Indian Packaging - Notable Developments
 Metal cans and glass bottles have lost large markets to rigid & flexible
plastics and printed monocartons
 Flexible packaging has replaced all forms of rigid packaging; the flexible
packaging segment has seen many new innovations – the concept of the
single use unit pack is now globally acknowledged as a marketing first
 Laminate tube has almost entirely replaced the aluminium collapsible tube for
toothpaste packaging, now making inroads into the pharmaceutical sector
 PET bottles & jars have made a spectacular entry into the Indian market,
recording annual growth rates in excess of 20 % per annum; in its wake, the
demand for a whole new range of plastic closures has also emerged replacing
metal closures
• PET bottles are used for mineral water, edible oil, carbonated soft drinks
and a host of other products

country; Aluminium 2-piece beverage cans as well as limited quantities of
OTS cans are imported
 The market for metal packaging in India has been nearly stagnant over the
past decade owing to the high cost of raw materials and consequent shift
to other packaging media
 Tinplate is produced in India; large
imports take place as domestic
production is inadequate
 2-piece beverage cans have not
yet made an impact
