Sustainable flexible packaging – gravure print on polyethyleneSB Packaging walks the talkSB Packaging's modern plant near Delhi is on the way to Rohtak in Haryana. When nosotros reported on the plant in 2022 it had all the components – blown flick lines, a Bobst-Schiavi CI flexo press, an Expert eight-colour gravure printing and a Bobst-Schiavi solventless laminator but it was still emerging from difficult times. The company has grown fast in the past three years equally it completes the implementation of a modernization strategy focussed on producing high value and sustainable packaging price-effectively. The now debt-costless visitor is mindful of its own financial sustainability every bit well.Personal intendance and food packaging produced by SB Packaging. Photo PSAPolyethylene is sustainable
Although SB Packaging still does what it would describe as article packaging and provides packaging cloth in roll form, 80% or more of its piece of work at present consists in supplying special application pouches, numberless and materials for the personal care and food industry. The visitor champions the use of polyethylene (PE) which it can produce in very close tolerances on its new 3-layer internal bubble cooling (IBC) Windsor diddled motion-picture show line configured with special dozing and precision thickness and temperature control systems from the US-based Conair.

Conair's precise dozing organization and its sophisticated controls on the internal chimera cooling (with two independent chilling systems) means that the 3-layer co-extruded polyethylene can be a high quality clear and precision thickness moving-picture show as thin as xx microns. Amit Banga, CEO, SB Packaging, says, "The production of high quality depression thickness single polymer films goes a long way in packaging film sustainability. You lot tin tick the boxes on 2 of the three R's – Reduce, Recycle and Re-use – firstly you Reduce by light-weighting the picture show; and secondly y'all brand it piece of cake to Recycle because a unmarried co-extruded PE flick is inherently more recyclable – in fact even printed PE flake fetches several times the toll of other flexible laminates. Scrap dealers are happy to come to our plant to sort and pick up the printed and un-printed scrap."

Pushing the envelope with gravure
Banga says that SB Packaging did not buy the new Indian fabricated 9-color Kohli Industries gravure press on toll solitary, "Nosotros starting time narrowed down the suppliers that were 'flexible' – ready to help united states contain and endeavor out some of our innovative ideas and needs. Nosotros wanted a gravure press that could print on 20 micron PE and fifty-fifty lower thickness extensible materials particularly polyethylene and we needed a slightly wider one.4 metre-width gravure printing that fabricated the packaging for the products we had in mind cost-effective, while keeping us profitable." Kohli was the about acquiescent to innovative changes and trials and ready to suitably modify the organisation to produce loftier quality on sparse extensible substrates together with incorporating the appropriate automation features including an EcoAxis registration system. SB'due south technology strategy seems to take gained traction in the industry and Kohli has been able to sell a couple of more presses in similar configurations.

Sustainable inputs
Banga is not looking to compete with the majority of low price producers of unmarried commodity flexible packaging. Specializing in supplying to global manufacturers of personal care, food and FMCG products in India and their exports to developed markets, he wants the customized pouches and bags that SB Packaging makes, to be used on high speed automated packaging lines – non just make full and seal just specially the pick and seal lines used by global brands for their personal intendance and hygiene products. The visitor rarely supplies rolls of packaging material, preferring to supply batches of numberless produced on its Forty and Mamta converting machines that incorporate suitable components for both manual and automated choice and seal lines.
