Jindal Films has announced it has joined the HP Indigo Pack Ready Lamination Program. Jindal Films manufactures specialty oriented polypropylene (OPP) and PET films, including multi-layer white opaque, metalized and a rich portfolio of water-based coated films. The company has a portfolio of brands that, by delivering outstanding food protection and matching the performance and efficiency needs of highly automated packaging lines, have made it successful across the globe in the flexible food packaging industry.

To provide enhanced protection and performance, Jindal Films applies specific food contact approved water based coatings on OPP using a high speed wide web continuous coating process. The formulation of these specific coatings is tailored to deliver the level of protection and performance required by each application in various market segments like biscuits, confectionary, snacks, cake, chocolate, dry tea, tobacco, dry powder .

Focused on developing solutions that anticipate market needs for digital printing technologies, Jindal Films introduced a specific new brand, DigilyteT, at Dscoop Tel Aviv April 2016.  Designed specifically for HP Indigo Digital Presses and end users, Digilyte films offer a combination of the three fundamental requirements for food packaging:  protection, packaging line performance, and printability on HP Indigo Digital Presses.

Digilyte films offer a range of benefits tailored to the needs of end users.  Converters can print directly onto the surface of the films using electro ink with excellent adhesion which has a certified 3 stars ranking from HP and, of course, food contact compliance.

The new Pack Ready laminator, combined with Jindal Films developmental films, is designed to deliver immediate bonding without the need for adhesives. The result is a solvent-less environmental friendly process without adhesive, and without curing time. Multiple packaging structure designs can be achieved by encapsulating the inks in between films.

“With a long history of working with HP Indigo, the recent launch of the DigilyteT range and our commitment to the Pack Ready program is a demonstration of our trust and vision in offering the food packaging industry the additional benefits of digital printing,” said Mirek Tokaj , Europe Middle East Africa & Asia Pacific Sales and Marketing Director, Jindal Films.

Jindal Films will present its DigilyteT range at Drupa 2016 alongside HP’s packaging portfolio in HP Hall 17 of the Dusseldorf Messe.
