What S.l.trading Co. does

S.L.Packaging Private Limited (operating under the trade name S.l.trading Co.) is a Kolkata-based manufacturer and exporter of eco-friendly bags made from natural, biodegradable fibers including jute, cotton, canvas, and denim. Founded in July 2007 and headquartered at Bidhan Nagar, Salt Lake, the company operates as a trader-wholesaler/distributor and serves retail chains, corporate promotional and gifting clients, and individual consumers across India and overseas markets including the USA, Australia, the UK, Singapore, and the UAE. Exports account for up to 20% of total business, and the company is recognized by the Government of India as a Two Star Export House.\n\nThe company's product portfolio spans 130+ SKUs across nine-plus categories — summer and beach bags, Christmas collections, promotional bags, wine and bottle bags, shopping bags, denim bags, plain customizable jute bags, mesh bags, digital-print bags (sold under the Jutehome sub-brand), gunny bags, and stationery pouches. Manufacturing is supported by modern high-speed stitching equipment, separate printing and designing departments, dedicated packing units, and multi-stage quality checks. Pricing is per-piece in Indian Rupees (typically ₹100-350 per piece), with minimum order quantities that scale into the thousands for customized or digitally printed items.\n\nRevenue is generated entirely through one-time product sales across B2B and B2C channels. Distribution runs through IndiaMART (where the company is a verified exporter with a 68% response rate), direct corporate inquiries, and international export shipments via road, air, and cargo. The company is differentiated primarily by an unusually broad sustainability and quality certification stack — SA8000, SEDEX SMETA, ISO 9001:2015, GOTS, GRS, Fairtrade, OEKO-TEX, and Jute Mark India — and by a customer base that includes ITC Limited and government corporations. Ownership is concentrated within the founding Saraf family (Sharad Saraf as CEO, Gopal Saraf and Navin Saraf as directors), with no external institutional investors disclosed.
