In the aftermath of the global COVID pandemic, the corrugated boxes industry experienced unprecedented growth due to the raised awareness for maintaining hygiene, as well as the growth that the e-commerce and FMCG industries (particularly food packaging) experienced. With a paradigm shift in the FMCG industry transforming from an unorganized sector to an organized one, the demand for high-quality corrugated boxes increased manifold. Similarly, as e-commerce became mainstream, the demand for high-quality and durable corrugated boxes that can keep the most fragile products safe increased. However, the industry still continues to lack largely because of the unavailability of high-quality products, delivered in a timely fashion.
Plethora of Offerings
With a wide array of box types, Udaan Industries stands as a unique and versatile player in the packaging industry. From printed to non-printed, multicolored to single-colored, and customized boxes, the firm offers a comprehensive range of packaging solutions that cater to a variety of needs. Whether it's a small order of 10 boxes or a large-scale production of thousands, the team’s commitment to quality remains unwavering. The hallmark of Udaan’s service is its use of automatic machines for crafting every box, ensuring precision and consistency at any scale.
The company takes pride in offering an all-inclusive, in-house solution for designing, printing, and packaging, setting it apart in the industry. With numerous in-house printing machines and a dedicated studio for design, Udaan ensures that every facet related to printing is under its watchful eye. The firm’s operational model is a reflection of its devotion to producing only the best, with a fully functional factory that operates round the clock, 365 days a year. What truly sets the company apart is its foresight, as it keeps critical spare parts in abundance, guaranteeing that it is always prepared to serve clients without interruption.
“Our 24/7 operational model is more than a commitment; it's a promise we keep to our clients. We believe in offering seamless services and ensuring that our partners can rely on us at all times.

With a strong presence in the FMCG, textile, and dairy sectors, Udaan is quickly becoming the go-to choice for a variety of industries. The firm’s commitment to providing diverse box types and quality positions it as a reliable partner for businesses across industries, ensuring that its products are packaged with precision and care.

The firm’s visionary leaders are brightening its prospects even further for bagging leading clients across industries as it expands its presence.
Assuring Quality
Quality is the cornerstone of Udaan’s operations. At every step, from the raw materials' arrival to the finished products, rigorous quality checks are integral. Craft paper, the primary raw material used at Udaan, undergoes a meticulous inspection before it even enters the factory. The firm’s unyielding emphasis on maintaining high quality extends throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that work in progress maintains the same level of excellence. Notably, the company has established a specialized and independent lab within its premises, bestowing it with the authority to halt or endorse any aspect of production. The lab's significance is underscored by its ability to impede the entire operation if it detects any deviation in material or product quality.
Furthermore, in the company's organizational structure, there is a deliberate focus on decentralization, where the responsibility for quality and processes is distributed across various departments, including data printing, dispatching, and HR. The senior management, led by the Founder and his brother, closely oversees each department, fostering an environment of continuous improvement. The duo strikes a balance between experienced professionals, some of whom have been with the company since its inception, and young, innovative talents who bring fresh ideas and a dynamic approach to the company's operations. This blend of experience and innovation is at the heart of the company's commitment to maintaining the highest standards.
“Our approach is comprehensive and uncompromising when it comes to quality. Each of our departments operates independently, under the stewardship of key personnel, with a shared dedication to maintaining the highest standards. We cherish experienced professionals who have been with us since our inception, while also embracing fresh talent. This infusion of young minds with innovative ideas adds a dynamic dimension to our workforce, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of quality and innovation”, shares Yash Bakliwal, Director.

The transformation is not limited to quantity alone. Udaan began with a modest, semi-automatic plant, and today it proudly operates one of the best-equipped, state-of-the-art facilities. The company acknowledges the invaluable support of partners in its success and continues to envision many more strong partnerships and collaborations in its next phase of growth.
“We see a bright future for corrugated boxes, and this is our time to seize the opportunities. India offers a plethora of possibilities, and we are determined to explore every sector, including e-commerce and pharmaceuticals. With our ambitious target of 5000 tonnes by 2026, we are ready to create a mark in the packaging industry”, adds Sapan.
Looking ahead, Udaan envisions a promising future, targeting ambitious goals. The company aims to double its tonnage, setting a clear target of reaching 5000 tonnes by 2025. This strategic focus extends to exploring uncharted territories such as the E-commerce and pharmaceutical sectors, ensuring the corrugated boxes cater to a diverse range of industries. With an eye on the logistics and transportation challenges that come with this volume-based product, Udaan has developed an extensive transportation network, which will play a pivotal role in facilitating the company's growth and expansion.
To fuel its expansion, the company is strategically planning to set up plants in different parts of the country, both through independent ventures and collaborations with reputed corrugators in various regions. The founders are not just growing the business; they are nurturing valuable partnerships and contributing to the packaging industry's growth. As they continue to innovate and adapt, the future shines brightly for this enterprise, and there's no doubt that the journey is far from over. With dedication as its driving force, the company is on the path to even greater success and expansion in the years to come.
