Sai Paks invests in Rhyguan for its cost-effectiveness
Pune-based Sai Paks recently invested in a Rhyguan SMART-450 slitter-rewinder with Luster 100% inspection camera. The machine was supplied and installed by Flexo Image Graphics (FIG), distributor and service provider of flexo presses and associated equipment from Rhyguan, Mark Andy, Rotoflex, Luster, Kluge, KDS Quantum, Presstek, and others in India.

Formerly called Sai Arts, Sai Paks was incorporated in 1991. “We started from scratch, engaging in manual screen printing at the outset,” Deepan Samarth, managing director of Sai Paks, said. “Since then we never remained idle in upgrading machine portfolio and boosting business to the next level.”
Samarth is joined by his two sons in the business — Tejas and Tushar Samarth — as directors.
The current machine portfolios at the two production facilities of Sai Paks at Chinchwad and Talawde in Pune consist of offset presses from Heidelberg and Shinohara, a flexo press from Zonten, rotogravure presses from Sanmach, Mark Andy from FIG, and others.
Among these, the Rhyguan Smart-450 is one of the key machines running efficiently for the post-press process. “We opted for this cutting-edge Rhyguan slitting and rewinding machine from FIG for its cost-effectiveness,” Samarth said.
He added, “We would rather say Rhyguan Smart-450 is economical as we never worried about its ROI. This 100% inspection slitter-rewinder machine with a capacity to re-inspect up to 300-m/min is reasonably priced compared to others in its class. In addition to its cost-effectiveness, Rhyguan Smart-450 is packed with advanced features, which every standard slitter-rewinder must have.”
With choices of web widths, viz 330-, 450- and 520-mm, Rhyguan Smart-450 is based on advanced servo technology which provides perfect web control with separately adjustable web tension for the unwind and rewind sections. It’s versatile enough to take up a broad range of materials and applications.
Samarth said Rhyguan Smart-450 is not the first machine from FIG at Sai Paks. “Around eight years ago, we brought Pune’s first Mark Andy Performance Series P5 press from FIG along with a Rotoflex slitter-rewinder.”
Sai Paks’ success is an outcome of its years of commitment accompanied by its fleet of high-end machines and equipment. The company has been recognised with multiple accolades including Global Print Excellence Awards 2023, National Awards for Excellence in Printing 2019 & 2023, LMAI Label Awards 2022, PrintWeek Awards 2022 & 2023 (Innovative Printer of the Year), among others, in recognition of its outstanding works and services.
“After all, we would like to say a big thank you to FIG for the machines and the unprecedented after-sales support. We further look forward to getting more machines and support from FIG,” Samarth said.
FIG supports its customers through a centralised Customer Support Department connecting across its head office in Delhi and branches in Mumbai and Chennai.
