PRODUCTS

The man products of the Company are Corrugated Boxes with or without Printing, Corrugated Sheets and Rolls. Corrugated Packaging offers unique blend of advantages unmatched by other modes of packaging.

 

The structural rigidity and flutings endow the corrugated box with cushioning property to make it ideal for packaging even fragile articles.

 

Corrugated boxes, being collapsible, are compact, easy and convenient to store. Unlike wooden boxes, which are heavy, corrugated boxes are light-weight and easy to handle. The reduction in tare weight, which could be as much as 66%, results in saving  of transportation costs.

 

Corrugated boxes are strong enough to be stacked up to 25 ft to 30 ft height which is beneficial considering the high costs of floor space.

 

Corrugated boxes, being tailor-made products can be designed to suit pallet sizes, container sizes godown space  etc... The boxes are suitable for handling by various types of material handling equipment.

 

Another major advantage of corrugated boxes is their printability. Multi-colour printing makes the boxes attractive, eye-catching and enhances shelf-appeal.

 

Corrugated boxes can be designed innovatively with easy- to- carry handles and other fitments for adding comfort and convenience for use as retail packs and transport packs.

 

Corrugated boxes can be treated to provide effective protection against water, grease, oil, static electricity, abrasion, etc.

 

Unlike a wooden box which can be opened and resealed, contents in a corrugated box cannot be pilfered unless the box is torn which makes it pilfer-evident.

 

Ideal for packaging a variety of products of any shape and size - both as transport containers and as consumer packs- corrugated boxes are extremely versatile and can be used effectively for packing heavy, bulky as well as fragile and perishable products.

 

Unlike other containers such as metal, plastic, glass, etc., corrugated boxes, made out of kraft paper have an eternally renewable resource- trees. Therefore, use of corrugated packaging supports ecological balance.

 

Corrugated boxes can be reused, salvage, repulped and remade into boxes. The recyclability and eco-friendliness of corrugated boxes contribute to conservation of natural resources and environmental protection.

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO, MARKET & MARKETING ARRANGEMENTS

The word 'packaging' no more sounds new even to the common man. Today, most of the products are offered in packages that are convenient, modern and attractive. Packaging has come to play a vital role in today's life. More and more people both producers and consumers of goods are becoming aware of  the importance of effective packaging. In the present competitive market, packaging contributes significantly to the success or failure of product.

 

Almost all products are required to be packed scientifically in order to ensure that the product reaches in its original from and shape to the end consumer.

 

Packaging, which is a concept considerably advanced from packing, is today inextricably interwoven into the matrix of our marketing system. This, in turn, is a sequel to the rapid urbanisation and industrialisation that is taking place in our country. The range and variety of the products now being manufactured and the increasing public awareness of the advantages of buying packaged items have made the packaging industry one of the most dynamic segments of our industrial economy. In the sphere of exports too, packaging has assumed special importance because it helps realise higher returns in value terms.

 

Among the various modes of packaging that are being continuously developed, Corrugated Packaging stands out as the most versatile, secure, efficient and economical. The very fact that almost 95% of all the products in the western world are packed in corrugated boxes as transport containers establishes that corrugated packaging is the most viable and internationally accepted mode of packaging. The growing awareness of the need to maintain environmental and ecological balance has further enhanced the importance of corrugated packaging in the modern world.

 

It is a well-known fact that corrugated packaging contributes to the conservation of forests as they are accepted as ideal substitutes to wooden packaging.

 

From a small beginning in early 50's, the use of corrugated packaging has grown by leaps and bounds. In the early days, corrugated boards were imported and a few box units supplied corrugated packaging- mainly to soaps, cigarettes and textile industries.

 

Now four decades later, the major industries in India which use corrugated packaging are : food; Pharmaceutical; Electrical; Engineering; Consumer Durables; Soaps and Cosmetics; Cigarettes; Glass; Defence; etc.

 

There is perhaps no product that cannot be effectively packed in a corrugated box. From small, fragile and delicate products like crockery and large products like washing machines, refrigerators... to perishables like fruits and vegetables, almost all products can be effectively and economically packed in a corrugated box.

 

It has been conclusively proven that generally any item weighing up to 30kg can be properly packed in a corrugated box. In specific cases, products weighing up to 200 kg are also packed in corrugated boxes.

 

With the development of new and better materials and techniques in the field of corrugated packaging, the range of applications is widening.

 

In the recent times, corrugated packaging has made a big through in various fields.

 

Traditional method of packaging fresh fruits in wooden boxes has now become obsolete. Grapes, Mangoes, Apples, Strawberries, and other fresh fruits are now seen in the market, using attractive multicolour, die-cut corrugated boxes. Similarly, fresh vegetables are also packed in corrugated boxes, especially for exports.

