Global Graphics Machineries, distributor for Weigang in India, has secured a deal with Flen Labels, Ahmedabad, for the machine that will be showcased at Labelexpo India 2024.

The Weigang ZJR-450G flexo printing machine is a versatile machine with modern design, having a unique print sleeves system that eliminates the gears from the printing unit, thereby giving superior printing results while the light-weighted print sleeves also facilitate easy handling, storage, and changeovers. Equipped with dual European servo motors on each printing unit, the machine is suitable for running in 2nd pass with accurate register. Cold foil stamping attachment with its noteworthy foil-saving mechanism coupled with multi-layer lamination as well as auto-switchover from Hot Air Dryer to IR Drying as per job curing requirements, enhances the value proposition of this 10-color machine.
