arets
Graphics: “Arets Graphics and Toyo Ink India, both subsidiaries of Toyo Ink
Group, introduced a new series of UV flexo inks at Labelexpo India 2014. The
new series, Steraflex, is designed to address the high-end needs of UV flexo
customers. This is an ideal product, for customers who are looking for high
strength and yet low viscosity, maintaining high curing speeds for quality and
productivity. Steraflex is a high strength, fast curing UV flexo ink system
ideally suited for label and flexible packaging markets. With the launch, Arets
hopes to improve its share of UV flexo ink market in India.”
