The caps and closures market in India is growing rapidly over the last three decades. Rapid urbanization, rising western influences, and changing dietary patterns of individuals are positively influencing the demand for packaged food products. Some of the user sectors include carbonated soft drinks (CSD), flavoured milk, fruit juices, ketchup/ sauces, alcohol, and beer.
This represents one of the significant factors spurring the growth of the caps and closures market in India. The growth is also facilitated by the increased demands for bottled water, product safety & security, product differentiation & branding, and packaging size decrease. The major expectations of customers are a high level of quality and consistency in the supply by delivering key parameters like timeliness and zero-defect products.
Innopac Crownpackaging is a leading manufacturer and exporter of caps and closures in India committed to designing, manufacturing, and supplying quality products through a well-defined system. Since the majority of the market share remains with plastic and ROPP caps, this space is much more crowded than lug caps and
crown closures. Therefore, Innopac strategically focuses on crown closures.
Innopac has also invested heavily in world-class quality equipment and upgraded the lab to conduct research and various tests for maintaining the exigent quality parameters of crown caps. “Our firm is known to provide perfect closures at affordable prices which are technologically advanced”, says Saket Bhatia, Director.
