All major industries create wealth but if there is one industry that plays a unique
role by way ofboth creation of wealth through a wide range of manufacturing
activities and also by way ofpreserving the wealth or value created by many, many
other industries, it is packaging.
Apart from the huge value addition and employment involved in these activities,
packaging hasserved the Indian economy by helping preservation of the quality
and lengthening the shelf lifeof innumerable products - ranging from milk and
biscuits, to drugs and medicines, processedand semi-processed foods, fruits and
vegetables, edible oils, electronic goods etc., besidesdomestic appliances and
industrial machinery and other hardware needing transportation.
With water becoming a consumer product, polymer material-based bottles are
becoming auniversal presence.
Packaging, as distinct from mere ³packing´, plays it¶s most visible and catalytic
role in amodern economy with the widespread adoption of branding of products
and development ofconsumer preferences. To the extent that any consumer product
is packaged in a manner thatmeets the criteria of safety, convenience and
attractiveness, it gains market share. In theaggregate, packaging as a sectoral
activity boosts consumption and economic growth.
Heightened competition in all product sectors within the country as also the
increasing need tolook for export markets have contributed to the rising demand
for appropriate, and at the sametime cost-effective, packaging material and
[Link] packaging industry¶s growth has led to greater specialization and
sophistication from thepoint of view of health (in the case of packaged foods and
medicines) and environmentfriendliness of packing material. The demands on the
packaging industry are challenging, giventhe increasing environmental awareness
among communities.
The World Packaging Organisation¶ s (WPO) slogan, ³Better Quality of Life
Through BetterPackaging´, sumps up the important place that packaging occupies
in a modern economy. Toensure that public appreciation of this role and the
policy-makers¶ support to the industry arenot diluted, attention should be paid to
basic issues like collection, segregation and reuse ofsynthetic packaging material
and observation of regulatory requirements.

] The Indian packaging industry itself is growing at 14-15% annually. This
growth rate isexpected to double in the next two years.
] Indian Packaging industry is USD 14 billion and growing at more than 15% p.a.
Thesefigures indicate towards a change in the industrial and consumer set up.
] However, the Indian fascination for rigid packaging remains intact. It is
estimated that morethan 80% of the total packaging in India constitutes rigid
packaging, which is the oldest andthe most conventional form of packaging. The
remaining 20% comprises flexible packaging.
] Rigid packaging constitutes glass bottles, metal cans, aerosol cans, battery cell
cans,aluminum collapsible tubes, injection moulded plastic containers made of
PVC, PET, HOPE,barrels made from HOPE, paperboards, and corrugated boxes.
] However, with the expanding middle class and rising income levels, the patterns
ofconsumption are bound to change substantially and the demand for quality and
convenience-based products will increase. Concurrently, the increased interaction
with thedeveloped world will considerably influence the aesthetic and quality
norms of the Indianconsumer and lead to better consumption standards. This is
expected to stimulate greaterconsumption of branded products and increase the use
of rigid and flexible packaging.
] Flexible packaging contains multi-layered laminated sheets of single or a
combination ofsubstrates such as plastic, paper or aluminium. Flexible packaging
finds varied use becauseof its ability to provide strength, moisture resistance,
aroma retention, gloss, greaseresistance, heat retention, sealability, printability and
low odour. Flexible packaging hasgained vast acceptability because of the
protection it offers to the product againstenvironmental threats like moisture, heat,
and chemical reaction. More so, convenience inhandling the product and the cost
benefits it provides are added advantages.
] Nonetheless, plastic, which is the most commonly used substrate in flexible
packaging, isfacing pressure because of issues of environmental protection and
safe disposal. These issuesact as a major impediment in flexible packaging
becoming an all-pervasive medium. Paperand paperboard, on the other hand are
environment friendly and also enjoy the advantagesof easy handling and efficient
process implementation. Moreover, flexible packagingmandates additional capital
requirements and technical know-how for efficientmanufacturing operations.
] Although substrates like plastic have gained vast acceptability, attractiveness of
paper andpaperboard consumption remains. Currently, India is ranked 15th in the
world for its paperand paperboard consumption and is expected to improve its rank
in the future. Paper is thefastest growing substrate segment with a growth rate of 6-
%. The total demand for papercurrently is estimated to be around 6 mn tones, of
which about 40% is consumed by thepackaging industry. If the demand for paper
continues to grow at the same rate, total paperconsumption is expected to reach
9.5mn tones by 2010.
] Laminated products including form-fill-seal pouches, laminated tubes and tetra
packs are growing at around 30% pa.
] There are about 600-00 packaging machinery manufacturers, 95% of which are
in the smalland medium sector located all over India.
] Germany and Italy are the latest suppliers of packaging machinery to India but
focus is nowshifting on Taiwan, Korea and China.
] Indian packaging machinery imports are USD 125 million.
] Indian packaging machinery exports are rapidly growing.
] India's per capita packaging consumption is less than USD 15 against world
wide average ofnearly USD 100.
] The large growing middle class, liberalization and organized retail sector are the
catalysts togrowth in packaging.
] Food and Pharma packaging are the key driving segments.

