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 hygieneGlass bottles are losing out

Aseptic Packaging

Changing Dynamics- Rigids to Flexibles

Rigids giving way to flexibles…..Retort Pouches, Stand Up Pouches, Spouted Pouches, Unit Packs

PRIMARY PACKAGINGPRIMARY 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 HM-HDPE gives better shelf life.Five layerLLDPE/Tie layer/Nylon/ Tie layer / LLDPE 90 micron film

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

First time in India

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

PETPETPET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) is a strong but lightweight form of clear polyester. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exists both as an amorphous (transparent) and a semi-crystalline (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.

Bag-In-Box Packaging Edible Oils

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.
