FSSAI-Compliant Food-Grade Corrugated Packaging & Cold-Chain Solutions
ARUL RK ENTERPRISES manufactures certified food-grade corrugated packaging boxes engineered to uphold stringent food safety standards, preserve farm-to-table freshness, and resist cold-chain condensation. Produced in our hygienic manufacturing environment in Hosur (bordering Krishnagiri's agricultural belt and Bengaluru's FMCG processing centers), our cartons comply fully with Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations and international FDA food contact mandates.
Food items subject packaging materials to extreme physical and environmental challenges — including moisture release from agricultural respiration, oily and fatty food exudence, and refrigeration defrost cycles. We eliminate food contamination risks by formulating our boxes exclusively with virgin softwood pulp liners, food-grade water-based starch adhesives, PFAS-free aqueous oil-and-grease-resistant (OGR) coatings, and non-toxic, low-migration flexographic inks.
Certified Safety Standards & Functional Configurations
We engineer packaging across the agricultural, dairy, bakery, and cold-chain supply chains:
- 100% Virgin Kraft Linerboard — Zero recycled contaminants, heavy metals, or mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOSH/MOAH)
- FSSAI & US FDA 21 CFR 176.170 / 176.180 Compliant materials for direct and indirect contact with aqueous and fatty foods
- PFAS-Free Aqueous Grease & Moisture Barrier Coatings with OGR Kit Ratings up to 9 for oil and gravy repellency
- Hydro-Cooling & Cold-Chain Ventilated Trays designed for rapid forced-air precooling and ethylene gas dispersion
- Micro-Flute (E & B-Flute) Thermal Insulation Boxes with steam-release venting notches for bakery and QSR pizza deliveries
- Water-Based Food-Grade Flexo Printing utilizing heavy-metal-free, odor-free pigments that do not taint organoleptic food taste
Technical Specifications by Food Sector
Every food category requires specific barrier resistance, grammage balance, and ventilation engineering:
| Food Segment | Board Fluting Profile | Barrier Chemistry | Ventilation / Feature | Key Performance Metric |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Fruits & Vegetables (Agri) | 5-Ply BC Flute (7.0mm) or 3-Ply C-Flute | Anti-humidity Cobb 60 (<30 g/m²) | Precision aerodynamic slots (5–7% open area) | High wet-compression strength under 90% RH |
| Cold-Chain Seafood & Dairy | 5-Ply Heavy Virgin Kraft (BC Flute) | Double-sided PE / Aqueous moisture shield | Webbed leak-proof interlocking base corners | Zero box collapse during ice-melt transport |
| Bakery, Cakes & Confectionery | 3-Ply E-Flute (1.5mm) / B-Flute (3.0mm) | Food-grade SBS bleached white liner | Top viewing window or carry handle die-cut | Rigid wall protection against lateral crushing |
| QSR Pizza & Hot Deliveries | 3-Ply B-Flute or E-Flute Kraft | PFAS-free OGR Kit 7–9 grease barrier | Die-cut rear steam escape tabs | Retains heat while venting moisture vapor |
Serving South India's Agri & Food Processing Belts
Hosur is uniquely situated between Tamil Nadu's prime fruit belts (Krishnagiri mangoes, Dharmapuri tomatoes, Nilgiris vegetables) and Bengaluru's food tech packaging infrastructure:
- Horticultural Export Crates: Telescopic and self-erecting master cartons for export-quality mangoes, pomegranates, and fresh cut flowers with high stackability in refrigerated reefer containers.
- Dairy & Ice Cream Distribution: Heavy-gauge outer shippers that withstand minus 20°C blast freezer storage and refrigerated trunk logistics without delamination.
- Spices, Tea & Edible Oil Secondary Shippers: Moisture-tight corrugated outer cartons protecting retail pouches and bag-in-box liquids against puncture during multi-state transit.
- Quick Service Restaurants (QSR): Standard and custom pizza boxes, burger clamshells, and catering combo meal boxes with high-definition branding.
