about us
In 1981, while flexography was still new to India, Tarunkumar Raval ran one of the first flexo divisions in the country after his specialised education in printing technology. His decade-long experience included press installation and fingerprinting, pre-press and artwork optimisation, plate processing, and overseeing press production.
After gaining this experience and identifying a gap, he established .a designer as one of the first pre-press and plate processing houses in 1991.
Over the years, we became a staple name in the industry as a leading flexo plate supplier, offering unparalleled technical support to printers and helping raise flexo printing standards across India.
This journey came with challenges and opportunities, driving us to innovate and adapt as the industry evolved.
At the same time, we began partnering with leading global manufacturers to meet the growing demand for high-quality press equipment and materials.
