Noida, U.P.: UFlex Limited, one of the world’s leading player in polymer plastic and India’s largest multinational flexible packaging materials & solution company, has launched a cutting-edge packaging solution called ‘Asepto Eye’ for the beverages segment at the GulFood Manufacturing 2019 being held in Dubai from October 29-31, 2019. As the curtains rose on ‘Asepto Eye’, the newest offering from Asepto that gives a stylish revival to 
aseptic packaging, it made a strong impact on the visitors at the global exhibition acknowledged for its packaging excellence, taking forward the innovative trail that the brand Asepto professes.
‘Asepto Eye’ is a ripple concave lens and single lens technology that gives 3-D effects on the aseptic packs. These lenses come in various sizes & shapes and offers bespoke artwork, as per the clients’ requirements.
Speaking about the launch of this innovative solution, Ashwani Sharma, CEO and President of Aseptic Liquid Packaging Business at Uflex Ltd. said, “Asepto Eye is truly revolutionary in all respect and will change the concept of beverage packaging for years to come. The cutting-edge Asepto Eye technology having lens effect in packaging is unprecedented and offers myriad choices to manufacturers to be distinct on the shelves, and also add a premium value to their brand through our packaging.” The shape of the lenses has many varieties to address diverse packaging innovations.
Aseptic Brick Packs are the most popular format amongst the ranges available in the market. Sharing his insights, Sharma added, “There was a demand for something radically distinctive in aseptic packaging. There were no other value-additions for aseptic packs to stand out on shelves, which made brands confined to exploring designing different packaging shapes and sizes or consider color options to seek customer attention. Therefore, our newest concept of aesthetic rejuvenation brings to the table a variety of option like foil-stamping, holography and 3D effects to communicate with end-consumers better, when the packs are on shelves. These options were never explored in aseptic packs since the packaging process is complex and everyone played safe. This launch will not only enhance the look of aseptic packs, it will also help them communicate well with purchasers.”
Sharma continued, “Significant in-house investments were made in backward engineering to offer the complete packaging solution in aseptic packaging. Through Asepto Eye, we are offering a packaging USP of aesthetics and unique identity to product packaging. Am pleased to note that at the GulFood Manufacturing 2019, Asepto Eye has been quite a revelation and has received appreciation from different quarters.”
