Export Packaging

What are export packaging?

Export packaging engineered for 30–45 day sea transit: moisture-resistant boards, container-optimised dimensions and compliant international markings.

Export losses usually trace to humidity collapse, wasted container space or marking errors. We solve all three — Cobb-tested boards, sizes built around container maths, and shipping marks printed right the first time.

How we manufacture it

Production runs on a fully automatic corrugation line: kraft reels are conditioned and stored dry, fluted and bonded into 3/5/7-ply board, then printed, slotted, creased, die-cut and joined in a continuous, monitored flow. Automation is why lot 40 matches lot 1 — flute geometry, bond strength and blank dimensions are machine-held, not operator-remembered.

Choosing the right spec

Choosing the right specification starts with three questions: how heavy is the packed box, how high will it stack (and for how long), and how humid is the journey? Weight and stack height set the ply and ECT; duration adds a creep safety factor; humidity decides whether standard kraft or Cobb-controlled coated board is the honest choice. Share those three facts and our engineers will spec the rest.

Engineering & standards — IS 2771 (Part 1): 2022

Indian corrugated boxes are governed by IS 2771:2022, which ties board type to the maximum mass of contents and prescribes minimum bursting strength and — new in the 2022 revision — a minimum Edge Crush Test value. The rows relevant to export packaging:

5-Ply · Double wall
7-Ply · Triple wall
Board construction

Kraft liners (dark) bonded to fluted medium (waves). More walls = more stacking backbone — the exact minimums are in the IS 2771:2022 table below.

Reference values from IS 2771 (Part 1): 2022, Bureau of Indian Standards — the governing Indian specification for corrugated fibreboard boxes. We engineer to or beyond these minimums for your load.

Moisture & transit performance

Humidity is the silent killer of box performance: independent studies show corrugated board loses 30–40% of its compression strength at 80% relative humidity, and losses can exceed 50% at 90% RH — exactly the conditions inside a sea-freight container or a non-air-conditioned monsoon warehouse. Board moisture content roughly doubles between 50% RH and 90% RH, which is why a box that stacks perfectly in the plant can crumple mid-voyage. Our answer is engineering, not hope: coated liners, Cobb-verified boards and strength safety factors sized for the real environment your cartons will live in.

The Cobb test (IS 4006 / TAPPI T441) measures how many grams of water a square metre of board absorbs in a timed interval — lower is better. IS 2771:2022 caps water absorption at 225 g/m² over 30 minutes for standard board; export-grade moisture-resistant work typically demands Cobb values of 30–40 g/m² or lower, because material above ~45 g/m² shows measurable dimensional change in ordinary warehouse humidity. We test per lot and share the numbers, so "moisture-resistant" on our documentation is a measurement, not a marketing word.

Sustainability & commercials

Every tonne of recycled-fibre corrugated board avoids roughly 180 kg of CO₂ versus virgin production (DEFRA life-cycle factors), and industry equivalences credit each tonne of recycled paper with saving about 17 trees, ~26,500 litres of water and ~4,000 kWh of energy (US EPA). Corrugated is also India’s practical answer to the single-use-plastic phase-out: recyclable, repulpable and biodegradable in weeks rather than centuries.

Commercially, corrugated boxes fall under HSN 4819, and GST on corrugated boxes was reduced from 12% to 5% with effect from 22 September 2025 — worth re-checking on old supplier quotations. Pricing is driven by board grammage (GSM), ply, kraft paper prices (which rose ~6% through 2025), printing and quantity; we quote engineered specifications within 4 business hours, offer sampling before you commit, and support everything from trial lots to annual rate contracts.

Frequently asked questions

Which ports do you serve for export dispatches?

Our highway-adjacent plant aligns dispatches to Mundra, Hazira and Nhava Sheva schedules and cut-offs.

Can you print buyer-specified export markings?

Yes — handling symbols, consignee details, and country-specific marks are proofed and printed per your documentation.

What is the GST rate and HSN code for export packaging in India?

Corrugated boxes fall under HSN 4819; GST was reduced from 12% to 5% effective 22 September 2025 (56th GST Council). We invoice at the current applicable rate with full documentation.

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

MOQs depend on size and print complexity — trial lots are welcome, and repeat production is scheduled to committed dispatch dates. Sampling comes first on request; quotations are returned within 4 business hours.

Do you deliver export packaging near me in South Gujarat?

Yes — scheduled routes cover the full 160 km radius around our Kosamba, Surat plant (Surat, Hazira, Navsari, Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Vapi, Valsad, Daman, Silvassa, Vadodara), with pan-India full-truck programmes beyond it.
