Rise of Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Packaging
The Indian gift packaging industry is rapidly adopting sustainable materials due to rising environmental awareness and stricter regulatory frameworks promoting eco-friendly practices. Manufacturers are shifting toward biodegradable, recyclable, and reusable packaging solutions, incorporating materials such as kraft paper, jute, and plant-based inks. The emphasis on reducing plastic usage has led to innovations like seed-infused wrapping paper and fabric-based gift wraps, catering to consumer preferences for sustainable gifting. Corporate entities are integrating eco-friendly packaging into their gifting strategies to enhance their brand image and align with global sustainability goals. A notable example is Gifts World Expo 2024, that took place at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, in July 2024. Organized by MEX Exhibitions, the event featured a dedicated Sustainable Products Zone, showcasing biodegradable packaging, luxury gifts, and AI-driven innovations. This exhibition underscores the industry's commitment to environmentally responsible packaging, fostering collaborations that drive sustainability-focused advancements.
Growth of Personalization and Customization in Gift Packaging
Customization is becoming a key driver in India’s gift packaging market, with businesses and consumers seeking tailor-made solutions to enhance gifting experiences. Advanced digital printing enables intricate designs, personalized messages, and branding elements, catering to both personal and corporate needs. The demand for luxury packaging, including monogrammed boxes, bespoke ribbons, and embossed wrapping papers, is growing, particularly for weddings and high-end corporate gifts. E-commerce and small businesses are leveraging customization to improve customer engagement, offering unique unboxing experiences. For instance, in January 2025, Paperworld India and Corporate Gifts Show 2025 showcased innovations in stationery, paper products, and corporate gifting, with a focus on sustainability and customization. The event featured segments such as educational toys, pharma packaging, and eco-friendly gifting. With rising demand for personalized gifting in India, exhibitors presented creative solutions, including digital learning tools and green stationery.
