The Indian paper-based packaging materials industry is growing exponentially and is predicted to reach newer heights in the coming years. Boosting this growth is the pharmaceutical industry. The reason behind the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry is that citizens are also proactively investing in their health and wellness, thus propelling the demand for medicines, supplements and vitamins. This demand translates to ensuring an equivalent supply of packaging materials that are competitively priced, without compromising on quality standards. Product packaging must also be pilfer-proof thus eliminating any attempts to create counterfeit products or tamper with existing products, which may mislead the consumers. Adding protective elements is important so that customers can easily differentiate between genuine and fake.
Committed to delivering superior quality products since 1956 is Velpack, one of the leading manufacturers of folding cartons, inserts and other paper-based packaging materials.
