Day 4 · PRINTPACK India 2019 · Greater Noida · India

PrintPack India 2019 takes place in 5 halls – quite big – and congested when you take into consideration that the organizer IPAMA expect 100.000 visitors. First day (Friday, Feb 1st) was not so crowded but the weekend – it was just amazing how many people attended from all over India. In this film, we walk you through one of the more machines that convert paper into to straws. As I mention the need to get rit of plastic opens up markets for paper-based products – and straws could be made on this machine from Weixin.

In this film ower and CEO Rajan Harjai fra FillFlo also shows how simple his air-flow-packaging machines are – and though he doesn’t tell in the film, the machines are sold from approx. 39.000 IN similar to $545 or 478€.

Tomorrow we will publish the last of our daily films from PrintPack – so stay tuned for that.

As usual, please watch, like, share – and comments – yes, ​please!

So, here we are at Weixin, paper store making company, and basically this is very, very hot because everybody is talking about getting rid of plastic. So, basically with this machine, you have a paper roll, you feed it, and it slides this up to two different rolls. Rolls, you see here, have the width of what is required for making the straws, you can make them thicker or thinner, and I’ll show you in a second how you do that.

So, here you have the rolls that were sliced on the paper just before. You can see that you can even have some that is pre-printed, and it now feeds into the machine where you have an adhesive that actually makes sure that the paper is glued, and then you have a machine that basically turns it around a spine. That actually makes the straw.

This is the trimmer, so that decides the length of the straw, so you can see it cuts a little bit and it transports it to the conveyor, where it’s emptied in a box.

This is an air cushion packaging, it is a protective packaging and goods and all their things. How to use, this is the way to use. This is the way-

This is where the air comes in?

This is an air compressure pipe, to inflate the air bubble. You see?

Yup.

How to inflate. You just start, stop, three buttons inside the machine, it start and stop and pull. Pull that means you can pull the film. Stop, that’s stop, and start. This is the production of the air bubble machine.

At Printpack India 2025, Wayne Beckett from Inkish speaks with Javier Singh, President of IPAMA, about the remarkable growth of the exhibition. With over 600 exhibitors, including 562 offering live demonstrations, this year’s event has surpassed previous editions, reflecting the industry's rapid expansion. Javier Singh attributes this surge in participation to the team’s dedicated efforts in promoting the exhibition and focusing on future growth. Attendance figures are soaring, with an expected 140,000 to 150,000 visitors, putting Printpack India on par with major global events like Drupa. Notably, international visitors have also increased, with 16,000 attendees from countries across Africa, Latin America, the Gulf, Russia, and Asia. As demand continues to rise, expansion plans are already in motion. The venue provider is set to construct new permanent halls, adding 42,000 square meters of space by the next edition, with plans for an additional 25,000 square meters. Despite the event's massive scale, organizers had to turn away 86 exhibitors due to space constraints—something they aim to resolve in 2027. With projections for the next edition targeting 100,000 square meters of exhibition space and up to 200,000 visitors, Printpack India is cementing itself as a premier international printing and packaging trade show. Singh reassures that India is ready to welcome the world, making the event a key destination for global industry professionals. As the show continues to grow, the future of Printpack India looks brighter than ever, with expectations to reach new milestones in 2027.
