An area of 3,000 sq ft at its facility has been dedicated to label printing, which now houses a 6-color Orthotec CSL3022 letterpress machine installed in December 2013.

Yuno Packaging recorded a turnover of Rs 11 crore in the 2013-14 financial year, with year-on-year growth of 32 percent. The company generates 70 percent of its turnover from exports and 30 percent from the domestic market.

Its existing equipment portfolio includes a Komori Lithrone offset printing press, Bobst folder gluer, and automatic die punching and foil stamping equipment. Yuno Packaging’s labeling division will cater to FMCG, pharma, food and engineering sectors.

Ashok Kumar, director at Yuno Packaging, said: ‘We opted to go with letterpress technology to ensure superior print quality as most of our customers demand solid colors on their labels.’

Yuno Packaging was started in 1998 and is a sister concern of Print Point India. Kumar said: ‘My partner Sadanand Singh and I started this company because we were keen to offer our customers a one-stop shop for their packaging requirements.’
