Introduction

Packaging Industry is of paramount importance and plays a vital
role in the international trade of goods.
Packaging is used across sectors in a wide range of industries
which are food and drink, healthcare, cosmetics, and other
consumer goods.
Packaging can be classified based on their type of use, which is
primary packaging, secondary packaging, tertiary packaging and
ancillary packaging. It is also segregated on the basis of types of
materials used.
Some of the common packaging products include boxes, cartons,
cans, bottles, bags, envelopes, wrappers, and containers.
Introduction
4
A wide range of materials are used to manufacture
packaging, which include flexible plastics, rigid plastic,
flexible foil, glass, metal, paper and paperboard, wood and
composite materials.
The packaging industry could be divided in two major
components, viz., supply side - the providers of packaging
products, and the demand side comprising of the end users.
Food packaging lies at the very heart of the modern food
industry and very few foods are sold unpackaged. Good
packaging prevents waste and ensures that the food retains
its desired quality throughout its shelf life.
History of food packaging
5
Initially, around 7000 BC, packaging started in Egypt with
glass which was used to store food and liquid.
In second century BC, China developed flexible packaging
using paper to wrap food which was made by treating mulberry
bark. From 500 AD to 1500 AD, wooden barrels were used in
ships to move water and food. In 1310, paper making was
started in the British empire.
In the industrial revolution 1760 to 1840 the rise of the product
demand expedited the necessity for quality packaging.
In 1817, Sir Malcolm Thornhill designed the cardboard box
although cardboard was initially invented by the Chinese

History of food packaging
6
In 1831, Styrene was first distilled from a balsam tree
following in 1933 Germany improved the process as the
products were brittle and by 1950, Styrofoam was made
available to the world.
Between 1940 and 1949 the idea of frozen food packaging was
introduced.
By 1970, plastic manufacturing industries began to grow
tremendously. In 1973, Nathaniel Wyeth, a chemist, obtained
the patent on Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles.
In 1980, plastic was used to pack hot foods. In 1999 the Food
Standards Act was introduced to the House of Commons that
influenced the food packaging industry

Objectives of food packaging
9
1) Physical protection
Since the objects enclosed in the
package may require protection
from, among other things,
mechanical shock, vibration,
electrostatic discharge,
compression,
temperature, etc so packaging is
important
Objectives of food packaging
10
2) Barrier protection
A barrier to oxygen, water vapour,
dust, etc is often required. Some
packages contain oxygen absorbers to
help extend shelf life. Modified
atmospheres are also maintained in
some food packages. Keeping the
food contents clean, fresh, sterile, and
safe for the duration of the intended
shelf life is a primary function.
Objectives of food packaging
11
3) Information transmission
Packages and labels communicate
how to use, transport, recycle, or
dispose of the product. With food
some types of information are
required by government legislation.
Most items include their serial and
lot numbers on the packaging, and
in the case of food products the
packaging often contains an
expiry/best-before date, usually in
shorthand form. Packages may
indicate their construction material
with a symbol.
Objectives of food packaging
12
4) Marketing
Packaging and labels can be
used by marketers to encourage
potential buyers to purchase a
product. Package graphic
design and physical design
have been important and
constantly evolving
phenomena for several
decades. Most packaging is
designed to reflect the brand’s
message and identity.
Objectives of food packaging
13
5) Portion control
Single serving or single dosage
packaging has a precise amount
of contents to control usage. Bulk
commodities can be divided into
packages that are a more suitable
size for individual households. It
also aids the control of inventory
selling sealed one-litre bottles of
milk, rather than having people
bring their own bottles to fill
themselves.
Eg.: Milk, Ice creams.
Advantages of Packaging
14
Acts as a significant tool for business development
Provides for optimization of costs
Prevents product damage, wastage and deterioration
Helps in increasing transportation efficiency of goods
Effective in supply chain management
Safer delivery of goods
Tool for identification and branding
Advantages of Packaging

Present status of Indian Food Packaging
Industry
41
According to the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), packaging
consumption in India increased 200% in the past decade, from
4.3 kgs per person per annum (pppa) to 8.6 kgs pppa.
The demand for packaging is growing due to the rising
population, increasing income levels, changing lifestyles,
increased media penetration through the internet, television,
and growing economy. Moreover, it is one of the strongest
growing sectors in the country.
According to Care Ratings, a prominent credit rating company
in India, more than 49% of the paper produced in the country is
used for packaging purposes.

