Frequently Asked Questions

Eco-friendly packaging is biodegradable, which means that it can break down naturally in the environment without causing harm or pollution. Depending on the material in use, the packaging will break down in industrial composting facilities or even in home compost bins.

Our QC team performs daily testing on our packaging materials to ensure their quality and safety. They measure and evaluate various parameters, such as thickness, GSM, appearance, bond strength, seal strength, tensile, hot tack, coefficient of friction, solvent retention, barrier for oxygen and moisture, odour, corona, and metal adhesion. Each parameter has a specific impact on the performance and functionality of the packaging. We use different instruments and methods to test each parameter and compare them with the industry standards and customer requirements.

Films and laminated materials: These are flexible materials that can be used to wrap or seal food products, such as confectionery, biscuits, dry foods, snacks, instant noodles, cereal, candies, etc. They can be made of single or multiple layers, with up to 14 colors of printing.
