Nichrome RTE Packaging: Helping to ladle profits for food industries The RTE (Ready-To-Eat) industry is booming. And why not? RTE food offers convenience and variety. It saves time and energy — elements of great value in contemporary India with its changing lifestyle, growing urbanization, increase in nuclear families and rise in disposable income.
The Indian RTE food market is dominated by Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR), GITS Food Products Pvt. Ltd., Indian Tobacco Company (ITC), Kohinoor Foods and Priya Foods. Product innovation, branding and attractive packaging have also provided impetus to the RTE industry. The players in the packaged food industry tweak their product offerings to suit the taste of Indian consumers and launch new variants of the products to cater to region-specific demand which have widened their consumer base. The industry players also consider factors like freshness, crispiness and flavor of the product, which the consumers consider important, before launching new products. Newer preservation techniques have led to enhanced shelf life. Nichrome’s Totpack Pick-Fill-Seal machine offers the combined benefits of variety, productivity and specialty packaging for ready-to-eat food packaging. The ready to cook packaging machine conveniently packs a wide variety of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook foods in eye-catching innovative shapes while maintaining freshness of the products. Advanced packaging technology enables 2 or 3 different fillers to dispense multiple types of ingredients in the same pouch.