42
The Packaging Industry in India is expected to register a
CAGR of approximately 26.7% during the period (2022-
2027).
After the COVID-19 pandemic, most developed countries
burned wastepaper or used it for landfills to avoid
coronavirus spread. This has resulted in a huge shortage of
raw materials for Indian paper mills.
The manufacturers of Indian corrugated cardboard boxes are
working to keep transport packaging flowing to makers of
essential products, including packaging for food and other
consumer products, medical and pharmaceutical products,
tissue, and hygiene products.
Present status of Indian Food Packaging
Industry
43
Packaging is among the high growth industries in India and
developing @ 22-25% per annum and becoming a preferred hub
for packaging industry.
This industry has reported steady growth over past several years
and shows high potential for much expansion, particularly in the
export market.
Costs of processing and packaging food can be up to 40% lower
than parts of Europe which, combined with India's resources of
skilled labour, make it an attractive venue for investment.
A high degree of potential exists for almost all user segments
which are expanding appreciably - processed foods, hard and soft
drinks, fruit and marine products.
PACKAGING TRENDS FOR 2020
44
1) Sustainability and Environmentally Friendly Packaging
Materials
"reduce, reuse and recycle" is only
expected to grow louder as the world
continues to become aware of the
environmental impacts of packaging
supplies on the environment. The vast
problems associated with plastics and other
waste materials that have found their way
to our sea will force companies to offer
environmentally friendly alternatives.
This has recently been seen in Coca-Cola’s marketing campaign to
encourage consumers to recycle its bottles.
Source :- www.duplointernational.com (2021)
PACKAGING TRENDS FOR 2020
45
2) Smart Packaging
Whether we are talking about augmented reality, QR codes or chip
technology, it all relates to the idea of smart packaging.
Smart packaging will help to ensure superior tracking capabilities for
all products and will continue to change how consumers interact with
products and their packaging.
3) Vintage Packaging
As the saying goes, "what is old is new again". In our modern
technology-driven age, consumers are beginning to show more interest
in experiences that remember back to simpler times.
In the world of packaging this means that we will be seeing more
modern designs based on vintage aesthetics and colours, tugging at the
nostalgic emotions of consumers.
PACKAGING TRENDS FOR 2020
46
4) Sophisticated and minimalistic packaging
Minimalism in packaging is a reference not only to the amount of
packaging material being used in order to ensure the least impact on the
environment, but also in regard to the branding of the product contained
within it. Straight forward, easy to digest, high contrast designs that
clearly and simply make a statement
5) Evolution of E-commerce Packaging
Finally, we come to e-commerce. In the age of Amazon, one thing is
clear. E-commerce is here and it is here to stay. Amazon is buckling
down on their commitment to ensuring that their packaging is both
strong and protective of the products inside while simultaneously
speaking of a dedication to sustainability and environmental issues. It is
no surprise that other companies in the e-com business are also trying to
balance this act.

Green Packaging is also known as sustainable packaging.
It uses materials and manufacturing techniques to diminish
energy use and reduce the harmful impacts of packaging on
environment.
Green Packaging solutions often include biodegradable and
recyclable materials in preference to materials like plastic.
Green Package manufacturing processes take steps to reduce
their power output and diminish the number of greenhouse
emissions they produce.

Challenges
52
• Rapid changes in technology
• Shortage and Rising cost of raw material
• Costly Skilled Manpower
• Rising input costs
• Highly inadequate credit flow
• Lack of Market Access & Advanced technology
• Lack of exposure to Best Management and Manufacturing
Practices
• Lack of 100% commitment to the quality standards
• Lack of Marketing, Distribution and Branding
• Non-availability of skilled man-power
Macro-Economic Challenges
53
At a macro level, the GDP growth slowed down to a seven-
year low of 4.7% in October-December 2019. The National
Statistical Office has also pegged the economic growth at 5
percent for FY 2019-20 in its second advance estimates.
These factors have directly impacted employment rates and
have hit the consumer sentiment putting a brake on
spending. This coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic is
straining the supply side and hurting the economy as well.
Cumulatively, these factors will impact the packaging
industry since a large section of the population holds on to
discretionary spending that propels the economy.
Unbranded Products & Fragmented
Supply
54
At a micro level, the fragmented
nature of the supply side leads to
industry challenges. Adding up to
that is that packaging as a product
category is unbranded. Together this
creates a mediocre customer
experience with issues such as
inconsistent packaging quality and
tedious vendor discovery. For
manufacturers, this means
underutilized capacities, inconsistent
processes, and reduced margins. End
result - a suboptimal demand and
supply system with tremendous room
for improvement.
Strategies and Recommendations
55
Addressing the Technological Changes
Reducing the Cost of Raw Materials and Innovation
Increasing the Availability of Skilled Manpower
Strengthening the Packaging Machinery Sector
Complying with Food Safety Regulations in Packaging
Compliance to Environmental Standards
Packaging Design and Innovation
Certification Multiplicity and Complexities
Restructuring Research and Development
Policy Framework and Government Initiatives
Conclusion
56
Packaging is an indispensable part of modern life created by technology. Today,
people’s living style, situation, their busy work schedule, accessibility and
knowledge to cook and many other factors have played an important role in the
rising demand for pre-packed food which in turn has increased the overall
production of food packaging. Green packaging technology which is affordable,
manufactured using natural resources, which can protect the food in its entire
shelf life, allowing portions, ease of use, small footprint, having technological
advantages and functional features, and is environmentally friendly contributes
to the quality of human life. Nowadays, using efficient packaging technologies,
packaging is thinned as much as possible, weight has been reduced and package
failure is minimized. Its shape, opening and closing features, and sizing have led
the operation of eating to be easier and more practical and safer in compliance
with consumer demands and expectations. Technologies are immensely
advancing and intelligent packaging is on the horizon and very likely to take over
the packaging industry in the upcoming years.
