SK Agrofood Tech Pvt Ltd, a key entity within India’s ₹50,000 Crore flexible packaging sector, has secured a significant manufacturing and supply contract for Zesty Bites, the recently unveiled food division of Padmaja Packaging Industries. This collaboration comes on the heels of the April 14, 2026, announcement from Padmaja Packaging Industries regarding its expansion into the snack food market. By appointing SKAFT as its lead packaging partner, Padmaja is utilizing Sk Agro Food Tech Pvt Ltd world-class "Zero-Contamination" technology to guarantee that the "Zesty Bites" lineup—which includes chips, wafers, and traditional namkeen—retains its essential crunch and quality.

This agreement arrives at a critical juncture as "Zesty Bites" gears up for a nationwide retail launch in May 2026. To support this initiative, Sk Agro Food Tech Pvt Ltd will apply its sophisticated European-standard high-barrier films and rotogravure printing capabilities to provide:

Driving the Snack Revolution

• Superior Shelf-Life: Multi-layer laminates designed specifically to serve as a complete barrier against oxygen and moisture.
• Vibrant Branding: High-precision graphics developed to make sure "Zesty Bites" captures attention on both e-commerce platforms and supermarket shelves.
• Operational Scale: Leveraging the Sk Agro Food Tech Pvt Ltd Satara plant, which reported an annual turnover of INR 610 Crore, to handle high-volume production requirements.

"We are thrilled to be the chosen backbone for Padmaja Packaging’s visionary leap into the food sector," said the Sk Agro Food Tech Pvt Ltd Leadership Team. "Securing this huge order for Zesty Bites is a testament to our ability to deliver precision at scale. Our technology doesn't just wrap a product; it protects the integrity of a brand’s promise to its consumers. "
