Print O Pack Global Offset in Noida recently ordered an automatic die-cutter MHK-1050 ATC with leaf from Robus India. Started in 1985 in Delhi as Chawla & Sons by Bharat Bhushan Chawla, the company used to produce sweet boxes as job work. However, today it provides comprehensive packaging solutions in-house from prepress, and printing through final product.

The company produces sweets boxes for Haldiram and Bikanervala, toy boxes, TV boxes, and green crackers boxes in addition to providing festive and gift packaging solutions. The company also produces cartons for the pharma industry. Sweet boxes, and festive and gift packaging is the forte of the company and has carved a name for itself in the market.

The company installed its first printing machine in 2006 – a Heidelberg 5-color press. During the same time, the company also invested in its prepress and post-press unit, converting its setup into a one-stop-shop for complete packaging solutions. The company kept upping the ante and in 2015, it installed another multi-color press – a Heidelberg 6-color + coater press.

With increased production and growing demand, the space in the Delhi plant seemed limited over time. Hitesh Chawla and Nivesh Chawla – both brothers and second-generation – then started the Noida plant in 2019. Currently, the Noida plant has a Heidelberg 6-color + coater press. The Noida plant also houses a corrugation unit that produces 1.6 lac sheets every day.

In 2020, the company installed a Robus Rapid folder-gluer at its Noida plant. Later, it also installed a lamination machine from Robus. Nivesh Chawla of Global Offset said, “We are satisfied with the performance of the Robus folder-gluer and lamination machine, and the ability of the machines to promptly process various kinds of demands that we are receiving from the market.”

More recently the company invested in its presroom and postpress unit. Nivesh Chawla shared that another 5-color press – a Heidelberg CD 98 – has been ordered for the Noida plant, and will be installed in July 2022. The automatic die-cutter from Robus will be installed between April-May 2022. Chawla added, “The second Heidelberg has been ordered to meet our increased demand as well as to support the existing press in the event of any breakdowns.”

Chawla said, “Delivering high-quality products with minimal time to market is our motto. We have invested in Robus machines once again because we are happy with the machines that are already running at our plant, and after working on their machines for so many years, we knew Robus will not let us down. Robus’ machines come at a very competitive rate while at the same time also don’t compromise on quality, features and production speed. The existing Robus folder-gluer at our plant helps us to produce high-quality cartons and boxes at high speeds, fulfilling our increased demand for packaging. Also, the hand-holding, training and guidance including after-sales service support of team Robus is commendable.”

Speaking about the current market scenario, Chawla said, “There is huge inflation pressure but we are doing our best to cater to our customers consistently during this difficult period while passing on some of these costs. I don’t think we can expect any respite from this situation anytime soon.” Chawla shared that the market is reviving since the pandemic and has already stabilized by 80-85%. He also added that despite sluggish growth being recorded in the last 2-3 years, the packaging industry was able to grow at 10-15%.
