Gurgaon-based Grand Prints, a food carton printing and pharmaceutical packaging company, has invested in an automatic folder-gluer from Robus India, and opted for a Baumer HHS glue system.
Dr Rohin Anhal, CEO, Grand Prints, said, “We bought the machine in February. We want to cater to all sorts of requirements in the packaging sector, and the folder-gluer enables just that.”
Grand Print works primarily in pharmaceutical packaging. It is working towards expanding its customer base, now catering to FMCG products, carton packaging and custom-based packaging.
This is Grand Prints’ second Robus machine. The first was purchased in 2021, which was of a smaller format. “Robus is brilliant at asymmetrical patterns, which is what Grand Prints wants to diversify into,” Anhal said. “We want to understand all of our customers’ different formats. That’s why, at Grand Prints, we look not just at pre-press but post-press as well. From plates, to the final product.”
The company has expanded into a 40-inch format, comprising die-cutting, post-press and finishing. The Robus machine enables it to run smaller patterns or smaller widths, even though the size of the machine is much larger, which enables it to make boxes for products such as eye drops.
“The cost of ownership of the Robus machine is also comparatively lower than top-tier brands, albeit offering almost the same amount of flexibility,” Anhal said. “We can currently save memory for about 5000 jobs and it is possible to increase the number.”
