Premier Paper Packaging commissions a Bobst VisionFold

The 12-year old packaging printing company operates from a 4,400 sq/metre owned land in Surajpur Industrial Area, which is equipped with a six-colour Heidelberg with online coater, a six- and two-colour Planeta press, die-cutters, folding machines, coaters, folder gluers and cutting machines. In-house conventional printing plate production system produces 50 ps plates per day to feed the presses.

According to Sanjeev Bhargava, director of Premier Paper Packaging, the company wanted to upgrade key pieces of equipment in post-press. “We wanted to gain productivity by adding speed and reliability to our print power. Though an expensive piece of equipment, we opted for Bobst exactly for its qualities,” he said.

A family-owned packaging printing house is a venture of Manesar-based Kumar Printers. Abhinav and Anu are two other members of the Bhargava family, who support Bhargava in day-to-day operations and are responsible for capital instrument purchase and maintenance and finance and accounts respectively.

Recounting the move from Okhla industrial area to Surajpur industrial area, Bhargava said, “This was the only land in our budget on that time so we bought it. Right now we have 48000 sq/feet covered area out of the entire land. Now we have enough area for our future plans.”

The Rs 24-crore packaging printing company converts around 400 ton paper and paper board monthly and has 165 employees on board.
