Short-to-long run adaptability, quick job changeovers & VDP made KolorSmart+ a perfect fit for Holosafe’s evolving needs.
Holosafe Security Labels, manufacturer of high-security labelling solutions specializing in holograms, has expanded its production capabilities by installing the state-of-the-art JETSCI KolorSmart+ UV Inkjet Label Press. The system, designed and manufactured in India by Monotech Systems, will support Holosafe’s growing demand for advanced, high-quality, and secure labelling solutions.
Equipped with a UV pre-flexo unit for coating, priming, or spot colour application, the KolorSmart+ supports up to six digital colour channels (W+CMYK+O) and handles substrates up to 350mm wide. It leverages high-opacity UV LED-curable inks and offers a generous 5-litre ink tank capacity for sustained performance during long production runs.
Holosafe, traditionally a holography-focused enterprise, has successfully integrated flexographic label printing into its operations, leveraging this dual capability to offer unique, tamper-evident and visually distinctive packaging. Today, the company caters to diverse sectors including FMCG, pharmaceuticals, and alcohol and beverage industries, with plans to strengthen its presence in cosmetic and consumer markets.
“We wanted to print serial data and QR codes. Monotech enables this in four colours and different printing patterns. This is something that we wanted to enable in our packaging to make it smarter,” said Preeti Mishra, Manager, Business Development at Holosafe.
She further noted, “Additionally, regulations in the Western world require products to have a digital passport where one can track the ingredients and the recyclability. This may occur through a QR code or RFID. This is why we have invested in the Jetsci KolorSmart+ to embed the QR codes to gain access to this sort of data. Also with recent startup growth, we saw these brands often require short runs with high customization, and that’s where the KolorSmart+ gives us a significant edge.”
The KolorSmart+ supports Holosafe’s foray into smart packaging with embedded variable data, critical for authentication and anti-counterfeiting. RFID integration is also on the horizon, as part of Holosafe’s vision to offer multi-layered security solutions using a blend of digital and physical technologies.
Operating a sophisticated production facility with over 35 machines—including high-colour flexo presses, rotary die cutters, and slitter rewinders—Holosafe runs a round-the-clock operation with over 130 employees. Holosafe serves clients in the pharmaceutical and automotive sectors and exports to key international markets such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and the Middle East.
