Tamil Nadu’s packaging industry is undergoing a significant transformation, with companies investing in advanced printing technologies to enhance product quality, sustainability, and operational efficiency. This shift aligns with the state’s broader economic objectives, as highlighted by Industries Minister T.R.B. Raaja, who emphasized the focus on “creating better paying jobs” and “building a knowledge economy.”
A notable development is the strategic joint venture between Velvin Group, a leading Indian manufacturer of paper-based sustainable packaging solutions, and Japan’s Rengo Co. This partnership aims to establish a state-of-the-art corrugation unit in Cheyyar, Tamil Nadu, leveraging advanced printing and packaging technologies to meet evolving market demands.
Companies like INCPRIN, based in Chennai, are adopting cutting-edge digital printing technologies to produce a wide range of labels and packaging items for industries such as apparel, FMCG, electronics, automotive, pharma, and education. Their focus on sustainability is evident in their use of eco-friendly materials and processes, contributing to India’s carbon reduction initiatives.
Similarly, Suri Graphix in Sivakasi has integrated digital printing technologies that are inherently more sustainable than traditional methods. By utilizing eco-friendly practices, they offer efficient and environmentally responsible packaging solutions, reflecting a growing trend among Tamil Nadu’s packaging firms to balance technological advancement with ecological considerations.
