Zhongke India closes multiple orders across segments at Pamex

Zhongke India wrapped up Pamex with four confirmed orders for multiple machines from leading packaging converters, including a five-die-cutter installation for Canpac Trends, repeat investments from Vijayshri Packaging, and a litho-laminator deal with COPL, underscoring strong post-press demand driven by corrugated and high-value carton applications

Zhongke India concluded Pamex 2026 with a strong slate of confirmed orders across corrugated, carton and litho-lamination segments, reinforcing its position as a key supplier of end-to-end packaging solutions in the Indian market.

The largest deal of the exhibition came from Canpac Trends, which finalised an agreement for five sets of Zhongke die-cutters to support its expanding corrugated operations. The machines are engineered to process both three-ply and five-ply corrugated jobs and will be deployed across Canpac’s growing manufacturing footprint.

“This configuration will help eliminate common bottlenecks in corrugated production, ensuring faster production and precision for increasingly complex structural designs,” said Rohit Rajpal, director of Zhongke India, referring to Canpac’s choice of a bottom suction feeder configuration.
The investment aligns with Canpac’s broader expansion roadmap, which includes new facilities in Noida and Hyderabad and an upcoming greenfield plant in Indore. The additional die-cutting capacity will be integrated into the company’s seven-unit production network to support its reported 21% compound annual growth rate and meet rising demand from the ecommerce and consumer goods sectors.

Zhongke India also strengthened its long-standing relationship with Vijayshri Packaging, which placed orders for both a die-cutter and a window patching machine at the show. Indore-based Vijayshri Packaging invested in its eighth Wenhong die-cutter, opting for the WH-1050SS model with an integrated stripping system. The WH-1050SS, which was a centrepiece of Zhongke’s Pamex showcase, is designed for faster make-ready and higher shopfloor productivity, with a rated speed of up to 9,000 sheets per hour. The machine is positioned for long-run industrial applications across monocartons and corrugated packaging. In addition, Vijayshri Packaging ordered a high-speed window patching machine capable of operating at speeds of up to 33,000 sheets per hour, further enhancing its capacity for large-volume carton production.

Another key post-press investment came from COPL, which finalised the purchase of a Wenhong litho laminator during the exhibition. The system is equipped with a dual registration mechanism designed to ensure precise alignment between printed top sheets and corrugated substrates, addressing the growing demand for high-quality litho-laminated packaging.

Beyond individual deals, Zhongke India used Pamex 2026 to underline its positioning as a comprehensive packaging solutions provider. The company showcased integrated production lines covering mono cartons, rigid boxes, coloured fluted cartons and fibre-moulded packaging. “With a vast and diverse portfolio, we position ourselves as a one-stop solution provider, enabling customers to source the entire packaging production line under one roof — from core machinery to value-added finishing solutions,” Rajpal said.

The company’s exhibition focus centred on automation, precision engineering, productivity and after-sales support, with equipment on display including automatic rigid box machines, high-speed dry laminators with hot knife separation, multi-functional case-making systems, flute laminators, window patching machines with V-notching, and high-speed die-cutters. As Pamex 2026 concluded, Zhongke India’s post-show order book reflected sustained investment momentum from Indian packaging converters looking to scale capacity, improve efficiency and support increasingly complex packaging formats.
