The six-colour UV KBA Rapida 105 is used by Surya to print CMYK and two special colors for their biscuit packs. "One of the special colors is our base of operations colour which could be blue, dark-brown or orange and the other nosotros use for our logo," says Prasad. In add-on to the Bobst Novacut 106 for diecutting, the Bobst Lila 106 A2 folder-gluer can produce both straight line and crash lock bottom boxes.

"We may require one more diecutter when the 105 KBA runs at total speed and at full capacity. Currently our monthly requirement is about 12 to 15 lakh sheets, which we can easily produce by running the KBA for a single shift and the diecutter in two shifts if necessary in situations of top demand," says Dinesh Prasad, found director, Packaging Sectionalization at Surya Fresh Foods. "Nosotros produce boxes of half dozen to 7 sizes as per our requirements," Prasad adds, "and the lack of consistency in quality was a major hurting area. This led us to set upwardly this in-business firm packaging unit."