 

Corrugated boxes also find increased use for packaging processed foods like jams, ketchups, etc., and confectionery.

 

Corrugated boxes are also being used for packing a wide variety of articles by Defence Stores Equipments and Supplies. These include : Brush ware ; Cookware; Plastic and Rubber Items; Heating/Lighting Equipments and Accessories; Screw-drivers and other tools; etc.

 

Keeping with the times, corrugated packaging is also protecting latest products such as Computers, Laser Printers, Fax Machines, Modems, Cellular Phones, etc.

 

Point of Purchase Displays are also being made innovatively with corrugated boards and they have proved to be cost- effective and eco-friendly substitutes.

 

Being a versatile material, it finds uses in non-packaging applications.

Corrugated packaging, designed to conform to international standards of strength and performance, has contributed significantly to the increase of exports, especially in the fields of fruits, vegetables, textiles, processed foods, pharmaceuticals and certain non- traditional items.

 

In the years to come, corrugated packaging will be a vital factor to ensure India's increasing share in the world market.

 

The manufacture of corrugated packaging in India began in a small way in the early fifties. The manufacturing units were located only in two or three centres. Today, there are over 1000 units spread all over the country. With increasing demand, newer units are coming up in the vicinity of consuming centres and remote industrial towns.

 

Today, the corrugated packaging industry is attracting more and more technocrats, engineers and packaging specialists who are are transforming it into a progressive and dynamic industry.

 

The industry is converting over 11 lakh tonnes of paper per year into boxes/boards.

 

Keeping in view the need for ecological balance, the corrugated packaging industry has supported the development of non-conventional raw materials as well as use of waste paper in the manufacture of its major raw material - kraft paper.

 

The corrugated packaging industry has been effectively and completely meeting the packaging requirements of the industry both for domestic need and for exports. There has been no imports of corrugated boxes into the country.

 

The per capita consumption of paper and paperboard in India at 3 kgs. is one of the largest in the world against a world average of over 45 kgs. With 315 kg, in USA, 225kg in JAPAN, 218kg in SINGAPORE and 18kg in CHINA, there exists tremendous potential for the corrugated packaging Industry in India.

 

MARKETING STRATEGY

The company has adopted Direct Marketing Approach wherein the top management develops the lead and draw out requisite samples for the potential customers and on approval of the samples prices are finalized. The company proposed to continue the aforesaid approach which will be supplemented by liasioning with leading agents operating in the industry. Through its present system it  caters to leading corporates like Viacom (Aiwa), Alembic Chemical  Works, Tainwala Personal  Products, etc.  The Company has approached several large volume players for their Packaging requirements and have been indicated that once it achieves certain critical capacity levels, it can enter into regular contracts. With the completion of expansion, the Company will become one of the top ten players in the Western India Market.

 

Marketing of Paper Shopping Bags ( New Division)

With increasing consciousness to the negative impact of plastic carry bags throughout the country and imposition of ban by the local municipal corporations, the demand for the shopping bags made out of recyclable paper  has increased phenomenally. In order to tap this tremendous potential the company proposes to install an integrated division for manufacturing of various type of Paper Shopping Bags with customization of designs and printing requirements. The company proposes to appoint network of distributors in principal cities on agency terms and which will be ably supported by dedicated team of marketing personnel belonging to the company.

 

COMPETITION

The company does not envisages any major competition in the field of Paper Shopping bags as there are no major players in the organised sector. In view of the tremendous potential for demand of such products there exists room for new entrants as well.

Unusual or infrequent events or transaction

There are no unusual or infrequent transactions in the last three years

 

Significant economic changes that materially affected or are likely to effect income from continuing operations

The company is dealing in the Corrugated Packaging Products and hence any economic changes related to the same field will materially affect the operations. Some of the factors may be as follows:

 

* Changes in the tax structures in States within the Union of India

* Any slow down in the economy

 

Known trends or uncertainties that have had or are expected to have a material adverse impact on sales , revenue, or income from continuing operation:

* Competition from other Indian companies in the organised as well as unorganised sector.

* Solvency & payment abilities of clients

 

Future changes in relationship between costs and revenues in case events such as labour or material costs or prices that will cause a material change are known.

As the company is engaged in the business of conversion, normally there are no major changes between the cost and revenue.

 

The extent to which material increase on net sales or revenue are due to increase sales volume, introduction of new products or services or increased sales prices.

 

Total turnover of each major industry segment in which the Company operated

The industry size is estimated at about Rs. 2,750 crores with conversion of about 11 lacs tons of craft paper on an annual basis.
