The partnership will focus on developing innovative, sustainable, and cost-efficient packaging materials for India Post, replacing conventional options like corrugated boxes and cloth wraps. Special attention will be given to airworthy packaging for liquids and other delicate items.
IIP will assess DoP’s current packaging practices against global standards and provide solutions that meet international benchmarks. This includes drafting a comprehensive pricing strategy and technical guidelines on size, shape, durability, and design, ensuring scalability for nationwide implementation.
The collaboration will also create training modules for postal staff, including instructional videos and graphics, aimed at educating employees on sustainable packaging techniques.
Leveraging Expertise and Nationwide Reach
With 58 years of experience in packaging technology, IIP brings extensive expertise to the table, while India Post’s network of over 1.65 lakh post offices ensures wide implementation of these solutions. This strategic alliance will provide safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible postal services across India.
By adopting eco-friendly materials and innovative designs, the MoU supports the government’s broader vision of environmental sustainability and modernizing public sector logistics.
