Packaging Changes From Fmcg To Cut Cost


Under  pressure  from rising prices and competitions  major fmcg  have now focusing on cost  reduction strategies  for  their product packaging . Packaging cost  is   a major cost contributor in product costing .

Few of the strategies   are
  • Smaller packs  
  • Smaller secondary packaging
  • Alternative packing material
  • Lighter packaging material
  • Lesser printing
  • Lesser margins  at end seals  ie reduction in cut off length s
  • Pre- formed cartons and packaging boxes
  • Universal packaging material and cartons for all locations



A report  published in ET
It is not just consumers who are tightening their belts in the face of runaway food inflation. Some of the country's largest consumer products companies such as Hindustan Unilever and Parle Products too are doing the same by reducing the package.


Now, reducing package has two elements: the content of the pack and the material used for making the pack.


While most consumer goods companies have periodically reduced the weight of packets to deal with increasing input costs, packaging firms are working on developing newer, cheaper packaging materials to control costs. The measures include tweaking the size and thickness of packages as well as replacing costly material with lower-cost alternatives.


"We have already deployed some lower-cost alternative packaging into the market," Tetra Pak India MD Kandarp Singh said. "For example, when the norm was for dairies to offer milk in half-litre and one-litre packs, we offered our customers a 200ml alternative in the TFA (tetra fino aseptic) pouch-shaped format and this is the alternative that is finding ready acceptance amongst consumers," he added.

United Biscuits Targets Zero Waste To Landfill For All Its Unit

Zero  waste  from  food processing units requires efforts , technology and concerns from top management  for  sustainable growth  helping in waste reduction and environmental conservations. It covers zero emissions , zero effluent discharge and zero food waste from manufacturing unit  .In most of the cases we find that manufacturers pay for services to dump waste to landfil.  UB   has always being first  to address these issues . Great role model for  other manufacturers to take the lead .

A report .
United Biscuits (UB), makers of snacks including McVitie’s, Hula Hoops, KP, McCoy’s and Jacob’s has today announced that four of its 14 UK sites are now sending zero waste to landfill.

The sites at Hayes, Consett, Rotherham and Ashby achieved zero waste to landfill by maximising their recycling efforts, reducing the amount of waste being brought in to the business, and having any residual waste that could not be recycled normally incinerated to create energy. UB announced last year that it had achieved its target of zero food waste to landfill by 2010 a year early - and after achieving a 44% reduction in non-food waste to landfill in 2009, UB brought forward its target of zero non-food waste to landfill to 2012, from the original deadline of 2015.

With four sites now sending zero waste to landfill, and an overall reduction of 55% in non-food waste to landfill across the UK business last year, UB is well on its way to meeting its 2012 target.
Key highlights last year in UB’s programme to reduce waste to landfill include:

- Increasing recycling volumes by 19%
- Improving the recycling percentage to 95% in 2010 compared to 70% in 2009.
- Decreasing landfill volumes by 1,274 tonnes (down 55%).

Cookies Vs Gazak's -Winter Does Have Impact On Sales Of Biscuits

While taking my daily dose of  Gazaks( sesame mashed with jaggery)  , Raibari ( sesame with jaggery)  and Gur Ki Patti ( peanuts with jaggery) , Chikki , Til ki patti and  relishing parathas ( Indian non leavened bread with oil spread on surface )   for morning break fast  I was  wondering whether this  change of  eating habit in winter  has  any impact on  sale of  biscuits and cookies  which  are popular snacking and any time food  for millions of Indian house holds . Only  hot Pizza's have been able to hold ground as  favorite bakery product in winters for Kids .

Personally my house hold intake of baked goods does see a   change in favour  of  these winter delicacies of Gazaks , Til-Patti , Methi ke Ladoos , Gur Ki Patti  for snacking and Paranthas instead  of ever  preferred  morning break fast  sandwiches .

Talking to retailers   I found  that they all agreed to fact that the sale of biscuits and cookies have seen fall a of 5- 10%  at their stores . People prefer these seasonal products which have added  health advantage .Sales picks up only after winter is  over

Digging more into  these road side vendors  business who are seen every where during winter seasons stationed in all major localities.Preparations are done in two - three month in advance  to prepare these varieties and then distributed  to either wholesaler who sell by stacking up all these products in bags or sacks, Jars  for sale .Cart vendors  buy  these products  to sell  them  to different locality of the city .Season start from month of December and ends by  February . Selling price  for these product are  Rs 120- Rs 200 / Kg . They  claim to  make profits  in range  30 - 40%  for these product .Major raw material required are peanuts , sesame seeds , sugar and  jaggery. Products of various shape and flavour could be found with these road side vendors such  rolls , squares and triangular gazaks  with flavours of  jeera (cummins seed) ,sounf ( fennel seeds) , dessicated coconut  and dry fruits.

Many entrepreneurs  had made fortune by catching up with these trends as they pack and market these products to supermarket , mall and food stores  . Every sweet shop of repute starts promoting their own product for this season . Most of these items  are into non - branded categories except for few pan India brands such as Haldi Rams  Gazak .


 Local  biscuit and cookies manufactures have tried to cater this market with cookies with sesame seeds and peanuts . Can expect manufacturers to innovate and produce some of these  products .

Consumers Paying More For Less In Fmcg Segment - Check Before U Buy !

Rising cost of raw material and ingredients with  other inputs of manufacturing like fuel price , packaging material cost , manpower cost  and fierce competition   have led   many fmcg  companies  to  reduce grammage , numbers or even size reduction for their product . Consumers are still unaware of the fact they are paying  more for less . Consumers need to check the grammage and relate it to the price before buying .


A report


Pay more for less. The trend in food items seems to have touched other products of everyday necessity too.

Mumbai-based techie Mehul Shroff for one is miffed at having to pay more for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) such as detergents and toilet soaps even as the content of various pack sizes keeps reducing.

“A bar of soap that earlier sufficed for 15 days now lasts only 12 days. In recent months, I have noticed the size of biscuits, chocolates and instant noodles reduce dramatically while I continue to pay more for these products every few months. As a consumer, I sometimes feel cheated.”

With the cost of inputs ever on the rise, companies are struggling to protect their margins. Yet, a direct price hike to pass on the cost is ruled out as it could impact consumer sentiment. So, they are taking recourse to indirect price hike, through grammage cuts.
