Zhejiang Weigang Technology, a listed company, has become a major global player in label printing, converting, and finishing equipment.

Weigang has exported its machines to over 90 countries in the world, by now having sold over 3000 sets of semi-rotary / intermittent web-offset presses and 500 sets of modular in-line shaftless servo flexo presses with innovative sleeve technology globally.

The Weigang ZJR-450G flexo printing machine is a versatile machine with modern design, having unique print sleeves system which eliminates the gears from the printing unit, thereby giving superior printing result while the light-weighted print sleeves also facilitate easy handling, storage and changeovers. Equipped with dual European servo motors on each printing unit, the machine is suitable for running in 2nd pass with an accurate register. Cold foil stamping attachment with its noteworthy foil-saving mechanism coupled with multi-layer lamination as well as auto-switchover from hot air dryer to IR drying as per job curing requirements, enhances the value proposition of this 10-colour machine.

Flen Labels, part of the conglomerate, Fortune Labels Enterprise group, is a leading label producer and exporter of speciality labels and packaging. Apart from the printing on regular substrates like paper, PVC, BOPP, PET & PE, metalised paper; Flen Labels has expertise in printing shrink sleeves, lamitubes, in-mould labels, duplex boards with distinctive features and embellishments. IML has been a forte of the company.

“We made a head start into the label printing industry with Weigang machines more than a decade ago, and gratified with the decision. The support services from Global Graphics has been unpinning and awe-inspiring. Our Weigang ZJR-350G Flexo Press is a production work-horse running at around 150-m/min for most of our jobs,” Akshat Bapna of Fortune Labels Enterprise group, said.

Nishal Dapki of Fortune Labels Enterprise group, added, “Our journey with the Weigang ZJR-350G flexo press with its distinguishing print sleeves system, has been plain sailing and fantabulous. We are aggressive on the in-mould labels and a 10-colour flexo press in 450-mm width was a desideratum. Thus, when we were scouting for another flexo machine, we didn’t have to reinvent the wheel and the decision to go with Weigang was much-obvious.”

Nalin Sharma, Director, Global Graphics Machineries, said, “We are thankful to Fortune Labels group for their unwavering loyalty and unflinching patronage to Weigang’s flexographic printing machines. They’ve made a good choice to augment their capacity and create newer capabilities with the 450-mm width Weigang flexo press as they propel forward into the growing IML segment.”
