Weigang
Hall-Stand: 3D85
The China-based company, represented in India by Global Graphics Machineries, says its presses are tuned to help converters push performance across segments. At the heart of its showcase is the ZJR350G flexo press, which it claims dominates in labels and flexible packaging. The company points to a substrate range of 12-microns to 400-gsm, compatibility with IML and shrink sleeves, and maintenance costs that it says are 30% lower than competitors. Backing this is the ZX320 offset press, positioned as a tool for premium wine labels and short runs where speed and versatility matter most. The company also highlights its UV inkjet solutions, claiming fast turnaround and sustainable output for low-volume jobs. Weigang pitches this line up as a flexo–offset–inkjet trio that offers converters freedom of choice. With Global Graphics Machineries as its Indian partner, the company says it is ready to cut a bigger groove in the local market.

Wink
Hall-Stand: 5E67
