In aseptic liquid packaging, Uflex showcased its prowess in holographic and foil stamping and lensed aseptic packaging. On display were 200- and 1000-ml packs, which are one of its kind and first-time innovations done at Uflex’s Asepto.

The Asepto holographic innovation has all the capabilities for strengthening the market share of beverage and dairy manufacturers around the world, for growing markets like India. The critical facet that makes Asepto surpass all contemporaries is its ability to offer aesthetic transformation for brands.
