It is a complex integration of foiling, movable rotogravure, flexo, and proprietary web paths desired and decided by Sanjeev Sondhi after he had tested his innovative requirements on diverse label presses. It took him almost two years to finalize the exact configurations and attachments that are complex and proprietary in nature.
At 430 mm wide, the press has ten-color flexographic printing stations, a rotogravure printing station, hot foiling, etc. It has a converting section for cartons, labels, flexible packaging, lami-tubes, etc. The press has the capability to handle 12-mic films to 600-mic board. It features fully automatic registration control and is backed by Weldon Celloplast service and application support.

Starting from humble beginnings, Zircon has three production plants covering more than 50,000 sq ft of built-up workspace with two plants in North and one in South India, seven sales offices spread across India, and a 200-plus strong workforce. It has in-house graphic, prepress and platemaking capabilities and is India’s first Esko-certified HD flexo label printing company.
