The installation is expected to help TCPL drive printing efficiencies as they venture into the flexible packaging space.

“TCPL has a successful history of product performance and service support with QuadTech, so we specifically chose QuadTech over other possible suppliers. We are now using additional solutions from the QuadTech product portfolio and they are our supplier of choice for colour and inspection technologies,” said Biswadip Naha, plant manager of TCPL.

In addition to the inspection system, TCPL has also procured Data Central, PDF verification, waste management and web viewing systems from QuadTech thereby equipping the company with a complete defect management workflow.

“Our most recent investment will continue to ensure that quality and dependability is maintained while dramatically reducing waste and above all safeguarding our reputation for packaging excellence,” added Naha.

TCPL’s first QuadTech solution was their Autotron Register Guidance System dating back to 1990. The inspection system and the suite of solutions have been installed to support TCPL’s newest rotogravure press, a Bobst Rotomac 4003, which will enable the company to print tipping papers for the tobacco market, and to print on flexible materials.

“We were delighted that TCPL chose to continue working with QuadTech to support their expansion into flexible packaging. Not only does it clearly acknowledge our technology capabilities but it also demonstrates that as printing industry leaders we help to support significant business growth,” Amit Desai, area sales manager for India, QuadTech.

This is QuadTech’s second major deal in India in the last four months with Malayalam Manorama being the previous one.
