VIG Graphics is thrilled to announce the successful installation of the VIG 2400 – 5 Ply Flute Laminator at UKAY Packaging, Mumbai. This powerful addition to UKAY’s production line marks a significant leap in their journey toward enhanced automation, faster output, and world-class quality. With this latest deployment, VIG Graphics reaffirms its position as a trusted partner in India’s corrugated packaging evolution.
The VIG 2400 is built to meet the growing demands of high-volume manufacturers who require not just speed, but reliability, consistency, and minimal downtime. The machine enables seamless lamination of 3-ply and 5-ply boards with utmost precision, critical for manufacturers catering to FMCG, e-commerce, electronics, and heavy-duty packaging industries. With increasing expectations from both end-users and supply chains, upgrading to a system like the VIG 2400 isn’t just smart, it’s necessary.
Why 5 Ply? Why Now?
The rise in demand for stronger, lightweight, and structurally sound corrugated boxes has led to a surge in 5 Ply packaging. These boxes are more durable and resistant to wear, making them ideal for bulk shipping and long-haul logistics. The VIG 2400 is designed specifically for this purpose, allowing manufacturers like UKAY Packaging to produce high-strength 5 Ply sheets with remarkable speed and accuracy.
Beyond strength, 5 Ply packaging supports sustainability goals by reducing material waste through better bonding, fewer rejections, and more reliable runs. With market dynamics shifting rapidly, packaging units can no longer afford machine limitations or production delays. That’s where VIG’s automation solutions step in, to close the gap between output needs and operational capability.
VIG 2400: Features That Make the Difference
Let’s look at what makes the VIG 2400 a stand-out machine:
- Top-tier Speed: The machine can process up to 5000 sheets/hour, keeping production floors active and efficient throughout the day.
- Precision Engineering: ±1.5 mm registration ensures perfect alignment, crucial for high-value clients who demand perfection in packaging.
- Robust Design: Built with a heavy-duty frame and wear-resistant parts, the VIG 2400 requires minimal maintenance and provides maximum uptime.
- Smart Interface: Operators benefit from an intuitive control system with touch-screen displays, automation presets, and quick changeovers.
- Glue Application Mastery: Engineered to apply glue evenly and precisely, which is vital for consistent bonding across high-speed runs.
This set of features isn’t just about machine specs, it’s about real-world impact on production capacity, labor efficiency, and final product quality.
UKAY Packaging: A Strategic Leap
UKAY Packaging’s decision to install the VIG 2400 represents a forward-looking approach toward modernization. As a respected player in the Indian packaging ecosystem, their move toward high-speed automation will enhance turnaround times, reduce manual errors, and improve operational safety.
Their team worked closely with VIG Graphics for the setup and integration process, ensuring that the machine aligned with their existing infrastructure and workflow. Post-installation feedback has already shown measurable improvements in production flow, reduction in waste, and ease of operation for the floor staff.
Driving the Shift to Indian-Made Technology
Traditionally, many large-format lamination machines were imported from China or Europe. With models like the VIG 2400, VIG Graphics is changing that narrative. We are proud to offer “Made-in-India” machinery that not only competes with global brands but exceeds expectations with local service, faster delivery timelines, and a deep understanding of Indian production challenges.
This approach also supports India’s vision of self-reliance in manufacturing (Atmanirbhar Bharat) by reducing dependency on imports and building a robust domestic supply chain. Indian companies can now scale confidently, knowing they have access to world-class technology that’s built and backed locally.
More Than Just a Machine: A Partnership
At VIG Graphics, we believe in more than just delivering machines, we build partnerships. Every installation, including this one at UKAY Packaging, is backed by our end-to-end support: from pre-installation consultation to operator training and after-sales service. It’s this 360° commitment that gives our customers peace of mind and long-term ROI.
The VIG 2400 is not just a machine, it’s a solution that transforms operations, raises production benchmarks, and prepares manufacturers for the future of corrugated packaging. Whether you’re scaling up or optimizing output, this laminator is engineered to deliver.
What’s Next?
As we continue to install high-performance 5 Ply Flute Laminators across India and abroad, our mission remains unchanged: to simplify packaging processes, amplify productivity, and provide machines that manufacturers can rely on, day after day.
If you’re looking to elevate your packaging operations, the time to invest in the VIG 2400 is now.
