Gel Your Packaging with Nichrome

 

Gel packaging was a hassle before modern flexible packaging machines turned out to be a boon for it. Automated packaging machines make packaging easy, clean and quick - whether it’s a medical cream, paste or gel. 

Why go for flexible pouch packaging for gels? 

Flexible pouches are better for gel packaging because they: 

-       Are lighter and provide increased portability for end-users

-       Need about 60% less plastic than traditional packaging

-       Require less energy to produce

-       Emit less CO2 and produce less landfill waste material

-       Allow for efficient and economical transportation 

Considerations for your gel packaging machine 

When you are deciding on a liquid pouch packaging machine, it is essential to discuss your packaging requirements with your packaging machine manufacturer. These include: 

Viscosity:

The term viscosity describes the internal friction of a moving liquid. In the case of gel packaging, viscosity has a considerable effect on the rate at which the liquid/gel travels, how long it takes to set in place, and the time it takes to insert the fluid into flexible packaging.

Your packaging machine manufacturer will determine the product filler to be used based on viscosity, to ensure that it supplies the right amount of force in order to generate the desired flow with accuracy and control so that the pouch doesn’t overfill.

Fill Temperature:

Viscosity reduces when viscous products are heated, allowing them to flow more easily. Hence when deciding on the filling system, the temperature at which the liquid is filled is of critical importance.

Protection:

The packaging material you choose needs to be suitable for your specific gel product. It should furnish a reliable barrier to protect against external elements that may end up spoiling your product like dust, moisture, oxygen et al.

 Printing:

Customers of today expect in-depth and authentic information about the product and its usage on the pack. This calls for a packaging machine that facilitates this critical requirement and also presents your brand to the world.

Quantity:

You need to decide on a package size and package format - single or multiple dose sachets, larger stand-up pouches with zippers, spouts or handles 

Why go with Nichrome? 

Nichrome possesses a range of HFFS packaging machines with next-generation, linear technology from Totpack in Spain.

Nichrome Powder Packaging On the Spice Trail

Last year, of India’s estimated Rs40,000 crore spices market, just about 15% was branded and dominated by brands such as Catch, Badshah, Everest, MDH, MTR and Ramdev, among others, according to a study by Technopak Advisors.

However the branded spices market is booming as consumers grow increasingly concerned about quality, purity and brand. Spice exports from India too are on the rise. As per the Economic Times, spices export from India has seen a staggering 129% growth in the last fiscal year.

Horizontal Form Fill Seal Machines HFFS Series T-200

The Indian spices market is projected to reach approximately USD 18 billion by 2020 with growth in the sector is expected to be led by branded spices and spice mixes. The Indian government is aggressively promoting spice exports through various initiatives such as setting up of spice parks. Spice Parks offer common processing facilities to both producers and exporters.

No wonder, large packaged goods companies like ITC Ltd., Kohinoor and Tata Chemicals Ltd., the maker of branded salt and pulses, have stepped into the spices segment during the past couple of years.

Besides modern retail and kirana shops, branded masalas are being sold through specialty stores like meat shops and online marketplaces like Amazon and Big Basket. There is a huge market for smaller packs and single-use pouches.

Excellent quality packaging from Nichrome for Spice Packaging!

India is known as the home of spices and enjoys the longest history of trading with the ancient civilisations of Rome and China. India is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices. The country produces about 75 of the 109 varieties listed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and accounts for half of the global trading in spices. Today, Indian spices are the most preferred spices in the global consumer market because of their exquisite aroma, texture and flavour.

Spice processing industry has a huge growth and export potential. This demands both a very high quality of the products and excellent spice packaging, to meet the international standards.

The spices are primarily sold in powdered form such as pepper powder, chilli powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander and cardamom powder, to name a few. The objectives of good spice packaging are: protection, preservation, convenience in handling and presentation / brand creation. Many factors, such as moisture, loss of aroma and flavour, discolouration due to light, insects infestation, spoilage due to microbial growth, etc. affect the quality of spices.

Excellent quality packaging is required to maintain the quality level constantly through the product's journey of retail chain and even during storage by the consumers, till actual use of the product. Spice packaging is an important finishing part of the spice process line. Excellent quality packaging is the key factor in maintaining and preserving the quality that is achieved through pre-processing.

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.
