Alpana Parida, president at DY Works, has been in the news for being roped in to reinvent the look and packaging of Amul Kool Lassi.
Alpana, has on hands the task to revamp the existing packaging to a more comtemporary PET bottle design. While most of the peer companies have already moved to PET bottles, Alpana has the challenge to re-establish lassi in the modern space so as to appeal the youth and bring in health as the unique selling proposition.
According to Alpana, the objective of conceptualising the revamp was manifold. "To begin with, the design packaging has to be at par with the current trends and also, at the same time, captalise on gaining popularity as a healthy and natural beverage."
The design expert will showcase the changing and emerging trends in the print and packaging space at the Print Fair on 6 November. The attendees at the Print Fair, a mix of students, designers, print production professionals, print buyers, and brand owners, will paly audience to Alpana's 'sustainability innovations in print and packaging' presentation.
