Rukson Packaging adds second KOMORI
Propels print quality & productivity by adding a Lithrone GL 640+C UV Advance.
“Certainly, print quality
which we get from
this second KOMORI
press is mind blowing.
In addition to quality,
this press is highly user
friendly and cost-effective
when we compare it
to other presses in
its class.” - Gobind K
Panjabi, Director, Rukson
Packaging
Key Notes :
> The KOMORI Lithrone
GL 640+C UV is
the latest in Rukson
Packaging facility.
> The new and their
second KOMORI
press stands out
among others in
terms of its features
and capacities.
> Fully packed with
advanced features
and capacities for
various packaging
applications, the
second KOMORI
has been chosen
especially for MET-
PET cartons.
Navi Mumbai-based Rukson Packaging is a one-stop
packaging convertor now catering finest range of
end products produced using a fleet of ultramodern
machines and equipment comprising two KOMORI
presses. A brand new KOMORI Lithrone GL 640+C
UV Advance at the company’s production facility has
triggered the overall print quality and productivity to a
next level, increasingly satisfying their customers and
end users to the fullest, like never before.
Recalling the company’s early days, Mr Gobind
K Panjabi, Director of Rukson Packaging Pvt Ltd,
narrates, “We started our business in the year 1996
barely using a two-colour offset press. Since then
we have been supplying mono cartons to hosts
of customers dwelled in different sectors. Over
the years, we keep expanding our customer base,
product range, and machine portfolio.”
He adds, “There are certain challenges in the
industry when it comes to maintaining quality in prints
and productivity to fulfil what all new demands we
constantly receive from our customers and end users.
In this respect, we need to regularly enhance our
capability with constant adoptions of newer machines
or technologies, in which the KOMORI Lithrone GL
640+C UV is the latest in our facility.”
He continues, “Our facility is fully equipped with
arrays of pre-press, press, and post-press machines,
but this new and our second KOMORI press stands
out among others in terms of its features and
capacities. First was a KOMORI LS 32 which we
installed around a decade ago. So far so good, we
have been impressed and smitten by the KOMORI
technology alongside the cost-effectiveness of the
two machines we have owned till date.”
On choosing the second KOMORI press, Mr Panjabi
comments, “We have chosen the KOMORI Lithrone
GL 640+C UV especially for MET-PET cartons.
However, this press is fully packed with advanced
features and capacities for various other packaging
applications.” In addition to cartons, Rukson
Packaging also deals in others such as labels,
leaflets, catch covers, calendars, etc. for hosts of
customers dotted in sectors like pharmaceuticals,
FMCG, and food industries.
According to Mr Panjabi, quality of prints from
KOMORI Lithrone GL 640+C UV is comparable to
industry’s any press. “Certainly, print quality which we
get from this second KOMORI press is mind blowing.
In addition to quality, this press is highly user friendly
and cost-effective when we compare it to other
presses in its class.”
“Furthermore, KOMORI Lithrone GL 640+C UV is
technically a far better and productive press than
many other presses now used by many in the
industry. For example, its registration is really fast
and it’s fully packed with many such advancements.
The team of service engineers from KOMORI India
helped and trained our operators so efficiently to
know, operate, and get the best out of the press. In
future, our growth story will always be with KOMORI,”
concludes Mr Panjabi.

Kurukshetra (Haryana)-based Crazy Offset
serves customers from diverse sectors
and different walks of life, offering them
customised items printed and produced
using a fleet of high-end machines and
equipment. Added new to the fleet of
machines is a PixelGlow Radiant Pro- India’s
1st digital UV & foiling system for print
enhancements alongside a couple of RICOH
digital production presses from Monotech
Systems, machine manufacturer & one-stop
solution provider for the printing & packaging
industry globally.
Crazy Offset Printers’ newly bought
PixelGlow, which is manufactured
indigenously in India by Monotech Systems,
has unique capacities to embellish graphic
prints like anything never done before. “When
it comes to embellishing graphics of our
custom-printed items, we were in need of an
advanced digital system. When we searched
for the same it was the PixelGlow that clicked
all our boxes,” remarks Mr Vijyant Kumar
Bindal, Proprietor of Crazy Offset Printers.
Monotech Systems’ PixelGlow UV and
foiling system is designed & engineered
to embellish graphic prints accurately and
reliably in high speed. Based on variable
dot technology, this printing enhancement
system is designed perfectly with efficient
vacuum suction for flatbed, height
adjustment system, and finally delivering
consistent print quality. Capable of spot UV,
CMYK and WV textures, PixelGlow offers
brilliant graphic communication products with
tangible dimensions.
According to Mr Vijyant, they primarily
engage in customising products as per
demands and desire of their customers. In
this respect, PixelGlow is vital for making the
bespoke items impressive, stand out amid
others, and move ahead of competitors. “We
specifically choose this machine for its cost-
effectiveness. In a way, this ‘Made in India’
machine from Monotech Systems is on par
with any highly expensive imported system,”
he mentions.
PixelGlow is compatible with substrates
larger than A3 size (up to B3 size/ 355x508
mm). The substrates are weighted from
170gsm up to 500gsm with thickness up
to 500microns (0.5mm). In this, varnish
thickness for the materials is up to 240
microns with special varnish ink. This
powerhouse also features advanced 3rd eye
technology for perfect registration. “After all,
we use the PixelGlow to add high impact
effects and textures to graphic prints,” says
Mr Vijyant.
He adds, “We are truly grateful to Monotech
Systems for the PixelGlow and many

other machines which have purchased
from them and productively running in our
pre-press, press, and post-press units. To
mention them, Kodak Sonora process-free
plates, RICOH Pro C7500, and RICOH Pro
8300S are the other key machines we have
purchased from Monotech Systems till date.”
As its name suggests, Crazy Offset Printers
has been an offset printer. Established in
1991 barely with a Chander press, then,
upgraded to offset presses, and currently
digital production presses with print
enhancement systems like PixelGlow for
printing & production of bespoke items
such as fancy wedding cards and others.
Mr Vijyant says all that they have achieved
so far is an outcome of the dedicated team
of Crazy Offset Printers and advanced
machines they own. Currently, the company
is backed by a team of 65 well-trained &
experienced staff. In the business, Mr Vijyant
is joined by his son Mr Vikrant Bindal.
