What The Packaging People Group does

The Packaging People Group is a privately held, family-controlled Indian packaging conglomerate founded in 1983 in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The group operates through multiple subsidiaries — Shree Packers (MP) Pvt. Ltd., Vyanktesh Corrugators Pvt. Ltd., Shriji Polymers (India) Ltd., Shriniwas Board and Paper Mill Pvt. Ltd., Ariba Foods Pvt. Ltd., and Padma Polytex (India) Pvt. Ltd. — covering corrugated packaging, plastic packaging for pharmaceuticals, paper manufacturing, and frozen foods. The company runs 10+ manufacturing facilities across India (Ujjain, Dewas, Pithampur, Indore, Hyderabad, Tirupati, Ahmedabad) plus international plants in Wuhan, China and New Jersey, USA, with combined annual capacity of approximately 100,000 tons of corrugated output and 2 million HDPE containers plus 3 million PP closures per day at Shriji Polymers.

The group's product portfolio spans four branded lines — CustomPack (e-commerce boxes, corrugated boards, wrap-around trays), ShipPack (core pipe, edge board, PP corrugated boxes, corrugated pallets), ToughPack (heavy-duty boxes, regular slotted boxes, honeycomb fillers), and ImpressPack (offset print boxes, high-graphic flexo, vegetable boxes) — plus paper bags/kraft paper, HDPE plastic containers, dose pens, closures, and plastic films (pouches, rolls, VCI bags). Shriji Polymers holds Drug Master File status with the US FDA, Canadian FDA, and Chinese FDA, and holds the first US Patent granted to an Indian company for Child Resistant Caps. The group is certified across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, BRC, and FSC standards, and was awarded Best Enterprise by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Revenue is generated through a B2B enterprise sales motion with direct quote-based pricing for customized corrugated and plastic packaging solutions, serving pharmaceutical, FMCG, automotive, food, and e-commerce customers. The group uses a 150+ GPS-enabled owned fleet for distribution and operates a direct sales model via website inquiries and field engagement. Vertical integration from paper mill through boards to finished packaging provides cost control and supply reliability, though no consolidated revenue is publicly disclosed.
