Red Packaging Solutions has recently undertaken a program of diversification in response to its fast-paced growth in the packaging sector. This led Red Packaging Solutions to add a flexo press to specialize in pressure-sensitive label printing.

Ishu Goel, director at Red Packaging Solutions, said: ‘At Red Packaging Solutions, our sole objective is to ensure complete customer satisfaction through high print quality. To intensify our effort in consistently producing high-quality packaging and labels, and also open up avenues for more opportunities in new premium labels markets, we opted for the Mark Andy 2200 press.’

Describing the new press as a productivity platform, Goel added: ‘I’m very satisfied with the Mark Andy 2200 press and its printing capabilities. The purpose of our investment in the new Mark Andy press is two-fold. One, we wanted to invest in the latest technology for high-quality production of labels and second is providing value added services to our customers.’

Gourav Roy, Flexo Image Graphics managing director, said: ‘The Mark Andy 2200 is the converting system of preference at a price that makes sense, for those especially who are new entrants in the market. The Mark Andy 2200 was the first narrow web press to incorporate the revolutionary QC quick change inking system.

‘Today, the 2200 is still the high demand press with a versatility that allows it to be used for a wide variety of converting applications employing pressure-sensitive stock, paper, foil, gummed stock, heat seal material, lightweight tag and data processing stock, plus it can print both sides of the web in a single pass.’

Goel concluded: 'I’ve known Mark Andy for a long time and always judged it a serious and modern company with a special dedication to innovation in presses. But this is the first time we have gone for it. This is just the start of a close cooperation with Flexo Image Graphics and Mark Andy. We look forward to adding some new installations as the demands for the label and packaging markets in our fold increases.’
