"It has helped us in producing a new product in the market and we look forward to our association with Hunkeler in the future" said Sudhir Mehta, the director of Mehta Print Arts in Gurgaon. The company was deploying the machine for customised web finishing products, variable data printing and encoding solutions.

Put together, the existing Blueline and Variweb from Hunkeler, Mehta Print has a capacity to produce 10 million pressure sealed mailers per month. "Earlier we did not know these solutions existed in India" is a reaction the Mehtas get when they show their products to prospective customers.

"Since the technology has already been well accepted we are looking at much better penetration in the future" said Arun Gandhi, a partner at Capital Graphic Supplies, who are the dealers of Hunkeler in India. He added: "The machine has been designed to produce integrated labels, integrated, plastified cards, single sheet mailers, RFID applications, direct mailing applications for value addition."

Hunkeler would be present at Ipex 2010 in hall number 19 and stall number C710. The company is planning to show its equipment which would include the folder merger module with combined plow-folding and web-merging, as well as the Variweb and Flyfolder solution.
