Huhtamaki PPL has won 10 Indiastar awards for Excellence in Packaging, conferred by the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP). The awards were presented to HPPL at a function held recently in New Delhi.
The IndiaStar Award is a national award for excellence in packaging, which is highly sought after by companies specialized in packaging, design and development. A panel of eminent personalities from prestigious institutions (like IIP, IIT, NID and JJ School of Arts), government bodies and the packaging industry selected the award winners from a total of 622 entries. The winning of an Indiastar Award is a pre-requisite for competing in global awards like Asiastar and Worldstar.
HPPL was also honored with ‘Special Achievement of Excellence in Packaging’ for its unprecedented show in winning a total of 10 Indiastar awards.
The winning entries were from HPPL’s innovations across flexibles, thermoforms, pouching and labeling portfolio. The entries were nominated across three main categories, viz. Consumer Packaging, Food Packaging and Packaging Materials to showcase HPPL’s capabilities in designing packaging solutions with distinct aesthetic appeal, insight-driven value engineering, specialized profiles, improved functionality and consumer convenience.
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.
