UVbiz, the packaging division of major food company, MB Industries, has proudly announced the successful installation of one of the first BOBST M6 label presses in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BOBST M6 is a cutting-edge label press that represents the pinnacle of technological innovation in the packaging industry. As a leading manufacturer of printing and packaging equipment, BOBST designed the M6 press to provide exceptional flexibility and versatility. It enables high-quality printing of labels, shrink-sleeves, flexible packaging, and offers advanced automation features for rapid production and efficient workflow as well as enhanced decorative options. In addition, its oneECG feature for Extended Colour Gamut printing guarantees less ink and substrate consumption, and more time-saving operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a strong foothold in the flexible packaging market, UVbiz has quickly established itself as a leading provider of innovative packaging solutions. Specialising in short-run flexible packaging, the company offers a wide range of products, including in-mould labels, shrink sleeves, wet glue and wraparound labels, catering to various industries such as beverage, confectionery, home and personal care, pet care, agro products, and frozen food segments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognising the need for cutting-edge technology to meet the demands of short-run production, Rohit Badlani, Managing Director of UVbiz, explains the company’s decision to invest in the BOBST M6 press and add to its existing Brotech\u202finspection system, DuPont Cyrel fast plate\u202fprocessors and Esko CDI Spark flexo imager capabilities: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We felt that other available technologies\u202fwere not doing enough [for short runs], and\u202flots of start-ups were cropping up at that time. Luckily, BOBST was also, at the time,\u202fpublicizing the idea of going for short-run\u202fflexible packaging technology. So, we\u202fdecided to go for it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Badlani also highlights the potential for decorative shrink sleeves in the Indian market, which has primarily relied on gravure printing, \u201cSince we are in more of gravure driven\u202farea, printing has mainly taken place\u202fthrough gravure but there is scope for
machines like BOBST to create d\u00e9cor and\u202finnovative sleeving options for customers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
BOBST\u2019s unwavering support and expertise have been invaluable to UVbiz, whose background is not primarily in the packaging industry. Badlani commends BOBST for its continual dedication and assistance, stating: \u201cBOBST has been one of those fantastic\u202fpartners, which has been with us from day\u202fone from the first trial job to executing\u202fin India and going through the process\u202fof multiple jobs every day. It has been\u202ffantastic. It is always a message away from\u202fus; whenever we are stuck in materials, understanding of the business, BOBST is right\u202fthere.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the key reasons behind UVbiz’s selection of the BOBST M6 press is its exceptional flexibility. Initially purchased for short-run flexible packaging, the company quickly realised its potential to print also supported labels and shrink sleeves. “The flexibility of having multiple substrates on the same system was the main idea that drew us towards it,” notes Badlani. “When you enter a new industry, it is important to have a backup plan where if one thing doesn\u2019t work, the other should. That gave us the confidence to go with a big investment for BOBST.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to its partnership with BOBST and the state-of-the-art capabilities of the M6 press, UVbiz is attracting interest from prominent players in the industry. \u201cWe partner with them for all kinds\u202fof new product development and new\u202fdecorative materials in the market. BOBST\u202fbrings that brand value to our organization\u202ffor which people want to partner with us.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impressive automation of the BOBST machine, with its remarkable 10-second changeover, has left a lasting impression on clients. Badlani shares: “We do it every day, 20 times a day. Most\u202fbrands are just blown away by the idea\u202fof it. They visit just to see it. It has been\u202fa fantastic journey. We have had multiple\u202fbrand owners pitching in their ideas and\u202fgetting them executed quickly. We have\u202fhad brand owners coming in at 9am and returning with printed sleeves by 4pm. That\u202fis the speed we go by.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
UVbiz is particularly impressed with the OneECG feature of the BOBST press. Although customer awareness for Extended Colour Gamut (ECG) in shrink sleeves remains relatively low in the market, discussions surrounding this innovative technique are gradually gaining momentum. \u201cBrand owners are discussing it, and it is not far when they will start asking for it. We\u202fhave understood the idea. People have been\u202fattempting OneECG for quite some time,\u202fbut we have been doing it successfully for\u202fthe last two years. We don\u2019t have any other\u202fink in our facility apart from the seven fixed colours. We will continue to follow this\u202fsystem whatever new machine we buy with\u202fBOBST.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Badlani concluded by praising the level of service support received from BOBST and recognised its steadfast packaging partnership. He said: \u201cBOBST has been connected with us in a\u202fmanner that it takes direct feedback from\u202fmy machine operators to find out more about challenging jobs and asks for feedback\u202fon the machine for improvements. It has been a fantastic\u202fthree-year journey. We will be a loyal BOBST\u202fcustomer for many decades to come.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
