Stimulating solutions for coffee packaging.

India is the 6th largest producer of coffee. The branded coffee trade is dominated by Nestle and Hindustan Unilever, but others like Tata and other regional players are also making inroads into this vibrant market.

Traditionally, coffee consumption in India was largely concentrated in the southern states which also contribute almost 90% of the domestic production. However, in the last 2 decades, coffee consumption has spread and grown in urban centres across the country.

Higher disposable incomes, global exposure, media penetration, changing lifestyles influenced by the West are driving the country’s taste for coffee. Easy availability of variants at retail outlets, growing cafe chains (like Barista and Cafe Coffee Day) and new product developments by national and international companies has further promoted coffee consumption in India.

The packaged coffee market comprises different variants: instant, filter, bean-to-cup and RTD (ready-to-drink). Growing appreciation of coffee has motivated big players to introduce exotic flavours besides offering a variety of coffee powders catering to all classes and price points.

RTD market is still at a nascent stage accounting for barely 1% of the total coffee market (by value) but it shows signs of growing. So far, it is dominated by Nescafe Cappuccino packs and cafe chains like Starbucks who sell private blends.

All this means there is a huge need for quality packaging that retains the flavour and freshness of the coffee powder or ready mix while enhancing the brand’s retail image. Nichrome is powerfully positioned to provide a wide variety of packaging solutions to suit different needs. As India’s leading packaging solutions manufacturer, Nichrome has four decades of industry experience and a proven reputation for innovation, manufacturing and support.

Pack Powdered Food to Extend Its Shelf Life

The Indian food processing industry accounts for 32 per cent of the country’s total food market, 14 per cent of manufacturing GDP, 13 per cent of India’s exports and six per cent of total industrial investment. The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing its contribution to world food trade every year. In India, the food sector has emerged as a high-growth and high-profit sector due to its immense potential for value addition, particularly within the food processing industry

Powder Packaging is in vogue to counter the quick rotting and contamination of food items in their whole natural form. Today right from tea, sugar, coffee to drink mixes, spices, milk, etc. come to our grocery outlet in the form of powder. The trend has actually reduced the extensive wastage of food and food products which are microbiologically sensitive or those which have a very short life cycle. The powdered form of these food and food products can have a longer shelf life while enriching its taste and nutrition value. For e.g. spice packaging, tea packaging and sugar packaging solutions help in increasing the shelf life of the product while intelligently enhancing its brand value. Gone are the days when lose sugar could easily be sold simply wrapped in a paper bag. These days sugar is packed in attractive sachets prominently displaying its brand presence. Smart coffee packaging helped the manufacturers find their way into countries and regions where people traditionally drank tea for rejuvenation. Sachet packaging solutions have thus become popular with more evolved and market savvy manufacturers in India.
