Sagar Scan bolsters Eastern India’s flexo scene with Flexcel NX from Miraclon
In July 2025, Sagar Scan unveiled a new flexo-only production hub in Kolkata, powered by a Flexcel NX Wide 4260 System from Miraclon, installed by Monotech Systems. This move solidifies Sagar Scan’s position as a leading flexo pre-press provider in Eastern India, where flexographic printing is experiencing significant growth, driven by the demand for high-quality packaging in West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, and Jharkhand.

“We’re thrilled to bring modern flexo to Eastern India, a region ripe with opportunity,” said Subodh Gupta, managing director of Sagar Scan.
Established in Patna in 1988, the company has long excelled in gravure and offset prepress, and its 2023 acquisition of Kolkata’s Fine Flexo marked a pivotal shift to flexo. “With this investment, we’ve become a holistic pre-press solutions provider, ready to meet the region’s growing needs,” Gupta added.
The rise of flexo in Eastern India, spurred by new press installations, reflects its edge over offset. “Flexo’s automation and consistent results across short and long runs make it a go-to for printers diversifying into packaging, especially with skilled labour in short supply,” Gupta explained. The region’s booming eCommerce and export markets further drive demand for reliable, high-quality solutions.
The Flexcel NX system equips Sagar Scan to deliver top-tier flexo plates. “Our customers now have access to the best flexo technology, ensuring precision and efficiency even for complex jobs,” Gupta said.
Miraclon’s Amit Koul, sales manager for North and East India, echoed this: “The Flexcel NX Wide 4260 cuts press stoppages, boosts speeds, and supports sustainability, simplifying workflows for everyone in the packaging chain.”
As India’s print sector embraces eco-friendly innovation, Sagar Scan’s investment positions it to lead Eastern India’s flexo revolution. “We’re here to grow alongside the region’s printers, helping them maximise modern flexo’s benefits,” Gupta affirmed.
