Printcom, a dedicated consumables brand under manrolandGoss India, highlighted its products for the printing and packaging industry at Bharat Print Expo 2025, presenting its entire portfolio for segments such as packaging, commercial, and newspaper printing.

Printcom offers rollers, blankets, and press maintenance products, compatible with different types of printing presses and designed to meet the standards of modern-day printing operations.

Prathmesh Vartak, head of the Printcom division at manrolandGoss India, says the industry increasingly demands precision, efficiency, and qualit,y and as such, the company aims to provide process-compliant materials that enhance press performance and output consistency

Emphasizing the importance of consumables in today’s fast-evolving printing landscape, he said Printcom is a valuable asset for printing and packaging companies. “Our materials are designed to be process-compliant, addressing challenges such as startup waste, density variations, and color stability. We ensure our products support smoother press operations and better print quality.”

The packaging industry grows rapidly because of increasing demand and innovations in product presentation, and Vartak believes Printcom is well-positioned to serve this expanding market. At the same time, the newspaper printing sector, while stable, especially in Southern India, still relies on high-quality, dependable consumables to maintain operational efficiency.

Printcom also provides services such as re-rubberization of rollers and press maintenance support. These services are aimed at extending the life of critical press components and minimizing downtime.

Rekha Sharma, marketing manager at manrolandGoss India, said the company recently expanded its customer base by offering products and maintenance services to packaging, commercial, and newspaper printers, especially across Southern India.

Commenting on the market behavior in the region, Vartak said, “The industry professionals here understand the chemistry behind the products. They carefully evaluate quality, research thoroughly, and make informed investment decisions,” he said.

Vartak pointed out the example of TCPL’s new facility in Vengal, Chennai, as an indicator of the region’s growing demand in the packaging sector. “Big players are now setting up operations in South India because of the strong customer base looking for quality products.”

Growth and development in the printing and packaging industry are directly tied to the availability and quality of machines and consumables. As the industry grows, so does the need for dependable materials that enhance efficiency and print results,” he explained.
