Redington Partners With Anytron

Redington has entered into a partnership with Anytron to expand its digital printing portfolio in India by adding label finishing equipment to its offering.

The agreement will see Redington integrate Anytron's finishing systems with its existing digital printing portfolio, including HP Indigo presses. The product range includes lamination, die-cutting, slitting, trimming, and rewinding equipment for label production.

According to the companies, the partnership is intended to support print businesses seeking integrated digital production workflows for short-run and customised label applications.

The addition of finishing equipment expands Redington's offering beyond digital print engines, enabling customers to source printing and finishing solutions through a single supplier.

KS Ramesh, vice president of digital printing at Redington, said demand for shorter production runs, faster delivery schedules, and customised applications is driving the adoption of integrated digital workflows in the label and packaging sector.

"As the label and packaging industry continues to move towards shorter runs alongside faster delivery timelines and greater customisation, the need for integrated digital workflows is becoming increasingly important," Ramesh said.

Michael Hyun, chief executive officer of Anytron, said the partnership would provide a range of finishing solutions for different production requirements, from entry-level systems to in-line production equipment.

Redington plans to use its service network to supply the systems across India, including tier-II and tier-III markets, where converters are increasing investment in digital printing technologies.

The partnership reflects continued investment in digital label production as converters adopt workflows designed to support shorter runs, variable data printing, and reduced turnaround times.
