Uflex always inspired its customers to reimagine the packaging experience with Asepto’s Spark and Premium range. “We are committed to creating innovative products and solutions for our customers around the globe, as our packaging innovation offers endless possibilities. This award certainly reinforces our belief that the unique and novel holographic packaging, we created, will change the outlook of aseptic liquid packaging market,” Sharma added.

Among many, Asepto offers various holographic patterns to foils stamping and multi-lens approach. Its strength lies in the backward integration strategy that the company has adopted to propel the innovative packaging venture. The company possesses in-house capability of offering packaging solutions for premium-category products. Sharma further added, “We can customize designs for customers as per their standard specifications.”

Expressing gratitude on this recognition, Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman & Managing Director, Uflex Ltd said, “Uflex‘s foundation has been on innovation and earning this award reflects the acceptance of our packaging innovation in the Aseptic Liquid Packaging business. It’s an element of pride for all members of the Uflex family who are associated with this.

Uflex firmly believes that, in the next decade, packaging will transform the way the point of sale zones are being looked at in the India Beverage Industry.”
