Strengthening Industry Engagement Through Thought Leadership and Collaboration
Advancing the Sustainability Dialogue at Indian Packaging Summit 2026
As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible and practical innovation, Sachin Gupta, Head – Product Management & Marketing (APAC), Signode, addressed industry leaders at the 1st Indian Packaging Summit 2026, sharing Signode’s perspective on the evolving role of sustainability in transit packaging.
During his address, Sachin highlighted how sustainability has transitioned from being a conceptual discussion to a strategic business priority, influenced by regulatory frameworks, market expectations, and internal organisational vision. He emphasized that meaningful progress requires a balanced approach, being one that integrates environmental responsibility with economic viability and operational feasibility.
The session also focused on real world challenges such as cost constraints, material availability, and change management across supply chains, reinforcing the need for cost efficient, application driven solutions. From material substitution and reduction of wood usage to alternative load stabilisation technologies and transit protection systems, the discussion reflected Signode’s practical, customer centric approach to sustainability.
Engaging with the Corrugated Packaging Ecosystem at Corru Pack & Print India
Complementing this thought leadership, Signode participated in the 2nd edition of Corru Pack & Print India, engaging with stakeholders across the corrugated packaging and printing ecosystem.
The exhibition served as a valuable platform to interact with converters, manufacturers, and industry partners, exchange insights on evolving packaging requirements, and discuss practical approaches to performance driven and sustainable transit packaging.
