Product packaging & design

Packaging that lets SHG products command their price.

Bring your finished products to our Agartala facility. We seal, label, shrink-wrap and carton them with professional designs made for your group, so they leave ready for a shelf, a mela or an online order.

Packaging that lets SHG products command their price.

Overview

Where value is made

The same bamboo earring sells at two very different prices depending on whether it is handed over in a plastic pouch or a finished gift box. Packaging is the lowest-cost, highest-return step available to a rural producer, because it raises the price without changing the product.

We have installed new packaging machines in Agartala so that SHGs do not each need to buy their own. Groups deliver their finished products to our facility, and we create the finished packaging — sealed, labelled and ready to sell.
