Holoflex books Weigang machines at Labelexpo India 2024

India-based Holoflex has bought multiple Weigang finishing and converting machines from Global Graphics Machineries, at Labelexpo India 2024. Holoflex invested in a fully servo-driven shaftless ZM-320 semi-rotary/intermittent die-cutting machine with its patented register die-cutting system and DK-450 slitting machines.  

Weigang has done over 1200 installations in the country within 25 years of its establishment in India. The ZM series are intermittent die-cutting machines, driven by German Rexroth-Bosch servo systems. It features pneumatic roll lifters, load-cell-based web tension control systems from Mitsubishi, patented die-cutting units, Rotometrics’ magnetic cylinder and anvil rollers. Due to the semi-rotary technology, the machine facilitates second-pass die-punching in register without changing the magnetic cylinder tools. The software allows die-cutting precisely in millimeters providing an added advantage. The equipment can be custom-built with 15 different in-line functions for the digital finishing machine and used for IML die-cutting. 

According to Holoflex, the new machines will allow it to offer tailored security solutions that reflect the unique identity of each brand it serves. Established in 1991, Holoflex manufactures holograms and allied products for brand protection and security. 

Manoj Kochar, director, Holoflex said: ‘In line with the Holoflex legacy, we are acquiring Weigang’s advanced ZM-320 converting and finishing equipment which will further enhance our ability to deliver precise, customizable solutions with increased efficiency. This strategic investment underscores Holoflex's dedication to innovation, quality and excellence and ensures that clients benefit from enhanced security and a visually captivating packaging experience.’

Adding to it, Nalin Sharma, director, Global Graphics Machineries, said: ‘Weigang machines find place with prominent Indian label and hologram converters. Weigang's ZM-320 intermittent/semi-rotary die-cutting and finishing machine has been installed with leading security printers in India including Holostik, Shriram Veritech, Jupiter Technologies, Kumbhat Holographics and others. Considering the successful performance of this machine with its contemporaries, it was a quick decision for Holoflex.’
