What RK Printers does

RK Printers is a second-generation, family-owned commercial printing and packaging converter founded in 1972 by three brothers — KS Malik, Rakesh Malik, and Ramesh Malik — and headquartered at Plot No. 302, IMT Faridabad, Haryana, India. The company manufactures a broad packaging product portfolio including printed cartons, metalised cartons, rigid boxes, e-fluted cartons, gift boxes, paper bags, corrugated boxes, blister cards, folding boxes, multipacks, Braille cartons, soap boxes, labels (including roll form), and catalogues, alongside pre-press services and rush printing. Its underlying technology stack is built on offset printing and flexo press capabilities, Pantone Matching System color management with a state-of-the-art QC lab (GSM tester, densitometer, moisture tester, bursting strength tester), and complete in-house design-to-finishing vertical integration covering print, die cut, and glue operations. Sustainability infrastructure includes solar power, rainwater harvesting, and effluent treatment, and the firm holds the 2025 India Packaging Award (Gold) for Mono Cartons.

The company sells through a direct, sales-led motion with personalized client coordination from briefing through sampling, manufacturing, and direct factory-to-customer shipping worldwide. Pricing is quote-based with no minimum order requirement, accommodating both small and large runs, and revenue is generated via one-time purchase contracts across enterprise customers in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, healthcare/home/personal care, and festive gifting verticals. The firm claims preferred-supplier status to "hundreds of companies globally" and reports a 98.8% on-time delivery rate maintained during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Leadership comprises second-generation operators Amit Malik (CEO) and Vikrant Malik (Managing Partner), with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entities, or subsidiaries; the business is privately held with a recent manufacturing capacity expansion via a second plant in IMT Faridabad equipped with environmentally friendly operations.
