Paras Printpack is about two-and-a-half years old, having started operations in July 2014. Prior to its launch, the founder, Pradeep Jain, was partner in a company called Paras Packaging, for over 17 years where he mainly did job work for companies like Paharpur, Uflex and a few others. The job work involved mainly pouch-making, which brought in decent profits over the years and provided him the necessary financial stability to launch his own startup. Today, he focuses primarily on the food & beverages, pharmaceutical, confectionery, home care, personal care and automobile industries.

Packages have to perform numerous feats simultaneously: meet the needs of marketing and sales, comply with safety and hygiene regulations, and satisfy such consumer requirements as sustainability and easier handling while keeping the cost of production, transport and storage low. Thanks to the very latest machines with highly automated sensor- and microprocessor-controlled drive technology, coupled with innovative materials that can be produced and disposed of sustainably, the packaging industry has succeeded in converting a 6,000-year-old idea into a modern high-tech product.
