How Model 1450 is Powering a New Era in Corrugated Packaging
In India’s fast-evolving packaging industry, few regions have demonstrated resilience and reinvention quite like Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu. Known originally for its dominance in firecracker and offset printing industries, Sivakasi has grown into a formidable hub for corrugated packaging and printing excellence. With businesses adapting rapidly to new technologies, the region has become a magnet for modern packaging machinery, and most recently, it welcomed a transformative addition.
In a significant development for both the customer and the industry, the NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator – Model 1450 was successfully installed at one of Sivakasi’s leading corrugated packaging facilities. The installation reflects not just a step forward for one company, but a glimpse into the future of packaging automation in India.
The corrugated box industry has witnessed a dynamic shift in recent years. With the exponential rise in e-commerce, consumer goods, electronics, and export packaging, the demand for five-ply boxes has skyrocketed. These boxes are preferred for their strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for shipping heavier goods.
However, producing high-quality five-ply sheets consistently and at scale requires more than just manual expertise, it demands technological excellence. That’s where the NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator plays a critical role.
Inside the Machine: Engineering That Delivers Results
The NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator – Model 1450 is the result of years of research, experience, and a deep understanding of Indian manufacturing challenges. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this machine such a game-changer:
- Precision-Focused Design
With advanced mechanical alignment and adjustable pressure systems, the machine ensures perfect bonding of five-layer sheets, which is critical for product strength and visual finish.
- High-Speed Belt Feeding System
Capable of handling large sheet sizes at high speeds, this system ensures a smooth, continuous flow of material, eliminating manual feeding and reducing labor dependency.
- Automatic Glue Control
Equipped with a smart gluing mechanism, the NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator automatically adjusts glue levels based on speed and sheet size, reducing wastage and improving bonding reliability.
- Rigid Frame & Industrial Build
The structure is built from heavy-duty steel, making it capable of withstanding the pressures of 24×7 operation. Designed for Indian factory conditions, including dust, heat, and humidity, this machine is made to last.
- Ergonomic & Intuitive Interface
Operators can easily manage changeovers, monitor performance, and adjust settings via a user-friendly control panel. This minimizes the learning curve and increases overall uptime.
Installation Spotlight: Efficiency in Action at Sivakasi
The installation at the Sivakasi unit was a collaborative success between the customer and the VIG technical team. Every phase, from planning and equipment layout to wiring, testing, and training, was conducted with precision. Within days, the machine was live and integrated into the customer’s production line.
The plant had been facing limitations with older-generation lamination setups that required high operator involvement, frequent stoppages, and inconsistent sheet alignment. With the NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator, these issues were immediately addressed. The result? Higher throughput, reduced waste, and enhanced product quality.
Operators shared that the most noticeable difference was the ease of operation and the consistency in sheet alignment, even during long production runs. Maintenance staff appreciated the accessibility of core components, making cleaning and inspections much simpler.
What differentiates NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator from many others in the industry is its end-to-end commitment to customer success. From pre-installation consultation to after-sales support, every customer receives personalized attention.
For the Sivakasi customer, NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator provided:
- On-site installation and commissioning by certified engineers
- Operator and technician training sessions
- Spare parts availability planning
- Post-installation follow-ups to fine-tune machine performance
This partnership approach has helped customers feel confident in investing in new technology, especially when transitioning from semi-automatic or manual operations.
India’s packaging sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 9% in the coming years, with corrugated packaging leading the charge. As packaging becomes more integral to brand identity, logistics, and consumer experience, manufacturers are under pressure to deliver more boxes, faster, and with higher quality control.
Machines like the NAGJAN-VIG Graphics 5 Ply Flute Laminator address this exact challenge. They allow medium and large manufacturers to:
- Scale up operations