] A flourishing organised retail have raised the expectations that consumption of
corrugatedpackaging will begin to expand again as the number and volume of
goods packaged incorrugated increases. MNCs are demanding corrugated boxes of
international standards andthe pattern of buying the packaging is changing.
] Prices of corrugated sheet and converted boxes have remained low due to the
over-capacity,manual operations and low productivity. Besides, transport
constraints and high freightcosts have meant that small to medium sized corrugated
box plants are located near thecustomers.
] The over 4,000 corrugated board and sheet plants are highly labour-intensive,
employingover half a million people ± both directly and indirectly. The industry is
converting about 2million tons of Kraft paper into corrugated boxes. Factories are
spreadout in all parts ofIndia, even in the remote industrially backward areas.
] This present scenario is already being challenged by the sweeping changes that
arebeginning to take shape. More and more in-line automatic plants are being set
up, ascorrugated box makers gear up to meet the new demands for high precision
boxes withattractive graphics and large integrated production capacities.
] Inline Automatic Board and Box making plants will ease out the present semi
automaticproduction processes.
] Deployment of Folder Gluers, Rotary Diecutters will be on the increase.
] Use of corrugated for display/promotional packs, POPs and dispensers.
] Advances in multicolour, flexo printing will facilitate in-house flexo printing
and do awaywith screen printing, contract printing on offset presses.

1. Containment: Most products must be contained before they can be moved from
one place toanother. To function successfully, the package must contain the
product. This containmentfunction of packaging makes a huge contribution to
protecting the environment. Faultypackaging (or under packaging) can lead to
spillages and result in major losses and seriousdamage.
2. Protection and Preservation: Packaging plays a vital role in protecting products
as they gofrom the manufacturer to the consumer. Packaging is designed to ensure
that the productreaches the consumer in good condition. The product is protected
during transport anddistribution; from climatic effects (heat and cold, moisture,
vapour, drying atmospheres); fromhazardous substances and contaminants; from
infestation.
3. Supplementary Product Protection: Packaging can also provide supplementary
productprotection. This may be achieved by forms of cushioning such as shredded
papers, sheets ofcorrugated paperboard, foamed plastic or wrappings. Packaging
therefore contributes to foodsafety, quality and nutrition. Packaging technology has
made major contributions to advancingfood science and food safety and reduction
of food spoilage.
4. Communication: µA package must protect what it sells and sell what it protects¶.
Modernmethods of consumer marketing would fail were it not for the messages
communicated on thepackage. The information provided on packaging allows the
consumer to make informeddecisions on the product¶s purchase and use.
5. Convenience: Packaging plays an important role in allowing products to respond
to thedemands and needs of modern consumers. Frozen food packs, microwavable
containers, winecardboard casks, easy-open beverage and food cans and aseptic
cartons are good examples ofconvenience packaging. These types of packaging
reflect the demand for convenience and quickfood preparation in a way that
guarantees freshness.
Lightweight medical devices are packaged in peel-open, pre-sterilised containers
designed foreasy use in operating rooms, patients' rooms, or laboratories. In the
administration of drugs,unit-dose packaging, solid and liquid, in small containers
allows sealed, unused drugs to bereturned to stock. Medical packaging also reduces
the risk of accidental overdose or improperuse by children (child resistant
closures).
6. Environmental Aspects: Packaging reduces the amount of waste going to
landfill. Withoutthe benefit of packaging to preserve food, a higher proportion of
food would become spoiledand consequently consigned to garbage collection for
land disposal.
When the food is packaged, the unwanted portions such as skins, outer leaves and
trimmings,remain at the processing point where they can be economically
recovered and used in themanufacture of valuable by-products.
. Reduction of Pilferage: Packaging of a wide variety of products sold from self-
servicecounters is designed to reduce stealing. The product may be sold in a blister
package sealed to alarge paperboard backing. The large card makes the package
more difficult to conceal and steal.
Other examples of security packages are lock-on caps and tamperproof closures.
8. Marketing Trends: Marketing trends are placing increasing emphasis on the
look, salesappeal and quality of retail packaging. Packaging helps sell products by
providing productdifferentiation and presentation, greater brand awareness and
convenience. The continuouslychanging demands of consumers will require higher
quality graphics and promotional linksbetween graphics and advertising to support
brand identities, plus the ability to reflect current
consumer trends and images.

Most items at your favorite supermarket, discount store, or shopping mall were
safely delivered in boxes made of corrugated cardboard, and many are displayed in
the same boxes, which were manufactured so they could be opened and used for
this purpose. Other items may arrive in their own corrugated or uncorrugated
paperboard boxes. Because corrugated cardboard is such a versatile packaging
material, millions of tons are used each year to protect and display products.
During 1992, more than 25 million tons of corrugated cardboard were produced in
the United States. Another 6 million tons of uncorrugated boxboard or paperboard
were also produced for use in folding cartons.

