In Reminiscence

Circa 1982. International Print-O-Pac (IPP) India started off as a dynamic player in India’s fledgling printing & packaging industry, driven, relentlessly, to integrate well on the value chain of the industry. Over the years, through recurring technology acquisitions, study of new niche markets and augmentation of efficiency at every level of the organisation, IPP has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis – a transformation from just a large print-and-packaging company, into a well integrated, conscientious and cost-effective solutions provider

Circa 2004. IPP is one of Asia’s finest printing, packaging and publishing support services organizations today, replete with state-of-the-art production facilities that reflect the excellence of ISO 9001:2000 on every front. Today, IPP epitomizes technological dexterity, high caliber human asset and passion for perfection, as it continues to deliver high quality with speed, consistency and cost-effectiveness every time.

The plant is spread over 32,500 sq. metres in NOIDA (New Delhi), located in the vicinity of major road and air cargo terminals of the national capital region. It is India’s largest single location integrated plant, housing an infrastructure that’s at par with the leading printing & packaging set-ups of the world.

The Strengths

• The People - More than 250 technically qualified specialists of IPP, wielding the best equipment & machinery from Germany, Switzerland and Japan, add the global appeal to printing and packaging. It’s their commitment to quality that drives IPP’s journey of excellence.
  
  

• Pre-Press - High-end scanners, systems, Imagesetters and Power Macs complement the Dolev 800 for generating large format output. The Dolev 800 is capable of 8-page imposition with punch, which eliminates the need of manual imposition. Amongst the latest equipment & machinery acquisitions at IPP is the Computer to Plate (CTP), which produces plates with First-Generation dots using FM & AM screening for enhancing the quality and speed of reproduction. IPP is also known for its desktop publishing and design support it provides to its publisher clients.
  
  

• Press - It comprises a veritable fleet of Sheet-fed offset colour machines, including the single, double, four, five, six and eight-colour offset presses from the global leader Man Roland. The 8-colour offset press was India’s first and has to its credit the capability of printing on 3B format using sheet sizes up to 28”x 40” in 4/4 or 8/0 in a single pass. The Press also includes the new Solna Heat Set Web printing equipment for handling large print-runs for magazines, tabloids and the like.

• Digital Printing - Dedicated to producing high-quality billboards, translites & other display applications. Output is available on a variety of substrates in a maximum of 48” width (length, as desired).
  
  

• Design & Page Production - As a part of our drive to provide a more holistic range of services, a new division has been created at IPP for design and page production – called eIPP. In a nutshell, eIPP is a business process outhouse for the publishing industry, dedicated to producing quality books. With eIPP, IPP has taken a leap forward in integration on the printing and packaging value chain, which will help provide a more comprehensive range of services to a more diverse group of customers.
