I also got a chance to visit India Institute Packaging. This institute is an independent one, they are not depend on the government. They have show room of all the local India packaging manufacturing (not only corrugating equipment). This manufacturer has to make contribution for this show room.

They also has research and development library to make a test and innovation as requested by the market.

During my visit they make a box for tomato and special easy tear folding box for candy. The institute provide regular and irregular training. They also make publishment and quite a good library as well.

And on the way we passed by Gate of India and take a picture beside the sea.
