Udyog Vihar packs for export more than it packs for India. That single fact changes the brief: the carton has to survive a container and a buyer's inspection, and the specification is usually somebody else's.
Udyog Vihar · Gurugram, Haryana
Udyog Vihar Phases I to VI sit against the Delhi border and hold garment and apparel export units, light assembly, electronics and a growing amount of office and service occupancy. The manufacturing that remains is largely export-facing.
PackForge Industries supplies from our works at Faridabad. This page is about the packing an export unit actually does, and where a machine helps.
A garment export carton is light, large and easily crushed. It rarely bursts. It arrives squashed, and it arrives squashed because of what was stacked on it in a container, not because the tape gave way.
Packing can only partly solve that, and it is worth being straight about it. What packing can do is hold the carton's shape: two straps under moderate tension keep a light carton square under a stack far better than tape alone.
Tension is the setting to get right. Too high and the strap cuts into the carton edge, which is a rejection at inspection; too low and it does nothing. Edge protectors solve the rest, and they cost very little.
Almost everything that leaves a garment unit is bagged before it is boxed, and the sealer is chosen by the widest bag you use rather than by the garment.
A band or impulse sealer covers it. The seal quality question is heat and dwell time against the film thickness you buy — a setting, not a machine property, and one worth setting against your own bags at commissioning.
Where the pack is presentation-facing rather than protective — a retail-ready pack for a buyer's own shelf — shrink packaging is the range rather than anything carton-based.
Most export buyers issue a carton specification: dimensions, board grade, tape width, label position, sometimes the number of straps and where they go.
Send it with the enquiry. It answers most of what we would otherwise have to ask, and it is the difference between a machine specified against your actual work and one specified against a general description.
Where the specification names something the machine cannot do, we will say so before you buy rather than after. That happens more often with strap position than with anything else.
An export unit is charged on whichever is greater, the actual weight or the volume, and garments lose that comparison every time. A carton that is half air is a carton you are paying freight on twice.
Compression before boxing is where the saving is, not in the box. Garments that are bagged and then bundled under moderate pressure before they go into the shipper take measurably less volume than the same garments boxed loose, and the difference runs straight to the freight bill on every consignment for the life of the style.
That is a strapping and bundling question rather than a sealing one, and it is worth measuring on one shipment before deciding anything. Pack ten cartons each way and compare the cube. It is an afternoon's work and it settles an argument that otherwise runs for years.
Udyog Vihar units are often on several floors, with a lift that was sized for people rather than pallets. That rules a pallet line out and puts the weight on trolleys.
Material handling trolleys do most of the work. Where there is a ground-floor dispatch bay and pallets are made up there, a hydraulic hand pallet truck earns its place — but only there.
Tell us the approach with the enquiry: the lift size, the staircase, and where the machine will actually stand. It is the most common avoidable problem on a multi-storey installation.
An export order goes through sampling and pre-production long before it goes through a packing line, and the packing decisions get made in those stages by people who are thinking about the garment.
The pattern we see repeatedly: the sample is packed by hand, beautifully, by somebody senior. It is approved. Then production packs the same thing at forty times the rate with a different person on each shift, and it does not look the same. The buyer's inspector compares production against the approved sample and the difference is in the packing rather than the garment.
Pack the sample the way production will actually pack it. If the run will be machine-sealed and strapped, seal and strap the sample. If the tension will be set on a machine, set it and record it. An approved sample that production cannot reproduce is a trap you have built for yourself.
This is also the moment to find out whether the buyer's specification is achievable. If the standard asks for a strap position that the carton cannot take without an edge protector, better to know at sampling than at the first shipment. Send us the specification at that stage and we will tell you honestly what it needs.
Lower the tension and use edge protectors. Tension is a setting, not a fixed property of the machine, and it is the first thing to check.
It is chosen by the widest bag you use, not by the garment. Send the bag width and the film thickness.
Tell us at the enquiry stage — lift size, staircase and where the machine will stand. It rules some machines out, and that is much better known before delivery day.
Send it. It answers most of what we would otherwise ask, and where it names something a machine cannot do we will say so before you buy.
Yes — export packing, documentation and freight are handled from our end where you want them to be. Tell us the destination port and whether you have your own forwarder.
Send your carton size, load weight or line speed and we will tell you which machine fits — including the times when the cheaper machine is the right answer. Prices are ex works from our Faridabad works; GST and freight are quoted separately against your delivery address.
