Vishwakarma attributed this interest to the technical capabilities of their equipment, specifically the precision of foil stamping and embossing. He noted that prominent industry players, including York Printers, Pragati, Vijayshree, Ravi Printer, and MH Containers, have integrated Robus India machines into their production facilities.
The company showcased its latest packaging innovation, the Boxstream, at the show. Prem Vishwakarma, managing director of Robus India, confirmed that the company has applied for a patent for the machine, which he described as a unique concept in the global market designed specifically for eCommerce, ice-cream, and beverage box production.
The Boxstream is categorised by the company as a micro FFG (folder-gluer) system. While traditional flexo folder-gluers (FFG) are used by corrugated box manufacturers to process boards through printing, die-cutting, folding, and delivery in a single line, Vishwakarma noted that the BoxStream is engineered to handle smaller, intricate boxes that larger machines cannot process efficiently.
According to Vishwakarma, the development of the machine was prompted by feedback from customers serving eCommerce giants like Amazon. He explained that many converters face low margins due to high labour requirements and excessive wastage. By implementing the Boxstream, Vishwakarma stated that labour requirements for certain production lines can be reduced from 60 people to five, while production speeds increase by approximately 60% to 70% compared to traditional methods.
Beyond machinery, the company utilised the exhibition to consult with visitors on financial optimisations for capital investments. Vishwakarma highlighted that many Indian converters remain unaware of government schemes that allow for the adjustment of GST and import duties, potentially saving investors up to 27% on equipment costs. He cited a recent example where a client saved INR 9.45-crore through these provisions on a printing machine project.
Following the reception at Pamex, Vishwakarma announced plans for a larger presence at the upcoming Printpack exhibition. The company intends to launch a megastore concept, replicating its international showcase at Drupa, which will feature a complete integrated production line, including die-cutting and blanking systems.
