Quality snack packaging makes the difference.

Preference for packaged snacks is on the rise! While travelling, rather than buy a samosa at the station, people are opting for a sealed pack of savouries. In urban homes, with mothers short of time, it’s not always possible to prepare fresh, home-made snacks for children to carry to school. Packaged wafers or Namkeen offer a convenient solution.
