The Dharampal Satyapal (DS) Group, a rapidly growing multi-diversified conglomerate in India, has made a name for itself across high-growth sectors such as Food & Beverage, Hospitality, Mouth Fresheners, Tobacco, and Packaging. Its unwavering focus on quality and innovation has garnered a loyal following of consumers who trust the brand’s premium products. One such innovation that stands out is the exquisite Rajnigandha Pearls—a perfumed silver-coated elaichi (cardamom) mouth freshener that has redefined the market’s expectations.
The Birth of a Unique Mouth Freshener
In the pursuit of diversification and creating niche products, the inventive marketers at DS Group conceived Rajnigandha Silver Pearls. This mouth freshener is not just another product but a statement of luxury and elegance. Combining the aromatic essence of cardamom with the visual allure of silver coating, Rajnigandha Pearls offers a sophisticated and refreshing experience. Such a premium product deserves packaging that matches its calibre and conveys its superior quality to consumers at a glance.
The Need for Special Packaging
Creating the perfect packaging for Rajnigandha Pearls was a critical step in the product’s development. The goal was clear: every millimetre of the packaging needed to reflect the premium nature of the product inside. The DS Group turned to Avery Dennison India to achieve this, leveraging a strong relationship built on trust and previous successful collaborations.
Selecting the Perfect Prime Film
Avery Dennison India’s team worked closely with the DS Group’s New Packaging Development team to understand the specific requirements. The challenge was to create packaging that not only protected the product but also enhanced its premium appeal. Avery Dennison proposed using a luxurious embossed finish and employing advanced pressure-sensitive technology. It included a silver metallised paper label material that resonated with the product’s silver coating and provided an impressive shelf appeal.
The packaging development team suggested using a silver metallised paper label material. This choice instantly associated the packaging with the product’s silver coating, enhancing its premium image. Additionally, it provided a strikingly upscale shelf appeal. This choice of material was instrumental in elevating the Rajnigandha legacy to an unprecedented new level of prestige.
The Collaborative Effort
Once the label material was selected, the next phase involved proofing and prototyping the packaging designs. This process required meticulous attention to detail and close collaboration between the DS Group’s converter and Avery Dennison India. Over six months, various trials and learnings shaped the final packaging design. The ultimate test was ensuring the label’s high-speed application performance, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency in the production process.
