NTK

What NTK does

NTK is an India-based B2B label manufacturer and trader founded in 2012 by Kumail Abbas and Adeel Abbas and operating from Mira Road, Thane, Maharashtra. The company manufactures barcode labels, jewellery labels, chromo paper labels, polyester/PET labels, direct thermal paper labels, thermal transfer ribbons (wax, wax-resin, washcare, resin), security and tamper-evident labels, and textile/RFID tags using flexographic and thermal transfer printing technology. Its core specialisation is jewellery-industry labels in non-standard geometries (dumbbell, rat-tail, barbell) engineered to survive ultrasonic cleaning and steam treatments.

The company serves seven primary verticals — jewellery retail and wholesale, pharmaceutical, logistics and e-commerce, food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, retail/supermarkets, and textile/apparel — with regulatory-anchored offerings in CDSCO-compliant pharma QR-code labels, FSSAI veg/non-veg logos, and tamper-evident UDV security labels. It supplements manufacturing with resale of branded industrial barcode printers from Zebra, TSC, Honeywell, Godex, and Epson, and imports hot-stamping foil from Fineraytech.

NTK monetises almost entirely through unit-level, per-piece or per-roll pricing (INR 0.03–1.75 per label, INR 100–400 per ribbon) on a pay-as-you-go basis with minimum order quantities of 10,000–50,000 units on security SKUs. Its go-to-market is digital-first and fragmented: an IndiaMART Trustseal-verified storefront, direct website enquiries, and partner-led referrals, with pan-India road-shipment fulfilment. The firm is a privately held partnership, bootstrapped with no external funding, and reports an annual turnover in the INR 1.5–5 Cr band against a team of 11–25 employees.
