Letra Graphix (India) continues to focus on quality and cutting-edge technology, investing in its sixth Saturn machine from Prati.
Letra Graphix – one of India’s leading and most renowned manufacturers of self-adhesive flexographic labels – reaffirms its unwavering trust in label inspection, slitting and rewinding systems with the purchase of its sixth Saturn unit. Saturn, the best-selling base platform thanks to its extreme modularity and ability to be customized with additional modules to meet the widest range of finishing needs, is equipped with a camera for 100% inspection of FMCG and personal care labels and stands out for its reliability and versatility.
Strategic partner
Nirav Shah
Nirav Shah, the company’s founder, who runs the business together with his son Sahil, Director of Letra Graphix, firmly believes in the reliability, build quality, responsive support and technological innovation of a company like Prati, which for years has been an irreplaceable strategic partner for the production, inspection and finishing of self-adhesive labels spanning cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, personal care, chemicals and household products. A broad spectrum requiring different types of finishing and extremely stringent inspection standards, especially in the pharmaceutical sector.
The Faenza-based company, now an undisputed global leader, is supported in India by Royal Coat, thanks to its owner Sunil Talpade, who acts as a bridge between the two companies: a partnership built on trust, teamwork and meticulous attention to finishing details.
“Our experience with Prati,” says Sahil Shah, Director of Letra Graphix, “has been extremely positive: the machines are reliable and of high quality, and whenever we have needed support, we have received a response within 24 hours. That truly makes the difference. Saturn is our sixth Prati machine.”
For this reason, they decided to purchase a new one, which will be operational in the first months of 2026.
“The new Saturn,” explains Sahil, “and it won’t even be the last, as we are already planning to install more in the future, will be used for label inspection, slitting and rewinding.”
We spoke with the technicians at Prati to learn more about this latest model. “The FASTCUT system will be integrated – an automatic slitting system that will enable our Indian customer to double production speed, further improving efficiency,” they told us.
This choice is linked to the various sectors it will serve: self-adhesive labels for agrochemicals, food, and in particular cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
This Saturn can handle multiple materials, including labels with PET liner.
“And on this point I want to be very clear,”states the Director of Letra Graphix firmly” for labels with PET liner, Prati is the best manufacturer. Our experience with Prati so far – both in terms of the machines and the people’s know-how – has been wonderful. They are always welcome at our company, and I wish Prati ever greater success.”
A record year
Letra Graphix closed 2025 with a series of achievements: three international awards – Digital Printer of the Year, Label Printer of the Year, and Packaging Converter of the Year (PrintWeek Awards 2025).
“A truly special achievement,”says Nirav Shah. “Each award reflects an extraordinary team that innovates, pushes boundaries and gives its all to every project, without forgetting the customers who have entrusted us with their vision. We will continue to create, evolve and lead through innovation, placing creativity at the heart of everything we do. With Prati, of course.”
Collaboration beyond limits
Sunil N. Talpade recalls how the long-standing collaboration between Prati and Letra Graphix, built over many years, is rooted in deep mutual trust, particularly toward Chiara Prati.
“Over time, we have sought to fully understand their requirements, and this has turned Letra Graphix into a loyal customer, probably one of the most devoted. Ours is a team effort, where everyone is always ready to engage. Nirav never says no to a request: the team first analyzes the issue, understands the customer’s needs, and then looks for – and finds – a solution.”
It is clear from Sunil Talpade’s perspective, compared to other machine manufacturers, that Prati is one step ahead of the competition.
“It quickly understands customer requirements and acts accordingly. It invests heavily in research and development and is constantly committed to improving service. It is also the only company offering a well-structured customer support system: if we have a problem, with a simple WhatsApp message we are immediately directed to FASTLANE. This means resolving issues in real time, and that is exactly what customers need today – fast and efficient service. In this, Prati is doing an exceptional job.”
What surprises most is Chiara’s versatility: “She knows every customer, and when her name is mentioned, people’s faces light up. It is a genuine feeling that extends to the ‘Prati family’ around the world.”
The next-generation Saturn
Prati has introduced several important innovations to this machine, the latest unveiled at Labelexpo in Barcelona.
The evolution of the Saturn range gives customers great confidence, as today the market demands ever higher speeds and Prati is perfectly aligned with these needs.
In the SATURN Next, for example, the camera can detect a defect and automatically correct it. In the past, manual operator intervention was required, with the risk of discarding good labels along with defective ones.
Today, the machine removes only the defective label, and slitting and splicing operations are fully automatic. The result is waste-free production with 100% compliant labels. A real step forward, looking to the future of printing and finishing machinery. If printing must be excellent, so too must the finishing lines – the last stage before the label reaches the customer, and therefore the most crucial.

In brief
In one word, Prati is synonymous with trust.
Customers know that what they receive matches the value of the machine: value for money, quality and reliability. They are willing to invest because they know what they will receive in return.
Above all, there is no fear of receiving a call in the middle of the night due to a production issue. With Prati, you can truly sleep soundly.
This vision is also reflected in Sunil’s statement in his Prati philosophical card [Revolutionary gadgets featuring quotes collected from team members and distributed to visitors at the trade fair – Ed. https://www.praticompany.com/prati-galaxy-philosophical-cards/ ]:
“Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the customer gets out of it.”
In closing, we are pleased to share a statement from Chiara Prati:“Having a customer return for the sixth time is a source of great pride and a testament to a strong and lasting relationship.”
