Changing food habits amongst Indians Increasing health consciousness proves good for packaging industry

Flexible packaging dominates due to low costs Rural marketing pushing demand for sachets PET bottles gaining immense popularity, at the cost of glass bottles Glass is associated with aesthetics and hygiene Glass bottles are losing out

Aseptic Packaging : Tetra Pack

Changing Dynamics- Rigids to Flexibles Rigids giving way to flexibles…. . Retort Pouches, Stand Up Pouches, Spouted Pouches, Unit Packs

The Packaging market has been fairly resilient in recent years as new Packaging continues to drive growth.

PRIMARY PACKAGING 100 -ml pouch 200 -ml pouch 500 -ml pouch one-litre pouch, one-litre PET bottle, 2 -litre bottle, 5 -litre and 15 -litre packs

PRIMARY PACKAGING: - NORMALLY THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF PACKAGING FILMS: *HD/LD/HD with blending of LLD in all the three layers. *HD/LD/LLD with blending of LLD in all the three layers. *HM/LD/HM with blending of LLD in all the three layers. Blend of METALLOCENE gives excellent sealing strength, better seal through contamination, better puncture resistance, better impact strength. However, blend of HMHDPE gives better shelf life. Five layer LLDPE/Tie layer/Nylon/ Tie layer / LLDPE 90 micron film

Functional Requirements High Density Polyethylene {HDPE} - HDPE is being used to improve following properties of films : 1. WVTR & OTR 2. Stiffness Low Density Polyethylene {LDPE} - LDPE is being used to improve the following properties of films : 1. Softness 2. Bonding Linear Low Density Polyethylene {LLDPE} - Linear Low Density Polyethylene LLDPE is being used to improve the following properties of films : All materials should confirm for FOOD Grade

First time in India Tamper-proof tetra pack Dhara brand of edible oils was introduced by NDDB in 1989

PET (Poly. Ethylene Terephthalate) is a strong but lightweight form of clear polyester. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exists both as an amorphous (transparent) and a semicrystalline (opaque and white) thermoplastic, and can be made into either a resin or a film. It is used to make containers for soft drinks, juices, alcoholic drinks, water, edible oils, household cleaners, and other food and non-food applications.

DR Tinplate for Oil cans DR Tinplate is produced for the oil can size sector in the following sizes, thickness and tempers: Thickness 0. 21 mm as against 0. 29 mm for Single Reduced OC Tinplate. Size 895 mm x 660 mm, 900 mm x 660 mm, 905 mm x 660 mm for the body and 764 mm x 1015 mm for the top/bottom sizes. Temper DR-8 Yield Compared to Single Reduced Tinplate in 0. 28 mm, the yield of 15 kg. Container in DR quality of 0. 21 mm thickness will increase by 25% to 27%

Bag-In-Box Packaging Edible Oils Bag-In-Box Packaging The Bag-In-Box packaging is easier to handle, carry, use, and store. Using the pouches for both high and low volumes (five to 1, 000 liters) makes for more efficient manufacturing, storage, marketing and consumption. The Bag-In-Box system enables easy pouring in both small and big quantities. Bag-in-Box consists of a rigid outer carton and a flexible bag inside. The bag normally is a 4 ply bag of barrier and non-barrier PE films and laminates. The poly layer of the inside flexible bag is selected to keep the packaged product protected till the intended shelf life.

Transport Packaging : - The most popular corrugated container, manufactured in a variety of flutes, A, B or AB. All flaps are of the same depth, and the two outer flaps (normally the lengthwise flaps) are onehalf of the container width, so that they meet at the centre of the box when folded. This is a highly efficient design. The only overlap is the flap for gluing or stitching of the manufacturer's joint, and the inner (or minor) flaps. There is very little manufacturing waste. The RSC can be used for most products, and is the most common box style.
