Write-up: After the success of previous three editions of INDIAPACK, it has grown as a brand name in the Indian Packaging Industry (IIP) and also the world over. Recognising that new trends and developments are essential to the packaging industry’s bright future, the IIP, through INDIAPACK, seeks to provide a perfect platform to bring the packaging industry under one roof. Besides this, the industry also has the opportunity to connect at this highly specialised event where the issues of meeting the soaring demand for more sophisticated packaging together with the ever present need for increased productivity are addressed.

With support from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Ministry of Food Processing Industry, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India and many Trade Associations, from India and abroad including World Packaging Organisation and the Asian Packaging Federation, INDIAPACK is all set to continue the success story in the 2010 edition.

Indian Packaging industry with a growth of more than 15% p.a. accounts for USD 14 billion. This growth is expected to be doubled in next two years and figures indicate towards a change in the industrial and consumer set up. Packaging today, has grown in importance and is regarded as a vital marketing tool. It enhances the product value and helps expand the market within and outside country. The packaging industry can be characterised as a global and fast growing industry.
