Datta Falsundar, managing director at Aarya, speaking to PrintWeek at the Vinsak stand, said that the new investment in Lombardi Synchroline gives his company speed and additional abilities to produce more labels, with embellishment.

The new Lombardi Synchroline 430 is an eight-colour press with two die-cut units, a foil and relam-delam.

Prior to the new investment, the company produced labels using a Chinese flexo press. “The old press had its limitation. At 30-mt/min, it was slow. It did not have foil station, which meant we just produce ordinary labels. As a result, we had to decline label jobs which required foiling,” said Falsundar.

As a result of the new investment, the company which used to produce just 2-lakh sqm per month, today produces 6-lakh sqm, since it installed the new flexo press in November 2019. “The Lombardi’s speed and inline foiling and die-cutting has meant that we have upped our produce three times over,” concluded Falsunder.
