In India, the market for packaging testing machines has increased dramatically over the last five years due to rising awareness and changing requirements. Packaging, which was earlier seen as a mere necessity, is now an opportunity for improved customer attraction and prolonged product shelf life. A few educational institutions have also incorporated labs that teach specialized subjects on packaging technology, making the industry move towards high-performance testing equipment.
However, most equipment buyers find themselves in difficult circumstances regarding technical support and reliability because many equipment manufacturers simply copy designs without understanding the logic behind them. PACKTEST Machines, formerly known as Test Techno Consultants, is a leading manufacturer of a diverse variety of packaging testing equipment, including compression, tensile, and leakage testers. Since 1989, the firm has worked very closely with Quality Assurance and R&D across the Food, Pharmaceutical, and FMCG packaging industries.
PACKTEST Machines began its journey with a singular product and a modest customer base. Since inception, the focus was refining existing products and introducing new ones periodically. The company distinguishes itself through its unique approach to product development. Without a formal R&D department, the company leverages insights gained from international exhibitions, industry interactions, and participation in standards development committees to stay ahead of trends. New products are developed through a collaborative process involving staff from various departments, with prototypes being rigorously tested and refined based on user feedback before final market introduction.
The company’s geographical reach has expanded significantly from its beginnings in Gujarat to a global footprint, with sales across more than 60 countries and dedicated distributors in five. “PACKTEST prides itself on offering one of the world’s most extensive range of packaging testing equipment”, says Rohit Chawla, Director.
PACKTEST Machines offers a comprehensive range of packaging testing equipment, including machines for testing strength, durability, and integrity. PACKTEST's product lineup today features over 40 types of equipment with 600 model/configuration options, catering to various testing needs. Additionally, they provide customized solutions with a variety of test fixtures and accessories. Their services extend beyond equipment supply, including detailed customer consultations, prototype testing, and feedback-based refinements. In addition to selling equipment, PACKTEST delivers extensive support, including detailed user training, interpretation of test results, and troubleshooting, thereby ensuring their clients achieve optimal performance and reliability in their packaging processes.
