Date: 23rd May 2025

Which government initiative is contributing to the food packaging market?

The state's premier exhibition of food processing and packaging technology is considered to be a popular and successful exhibition of the year. The exhibition featured 104 stalls under the Pradhan Mantri formalization of micro food processing enterprises (PMFME) scheme. The highlight of the exhibition was Kerala’s own food processing entrepreneurs' innovative products and services, along with the smart packaging of the products. The products were highly defined by the packaging quality, which kept consumers engaged with the products. The products were highlighting the rich cultural legacy of foods such as pickles, traditional snacks, spices, and seafood products. The famous and most approachable across regions, the ready-to-eat coconut chips are a boost to Kerala’s food processing companies. It’s quite a smart take for the new businesses and the packaging industry as well.

Kerala’s traditional prints and packaging culture

The complex prints on food packaging form a connection and a familiar bond with the customers. The typography in food packaging simplifies and defines the brand’s name and qualities excellently. The compact label with detailed product information showcases the selling purpose of Kerala cuisine. The rich and nutritional products of Kerala are highly recommended due to their safe packaging and detailed information. The traditional Malayali vessels can be an innovative approach for food packaging designs. Kerala’s ultimate symbol to represent culture and taste, reflected in the food packaging, is also a creative contribution to the food packaging market. The visual initiative is another center of attraction in the modern world. The shapes, patterns, and vibrancy volume to the packaging interest consumers. Kerala’s proud investment in promoting the nature and essence of the food from natural ingredients is popular globally. Another idea related to this promotion is indicating nature in the packaging. Kerala is strongly approaching this idea to their packaging skills and process, such as coconut palm leaves or trees with morning sunlight print.

The creative aspect, such as shadows, lights, text, and other formats, enriches the products' authenticity according to their nature. The calligraphic typography and old Malayalam manuscripts can empower and strengthen the Kerala food packaging market and also elevate the food and beverage industries and businesses globally. The natural elements in the packaging designs describe the quality of the product and secure customer engagement, and collaboration with the top companies in the business sector. These factors lead the region to emerge in the food packaging market.
