Packaging is no longer confined merely to the container but has become a sum total of style, quality, health and other technical and scientific developments. Established in 2001, Galaxy Packteck has grown to become one of the top players in the pouch-making machinery market. Galaxy manufactures, exports and supplies automatic, high-speed pouch-making machines to leading customers in India and overseas.

The company has a wide portfolio of products for the pouch converters and manufacturers, such as 3-side sealing machine, stand-up zipper, center-sealing zipper and woven fabric machines. Galaxy’s spout inserting machine, which the company claims is the first-of-its-kind manufactured in India, was displayed at the previous edition of PLASTINDIA, where it received an overwhelming response. All of Galaxy’s shape cutting and pouch making machines are servo driven.

Going by the buzz it has created in the Indian and overseas market over the past two years, Galaxy decided to again show the same machine at this year’s PLASTINDIA. This time, the company is looking to target overseas clients to cement its place in exports.

Galaxy’s GSF 12 high-speed auto spout inserting machine has a spout insertion capacity of 50 pouches a minute. The machine can manufacture pouch sizes ranging from 100 x 150 x 120 mm to 240 x 350 x 120 mm (width, length and thickness). Galaxy also manufactures customized machines for special formats and needs. The company will also show a 3-side pouch sealing machine capable of running at 400 pouches a minute.

“Our main motive is to cut the imports this time around. Usually, Indian machines are criticized for heavy power consumption and lower output rates, and we would like to contradict that perception with our machines. I think it’s high time that people realize that Indian machines are quite at par with those being offered mostly by our European counterparts,” says Brijesh Kumar, senior manager – Accounts of Galaxy Packteck. “PLASTINDIA as a bi-annual event has been pivotal for us. Ten years ago, we lacked exposure. In 2009, we decided to participate in PLASTINDIA for the first time and the show turned out to be so fruitful that we couldn’t resist going back to all the successive editions of the event.”

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
