Offset Printing in Chennai
Offset Printing supplied into Chennai, alongside the ranges that make up the bulk of our work there.
Offset Printing for Chennai
Demand in Chennai is built on automobile and auto components, electronics manufacturing, leather goods, petrochemicals and port-led export trade. Garments draws on this range, though it sits alongside rather than ahead of the lines listed below. Offset Printing are quoted per job for Chennai rather than against a price break, so a smaller run is normal work there.
What decides the specification
With offset printing the question is always registration held across a long run, and colour read against an approved target. Humidity is the constraint in Chennai. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Chennai are run on a heavier caliper than the same job for a dry market.
Cartons and inserts are where offset still wins outright, because the text is small, the register has to be exact, and the run lengths are long enough to pay for plates.
When offset printing are ordered from Chennai they come per style and per season, in many small quantities, the same way the rest of that trade buys. What already moves from our floor to Chennai is under-bonnet and chassis labels and export carton labels with GS1 codes, so a offset printing enquiry from Chennai is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. It goes out by road — 2,200 km — and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Chennai.
In this range
Posters, catalogues, brochures and printed folding cartons — 4 product lines in all.

What do Chennai customers use offset printing for?
Garments mainly. Under-bonnet and chassis labels, export carton labels with GS1 codes, leather goods branding labels, barcode media — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
