Holoflex plans to enhance its legacy of excellence with this new Weigang ZM-320 semi-rotary / intermittent die-cutting machine acquisition. The new capabilities will allow Holoflex to offer tailored security solutions that reflect the unique identity of each brand it serves. 

Since 1991, Holoflex has protected brand reputation and enhanced packaging aesthetics with holographic and security printed effects. Holoflex has set the standard in brand protection for over 30 years. This longstanding commitment is rooted in delivering high-quality solutions that create a lasting impression while safeguarding brand integrity.

Manoj Kochar, director, Holoflex, said, “In line with the Holoflex legacy, we are acquiring Weigang’s advanced ZM-320 converting and finishing equipment which will further enhance our ability to deliver precise, customisable solutions with increased efficiency. This strategic investment underscores Holoflex's dedication to innovation, quality and excellence, and ensuring that clients benefit from both enhanced security and a visually captivating packaging experience.”

“Weigang machines find their place with the prominent Indian label and hologram converters. Weigang's ZM-320 intermittent / semi-rotary die-cutting and finishing machine has been installed with leading security printers in India, including Holostik, Shriram Veritech, Jupiter Technologies, Kumbhat Holographics, and others. Considering the successful performance of this machine with their contemporaries, for Holoflex it was a decision, as easy as pie,” said Nalin Sharma, director, Global Graphics Machineries.

Zhejiang Weigang Technology is a stock market-listed company under the symbol, SZ 001256 and has evolved as a major global player for label printing, converting and finishing equipment. Weigang has a sophisticated plant employing a workforce of around 400 people. 

The company has around 1,200+ installations and 350+ customers in nearly 80 different locations in India.

Weigang builds full rotary as well as intermittent UV offset label presses and flexographic label printing machines, both full servo modular in-line with sleeve technology as well as tower/stack type presses, digital printing machines and silk screen printing machines for the roll-to-roll printing applications. The web-fed converting and finishing machines manufactured by Weigang include the flatbed die-cutting machines apart from converting, finishing and slitting/inspection machines.

The ZM series of Weigang's intermittent die-cutting machines are driven by the German Rexroth-Bosch servo systems featuring pneumatic roll lifter, load-cell based web tension control systems from Japanese Mitsubishi brand, ‘patented registered die-cutting unit’ with American Rotometrics magnetic cylinder and anvil roller. The machine facilitates second pass die-punching in the register without changing the magnetic cylinder tools due to the semi-rotary technology. The software allows die-cutting precisely in MM providing an added advantage, instead of the repeat length corresponding to the teeth size which is typically followed in other technologies. This equipment can be custom-built in a combination of 15 different inline functions for the digital finishing machine and is also used for IML die-cutting.
