Rajhans enters flexible packaging with big investment

Since the past few months, Rajhans has unleashed an ambitious plan which includes the acquisition of a five layer extrusion line for film production to extend its operations to serve the flexible packaging market.

Rajhan's investment in 1300mm wide F&K 20SIX CI flexo press is the centrepiece of its packaging blueprint. The CI flexo press is equipped with smartGPS, Bobst’s unique impression and registration setting system. The new press features repeats up to 800mm, and a maximum speed of 400 mtrs/min.

“Ever since its inauguration, our company has constantly drawn strength from a pioneering spirit and a commitment to quality. With the recent investment in flexo printing equipment, we are set for further growth by entering new markets. At the same time, with the acquisition of the F&K 20SIX, we can be sure to deliver the benchmark quality to new markets that Indian print buyers would associate with Rajhans,” said Akash Balachandra, director, Rajhans Enterprises.
