Wrapology expands into paper packaging with dual DGM installation

INDIA – Ghaziabad-based Wrapology Innovations has diversified into paper and board packaging with the installation of two high-performance converting machines from DGM, marking its formal entry into mono cartons and premium paper packaging.

The company has commissioned a DGM Smartfold 1100 folder-gluer and a DGM Technocut 1050 S die-cutter, creating a complete finishing line for pharmaceutical and FMCG cartons.

The move reflects a broader trend across India’s packaging sector, where converters with roots in flexible and textile-based packaging are expanding into paperboard to tap into rising demand from pharma, FMCG, and personal care brands.

Growth in domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing, coupled with stricter compliance and quality requirements, continues to drive investment in modern carton converting equipment.

Wrapology Innovations is led by managing partner Vishal Tyagi, a second-generation entrepreneur.

The business traces its origins to Uttam Fashion, founded in 2013 by his father, Dev Kumar Tyagi, as a job-work unit.

Over the years, the company has evolved into a diversified manufacturer supplying printed cloth bags, FMCG packaging bags, tea industry bags, and a range of printed flexible and paper-based solutions.

Today, Wrapology produces between 35,000 and 40,000 cloth bags per day for customers across India.

The decision to enter mono cartons was taken about a year ago, leading to the formation of a new private limited entity supported by two silent partners.

The strategic focus is on scaling operations in pharmaceutical and FMCG packaging.

“Mono cartons have tremendous potential. Every product needs packaging, so the scope is huge,” Tyagi said, noting expected returns of 10–12%.

Currently, Wrapology processes 30–40 tonnes of paperboard per month in a single 12-hour shift. Typical job sizes range from 3,000–5,000 sheets, extending up to 100,000 sheets, with formats up to 28×40 inches.

Most work involves four to five colours, with around a quarter requiring Pantone shades. Printing is handled on a pre-owned eight-colour KBA press with inline UV coating, while plate-making is outsourced as the new division stabilizes.

Tyagi said DGM was selected for its balance of technology, cost-effectiveness, and service support.

The Smartfold 1100 and Technocut 1050 S together enable efficient production of mono cartons, pharma cartons, and premium printed packaging, delivering accuracy and fast turnaround times.

Around 70% of Wrapology’s current carton business comes from pharmaceutical clients, with the remainder split between FMCG and three-ply cartons. Demand for metallized cartons is also rising, an area the company plans to develop further.

Operating from a 1,700 sqm facility with a team of 30–35 people, Wrapology is already planning a new 2,500 gaj (≈2,250 sqm) factory.

The layout allows for a second finishing line, and the company is also evaluating another pre-owned press to support growing volumes, signaling confidence in the continued momentum of India’s carton packaging market.
