At Anuga FoodTec 2025 in Mumbai, Parksons Packaging underscored its focus on gable top carton packaging, a format increasingly popular in India’s beverages sector. Srikanth Ramamurthy, vice president – liquid packaging at Parksons Packaging, said the company is strengthening its commitment to this segment as part of its long-term strategy.
Ramamurthy noted that Parksons has been a regular participant in the exhibition since 2012, when it was earlier branded as PackEx, and regards the event as the most important annual platform for engaging with the liquid packaging industry. Over the years, the company has used the show to present advancements in gable top cartons, which are primarily filled using Nimco machines.
The company markets its gable top cartons under the brand name ParkPak, with fill volumes ranging from 120 ml to 5 liters. These cartons are suitable for products such as milk, yoghurt, cream, liquid eggs, juices, soups, liquor, whipping cream, and syrups, while also extending to dry products like sugar, pet food, granular fertilizers, and detergents.
Ramamurthy acknowledged that while growth in liquid packaging has been moderate so far, the outlook remains strong. Parksons sees rising adoption in beverages, juices, and dairy segments, where gable top cartons are gaining traction due to consumer demand for safer, sustainable, and convenient formats.
At the exhibition, Parksons displayed a wide range of ParkPak carton samples alongside a Nimco machine for filling and packaging. The company holds an exclusive partnership with US-based Nimco, a leading global manufacturer of gable top packaging machinery, for the distribution of its filling and packaging systems in India.
According to Parksons, gable top cartons bring multiple advantages: they help retain freshness, are easy to handle, offer better shelf display, simplify transportation, and support eco-friendly packaging goals. With these attributes, Parksons aims to position itself as a key player in India’s flexible and carton-based packaging landscape.
