Tinsukia-based printer, with over two decades of growth behind it, enters organised mono carton manufacturing and upgrades prepress with Kodak technology, marking a significant step forward for print and packaging in the North-East.
The Assam Packaging Industry, based in Tinsukia, Upper Assam, has commissioned the Kodak CTP system at its production facility a move that underlines the company’s continued push towards quality output and prepress efficiency. Alongside this, the company has launched Assam Packaging Industry, described as one of the first organised mono carton manufacturing units in the Upper Assam region.
The Kodak CTP installation was commissioned by Insight, and the company reports a marked improvement in dot quality, output consistency, and workflow speed. Production is currently running between 175 and 210 LPI for commercial applications including magazines, calendars, book covers, and promotional print jobs, using Kodak Sonora Plates.
Rajarshi Gogoi, Managing Partner, The Assam Packaging Industry, said “In this industry, service support matters as much as technology. You can buy a machine from anywhere, but proper technical guidance and after-sales support make the real difference over time.”
The company traces its roots to 1978, when Late Hemo Kumar Gogoi — a Printing Technology graduate from Jadavpur University and former Production In-Charge at The Statesman in Kolkata — established Assam Paper Industry at Borguri Industrial Estate. The enterprise ran until financial pressures led to its closure in 1997.
In 2001, a 19-year-old Rajarshi Gogoi revived operations from the same premises, without external investment or an established workforce. That decision, over 25 years, has shaped Assam Packaging Industry into one of the more recognised printing operations in Upper Assam.
