Post from packaging south asia. “Hyderabad, India-based Citrus Packaging has invested in a Spande S7 8-color flexo press. Mr. Chenga Reddy, founder of Citrus Packaging, visited the Spande factory in Shanghai to familiarize himself with Spande’s flexo technology and sign the deal. The press will be displayed at Labelexpo Europe 2025 in Barcelona before being installed at the company’s plant in the last quarter of 2025.
Citrus pack developed ‘Citruseal’ labels for cigarette packs. Designed with a low-tack or specially formulated repositionable adhesive, these labels can be opened and resealed multiple times without losing their adhesion strength or damaging the pack. This feature is especially useful in flip-top or soft pack formats, where consumers may not finish the contents in a single use. By resealing the pack, the label helps protect the cigarettes from air exposure, thereby preserving their moisture, aroma, and quality.
Additionally, the use of paper substrates aligns with industry efforts to move toward eco-friendly packaging. These labels can be printed with branding elements or security features, offering both functionality and shelf appeal. As a simple yet effective enhancement, repositionable labels are redefining how cigarette packaging can deliver freshness and user satisfaction with minimal environmental impact.

Sports such as caroms, shuttle, chess, cricket etc. were organized thought a period of 15 days. The employees who win at the end of each game are rewarded at the Citrus Pack anniversary day celebration. This was found to be a booster to the morale of the staff.
