“A co-ordinated system of preparing goods for transport,
distribution, storage, retail and end use”
“A techno-economic function aimed at minimizing costs of
delivery while maximizing sales”
3. India’s Rs 65,000 crore packaging industry is expected to
grow at 18-20% to reach Rs 82,500 crore by 2016.
India’s per capita consumption of packaging is only 4.3 kg
per person per annum, as against Germany’s 42 kg and
China’s 20 kg, which is very low compared to global
standards.
The food and beverage and pharmaceutical segments occupy
the largest share in the packaging industry, accounting for 85
per cent and 10 per cent, respectively.

product’s contents and give directions for use

someone is injured while using the product
21. Three Kinds of Labels
1. Brand Label – gives brand name and trademark or logo
2. Descriptive Label – give information about product
use, construction, care, performance, and other
features
3. Grade Label – states the quality of a product
22. FOOD SAFETY AND STANDARDS (PACKAGING
AND LABELING) REGULATIONS, 2011
General Requirements:
1. Every pre-packaged food shall carry a label containing
information.
2.The particulars of declaration required under these Regulations
to be specified on the label shall be in English or Hindi
3. Pre-packaged food shall not be described or presented on any
label or in any labeling manner that is false, misleading or
deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding
its character in any respect;
4. Label in pre-packaged foods shall be applied in such a manner
that they will not become separated from the container.
23. The disclosure of information on food labels in India is
primarily governed by the Prevention of Food Adulteration
Act of 1954, which focuses mainly on basic product
information with less emphasis on health and nutritional
information.
Recent amendments regarding packaging and labeling of
food under part VII of the Prevention of Food Adulteration
Rules of 1955 mandate the disclosure of health and
nutritional claims on food labels along with basic
information.
Chapter IV, paragraph 23 of the FSSA clearly states that no
person shall manufacture, distribute, sell, or expose for sale,
nor dispatch or deliver to any agent or broker for the purpose
of sale, any packaged food product that is not marked and
labeled in the manner specified by regulation.
24. Contents in a food label
As per the Indian Regulations a food label must have
1. Product name and category of food
2. An ingredient list in descending order of weight
3. Logo for Vegetarian / Non Vegetarian Food
4. Nutrition facts panel or information which includes energy,
protein, carbohydrate (sugars) & fat
5. The shelf life (Use by or Best before date)
6. Storage conditions
7. The name & address of the manufacturer, packer and / or seller
8. The country of origin (in case of imported foods)
9. The weight
10. Instructions for use.
25. Health claims establish a relationship between a food
& disease or medical condition.
For example claims like ‘Good for Heart’, ‘Good for
Growing Children’ etc.
Nutritional claims quickly inform a consumer of
nutritional value of a product for example ‘Low Fat’ or
‘Zero Cholesterol’.
26. Certain categories of food are exempted from the
labeling requirements
For example, foods served in hotels, hospitals, by
vendors like Halwaii's etc.
Other food products include raw agricultural
commodities like rice, wheat, cereals, sugar, salt, non-
nutritive products like tea, coffee, spices, processed
and pre-packaged assorted vegetables and fruits,
products that comprise single ingredients like papad,
pickle.
27. Labeling of food containing genetically
modified (GM) content
On January 1, 2013 India joined a select band of
countries where food containing Genetically Modified
(GM) content must be labelled as such. The Legal
Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, say
"every package containing the genetically modified
food shall bear at the top of its principal display panel
the letters 'GM'."
28. The packaging industry is the world’s third largest industry sector,
next only to food and petrochemical industries. It is also among
the top five industries in almost all countries, with its annual
growth rate of 3-5%, which is a range even higher than the GDP’s
growth rate in almost all countries.
Present day innovations and responses to changing consumer
preferences and demands have extended functions of packaging
from mere protection to include promotion, information,
convenience, initiation and handling.
Packaging becomes an added P to the 4 Ps of marketing (product,
price, place, promotion), particularly in terms of facilitating
branding, product differentiation and identity which is best
communicated at the point of purchase
