Jupiter Laminators, a leading name in the flexible packaging industry and a part of the Jupiter Group, is highlighting a wide range of sustainable packaging solutions and new-age printing techniques at the 12th Speciality Films & Flexible Packaging Global Business Summit & Exhibition 2025. The event, scheduled to take place in Mumbai, will be a meeting point of leaders in the packaging fraternity to explore next-gen technologies, materials, and sustainable practices.
The team at the summit will be highlighting their water-based inks, developed by their group company Inkofix, which provide a greener alternative to toluene-based inks. Furthermore, the booth will showcase various mono-material solutions that are ideal for various food categories and align with circular economy goals and ultra-thin aluminium foils (4.5 and 5.3 microns) manufactured by group company LSKB Aluminium Foils.
In an interaction with Barun Banerjee, CTO, Jupiter Laminators, he said that the company believes in a ‘first time right’ approach to product development and execution. Their deep engagement with brand owners and rigorous process controls ensure that specifications are accurately met, and customer expectations are exceeded. “We make visits to customer sites, study their machinery, and understand material-machine interactions. This information is then shared with all stakeholders to ensure smooth and accurate development. Change management is followed at every stage to avoid any lapses,” he said.
Banerjee views flexible packaging as a highly efficient solution due to its optimal material usage and consumer convenience. With continuous advancements in specialty polymers, high-barrier structures, and material science, the future of the industry looks promising. “Substituting traditional foils with metallized high-barrier structures is gaining ground. Nano-materials and biopolymers are the future, especially in food applications. Digital transformation is also becoming a key lever in reducing operational costs and increasing speed to market,” he explained.
Speaking about the expectations from the Elite Plus summit, Banerjee emphasized his keen interest in exploring the latest trends in flexible packaging. According to him, the event presents an opportunity to delve into new material developments and advanced technologies such as AI and IoT that are being incorporated into packaging operations. “Elite Plus is not just an exhibition, but a powerful networking platform that allows us to connect with both domestic and international industry players. It also serves as a stage to highlight innovations centered around sustainability,” Banerjee stated.
Recently, the company has introduced its 3D pouches for tea and other categories, spouted pouches for edible oil and condensed milk packaging, barrier paper-based structures and MDOPE/PE combinations for enhanced recyclability, and matte finish pouches for snack brands that elevate the visual and tactile consumer experience.
