Packaging Design & Development
From raw ingredient to finished pack, with one partner. Our packaging team designs and develops the pack for your product, so you do not need one company for ingredients, another for packaging and another for research and development.
Packaging is part of the product, not an afterthought.
A good ingredient or recipe can still fail on the shelf, in transit or at customs if the pack is wrong. Packaging decides how a product is protected, how it is perceived and whether it can legally be sold.
Protects what is inside
The right pack helps keep powders, seeds, oils and wet products in the condition they left us in, through storage, handling and transit.
Sells the product
Format, structure and graphics shape how a buyer or consumer judges a product before they ever taste it.
Meets the rules
Labels and packs must align with FSSAI and destination-market requirements, such as US FDA labelling rules, the EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation and Codex Alimentarius.
Controls cost and logistics
Pack size, material and format affect freight, storage, breakage and handling, so a considered pack can lower the cost of getting a product to market.
Everything around your product, under one roof.
One team is responsible for the result, and you deal with one point of contact from the first conversation to delivery.
Spices, herbal and botanical ingredients, seeds, grains, oils and sweeteners, sourced and quality-checked through our manufacturing panel.
Dry spice blends, wet products and your own branded ingredient lines, formulated and produced to your specification.
Pack design, packaging research and development for your product type, and labelling guidance from our packaging team.
Six services, from first brief to finished pack.
Packaging design
Structure, format and graphic direction for your pack, developed around your product, brand and market, and carried through to print-ready artwork.
Packaging research & development
Pack research for your specific product type: dry powders, whole spices and seeds, oils, and wet products such as sauces, dressings and pastes.
Material and format selection
Help choosing between pouch, jar, box, sachet, bulk bag and other formats, matched to the product, shelf life needs, handling and budget.
Labelling and compliance guidance
Label content and layout aligned to FSSAI and to the requirements of the country you are selling into.
Pack size and cost optimisation
Right-sizing packs and materials to reduce freight, storage and transit damage without compromising the product.
Samples and production coordination
Sample packs before the full run, then coordination with our manufacturing partners so the finished pack is produced to the agreed specification.
The formats we develop, for the products we work with.
Each product behaves differently in a pack, so we develop packaging for the specific product rather than applying one solution to everything.
Stand-up pouch of spice or herbal powder
Jar of whole spices or a spice blend
Carton with sachets or small packs
Single-serve sachets in a neat row
Bulk bags or sacks ready for export
Another product type, pack format or packaging need? The list above is where we work most often, not where we stop. Tell us what you are packaging and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Experienced packaging professionals, not generalists.
“Our packaging team at IGS includes professionals trained at the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), each with more than five years of experience in the industry, working across very different client requirements. We have seen that a good product loses value when its pack is chosen late or in isolation. So at IGS, packaging is part of the product from the first conversation. We work with you on format, materials, design and labelling for your specific product, and coordinate with our sourcing and production teams, so you deal with one partner from raw ingredient to finished pack.”
A clear path from brief to delivery.
Every project starts with your product and ends with a pack you have approved. You deal with one partner throughout.
