CHALLENGES OF NAMKEEN PACKAGING

Posted by Nichrome India Ltd on July 15th, 2021

We Indians love to snack, so the market is booming. Whether it is a famous Indian brand like Haldiram and Bikanervala, MNC like Pepsi or a small, localmithaiwala, they all seem to have a market for their products - and enjoy tasty profits.

However, snack food manufacturers have a few basic challenges when packaging their products:

1. Fragility of product
Snack foods tend to be fragile with light density. They also tend to be of irregular shape and size. This makes it difficult to packagethe products quickly without damage.

2. Freshness of product
Freshness and crispiness are crucial for sale of snacks. Chips that have gone soft or fried namkeen that smells rancid are sure to damagethe maker's reputation and market.

3. Range of products
Most snack manufacturers produce a variety of snacks, and it is not always possible to invest in, for example, a namkeen packaging machine and a potatochips  packaging machine. Especially for smaller enterprises, such capital expenditure is not feasible.
