While Indiastar Awards are conferred by the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), SIES School of Packaging Star Awards, as the name suggests, are presented by SIES, which is credited for churning out some of the finest packaging professionals in the country.

Uflex received the Indiastar Awards for its two entries — Kasturikka extra long grain premium basmati rice (an easy carry and re-closable bag for commodities) and Too Yumm! (featuring profile pouch with superior aesthetics). 

The company won the both Indiastar Award 2017 and the SIES SOP Star Award 2017 for its three entries. These are Paras Ghee (profile pouch for liquid with a sonically sealed spout with anti-counterfeiting features); Cast 'n' Cure Nescafe Pack (Seal of Authenticity) (enhanced anti-counterfeiting feature) and Keshar Kali Rice (re-closable bags for bulk products).

Meanwhile, Uflex received two more individual SIES SOP Star Awards for its entries Tilda Basmati Rice (easy carry and re-closable bulk bag) and Kohinoor extra long basmati rice (anti-skid, high aesthetic pack).

Ashok Chaturvedi, chairman and managing director, Uflex, said, “These awards have a very special connotation associated with them. Declared by renowned institutions that are revered as the final authority on innovation, design and development of packaging in our country these award winning products have created an altogether different league for themselves as a testament towards their aesthetical and functional excellence. Uflex is humbled at this occasion and is inspired to develop yet enhanced flexible packaging solutions in future.”
