Sugar Packaging – Retail Sector View

Sugar is one of the world’s most consumed products. Every cuisine in the world needs sugar and it is sold practically in every supermarket or grocery store. Sugar is mainly sold in granulated form called ‘white sugar’ or ‘regular sugar’. It is also sold in other forms like brown sugar, raw sugar, liquid sugar etc.

Packaging of sugar is one of the most important aspects of the sugar retail chain. Sugar being a water soluble product, needs complete protection from water. It also needs protection from odour, ants, oxygen, moisture, vapour and humidity. The objective of sugar packaging is not just confined to protection and convenience, but also to creating an attractive display and promotion of the brand.

Excellent quality packaging is an absolute must for a product like sugar, which has high solubility and long shelf life. Sugar packaging is required for the convenience of both sellers and the buyers, and for safe transportation and handling. Good quality packaging assures longer shelf life of sugar.It also facilitates brand identification. Sugar packaging for retail is generally done in 1, 2, 5 and 10 Kg. pouches and bags.