Corrugated cardboard is a stiff, strong, and light-weight material made up of three

layers of brown kraft paper. In 1884, Swedish chemist, Carl F. Dahl, developed a
process for pulping wood chips into a strong paper that resists tearing, splitting,
and bursting. He named it the kraft process because it produces a strong paper that
resists tearing, splitting, and bursting.

From the paper mill, rolls of kraft paper are transported to a corrugating, or
converting, plant. At the plant, layers of kraft paper are crimped and glued to form
corrugated cardboard, which is then cut, printed, folded, and glued to make boxes.
At the beginning of this process, kraft rolls from the paper mill are loaded into a
huge machine called a corrugator. A typical corrugator is as long as a football
field²300 feet (91.44 meters). Some rolls of kraft paper are used as the
corrugating medium, and others are used as liners, the layers of kraft paper glued
on each side of the medium. After the corrugator has heated, glued, and pressed the
kraft paper to form corrugated cardboard, the continuous sheet of cardboard is cut
into wide box blanks that then go to other machines for printing, cutting, and
gluing. Finally, batches of finished boxes are banded together for shipping to the
food processor, toy maker,  /=parts distributor, or any of the thousands of
businesses that depend on corrugated cardboard packaging.

-='==

Fast-growing pine trees provide the primary raw material used to make corrugated
cardboard. The largest packaging companies own thousands of acres of land where
trees are matured, harvested, and replaced with seedlings. After the trees are
harvested, they are stripped of their limbs; only the trunks will be shipped by truck
to a pulp mill. The largest packaging companies also own the mills where trees are
converted to kraft paper. At the mill, the harvested tree trunks are subjected to the
kraft process, also known as the sulfate process because of the chemicals used to
break down wood chips into fibrous pulp. After pulping and other processing, the
fibers are sent directly to the paper machine where they are formed, pressed, dried,
and rolled into the wide, heavy rolls of kraft paper sent to corrugating plants to be
made into cardboard.

At the corrugating plant, only a few other raw materials are needed to make a
finished box. Corn starch glue is used to bond the corrugated medium to the liner
sheets. Because so much glue is used, rail cars or large tanker trucks deliver it as a
dry powder that will be stored in huge silos at the corrugating plant until it is
needed. Drawn from the silo, the dry corn starch is mixed with water and other
chemicals and pumped into the corrugator to be spread on the corrugated medium
as the layers of liner are added. Other raw materials are used to finish the
corrugated cardboard after production. Waxes made from paraffin or vegetable oils
can be applied to make a water- or grease-resistant container for food products.
Brightly colored inks are also applied to create bold graphic designs for self-
supporting displays featuring product name, information, and company name and
logo. Teams of salespeople and designers work together to create the
manufacturing and printing patterns, called dies, that are used to cut and print a
specific box design. The dies are created in a pattern shop and transferred to the
rotary die-cutting equipment and printers that finish the box blanks.


==
Kraft paper has been manufactured since 1906. Since then, pulp processing, paper
making, and corrugating operations have been developed to a high state of
efficiency and productivity. Today, in the corrugated cardboard industry, designers
are creating innovative containers that require four-color printing and complex die-
cutting. These innovative containers are designed with sophisticated software such
as computer-aided design (CAD) programs, allowing a packaging designer to
brainstorm different package designs before manufacturing begins. A designer
using a CAD program can call up and modify different designs that have been
stored in a computer design library. Thus, existing packages can generate new
designs. Many retail stores use such light, strong, and colorful containers directly,
as point-of-purchase displays.

Quality control begins with the suppliers of the kraft paper used to make
corrugated cardboard. Kraft paper must be smooth and strong. After the paper
passes through the corrugator and is made into box blanks, individual blanks are
pulled from a stack and tested. The Cobb test measures moisture in the liner and
medium. Glue strength, bursting strength, compression, and highly accurate
dimensional tests determine the quality of the manufacturing process. A warp test
determines the flatness of the box blank, insuring that each blank will travel
smoothly through the flexo machines. As skilled workers run batches of box blanks
through the flexo machines, individual boxes are pulled and inspected. Trimming,
cutting, and scoring must be correct. No damage to the cardboard is allowed. Also,
the different layers of colored ink used in color printing must be perfectly aligned.

$=>==
Future corrugated containers will be manufactured using kraft paper produced
from recycled packaging rather than trees. Recycling and other environmentally
friendly processes will continue to grow in importance in the future of corrugated
cardboard. Today, inks based on soybean oil and biodegradable waxes and other
coatings are beginning to be used in container manufacturing. Leading packaging
companies are already operating paper mills that make fresh, clean kraft paper by
de-inking and pulping used containers.
