Sapna Label House has booked the Wanjie Advance 350, a 6-color offset press equipped with dual flexo units, rotary die cutting, cold foil, auto remote ink control, and CIP3 software. The machine will be supplied and installed by Wanjie India.
“We are receiving more orders for small quantities, but our current full rotary machine is not ideal for that,” said Inderchand Kumawat of Spana Label House. “That is the main reason we decided to go for the Wanjie Advance 350.
“Rakesh Patel of Wanjie India’s promise for prompt service and support played an important role to ink the deal. That was a significant factor in our decision.”
Faster changeovers and higher precision
Sapna Label House highlights the press’s superior print quality as one of its most appealing features. The deciding factors, however, were speed and automation.
One major feature is the automatic plate punch machine, which can complete jobs in four to five minutes. “For a company wishing to manage a higher number of short-run orders, this is a significant productivity boost. This feature will help us improve our production capabilities. “We’ll be able to print more short-run jobs in less time,” Kumawat said.
Sapna Label House intends to focus the new press on two important segments – small-quantity labels and pharmaceutical labels. Cold foil, which is required for many pharmaceutical and luxury packaging operations, was not available in their current setup. The new machine’s integrated cold-foil capability closes that gap. “We do a lot of cold-foil work, and that function is not available on our present equipment. This will directly support our productivity goals,” Kumawat said.
A stronger footing in the Western India market
The company anticipates the expenditure to increase its brand reach in Surat and throughout Western India’s label market. Faster turnaround times and the capacity to handle different applications, particularly small-run operations, are expected to help them gain new clients. “We will be able to focus on more industries and deliver all jobs within committed timelines,” said Kumawat.
