Scodix, a provider of digital enhancement solutions for the graphic arts industry, will highlight the business-enhancing capabilities of its family of digital enhancement presses, at PrintPack India 2022 from 26-30 May 2022, at India Expo Centre Greater Noida India.

Showcasing highly detailed, short-run and data-variable personalized projects with tactile applications such as embossing, foil, metallic effects, glitter and crystals, visitors to PrintPack can experience first-hand the superb visual and physical impact of Scodix-enhanced print at our partner’s exclusive Scodix galleries.

Represented by Scodix’s India representative Amritpal Singh Bawa and two distribution partners in the defined market segmentation in India – Insight Communications and Monotech Systems – Scodix will focus on the new generation of Scodix Ultra B2/B1 Digital Enhancement Press 1000’s Series, consisting of six presses, designed for folding carton, publishing, web-2-print, web-2-pack, and commercial and specialty print – including the Scodix flagship Ultra 6000, which accommodates full-size B1 sheets for packaging converters.

Visitors will discover how they can seamlessly and cost-effectively enter the world of digital enhancement. Fully compatible with both B2 and B1 printing presses, a Scodix system can quickly enhance service offerings while safeguarding uptime and crucially, maximizing productivity.

Running all nine Scodix applications, the Scodix Ultra 1000’s series includes the largest gamut of enhancement capabilities in the industry today. These include Scodix Foil, Scodix VDE, Scodix Cast&Cure and Scodix Crystal – replacing the need for separate systems on the production floor. This not only streamlines hardware costs but enables users to strengthen their competitive edge while opening the door to new market segments and wider revenue streams.

Digital enhancement provides an opportunity for printers and packaging converters to set themselves apart in the highly competitive world of print. With pressure growing on brands and creative agencies to innovate for versions of product packaging, and offer sustainable print products, more and more printers and converters are seeing the benefits they can bring to their businesses with digital enhancement,” says Ziki Kuly, Scodix president APJ.

India is one of the fastest-growing markets worldwide and Scodix has recognized and met this growth with increased activity within the region,” says Amritpal Singh Bawa, Scodix India representative, “We design and manufacture products for the digital age that help our customers increase the value of sellable products, reduce waste, save energy and minimize environmental impact, characteristics that are becoming increasingly important for Indian converters.”

2023 promises an interesting ride for print in India

Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. While the print and packaging industries have been resilient in the past 33 months since the pandemic lockdown of 25 March 2020, the commercial printing and newspaper industries have yet to recover their pre-Covid trajectory.

The fragmented commercial printing industry faces substantial challenges as does the newspaper industry. While digital short-run printing and the signage industry seem to be recovering a bit faster, ultimately their growth will also be moderated by the progress of the overall economy. On the other hand book printing exports are doing well but they too face several supply-chain and logistics challenges.

The price of publication papers including newsprint has been high in the past year while availability is diminished by several mills shutting down their publication paper and newsprint machines in the past four years. Indian paper mills are also exporting many types of paper and have raised prices for Indian printers. To some extent, this has helped in the recovery of the digital printing industry with its on-demand short-run and low-wastage paradigm.

Ultimately digital print and other digital channels will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future. For instance, there is no alternative to a rise in textbook consumption but this segment will only reach normality in the next financial year beginning on 1 April 2023.

Thus while the new normal is a moving target and many commercial printers look to diversification, we believe that our target audiences may shift and change. Like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.

Our 2023 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock and reconnect with your potential markets and customers. Print is the glue for the growth of liberal education, new industry, and an emerging economy. We seek your participation in what promises to be an interesting ride.
