Infrastructure

Our Infrastructure

Lykapack has a long-standing commitment to sustainability in manufacturing. The company also cares for our environment. This includes implementing steps to minimize energy and resource consumption and monitoring the waste generated in our plastic injection moulding processes and facilities.

Factory Infrastructure

Lykapack operates from two factory locations at Akanad, a picturesque village close to the Cochin International Airport. The facility is intelligently planned with its well-laid-out machinery and ancillaries. Safety and hygiene are of utmost importance thus rendering a clean, safe and comfortable working environment. The critical areas on the production floor are PU coated to safeguard the final products from dust or pest.

Moulding Facility

Working 24/7; the moulding floor at Lykapack houses 17 state-of-the-art injection moulding machines. Each of these machines has a capacity ranging between 110 T to 230 T and 100 gm shot size to 450 gm shot size. Meeting the pre-requisite of the packaging industry; most of these machines consist of accumulator-assisted injection units enabling thin-walled moulding. The high-quality moulds work at a speed of an article every two seconds, facilitating timely supply despite large volume requirements. The precision and consistency of the product quality are ensured by working in a controlled environment. Lykapack’s production area is spread around 50,000 Sq Ft.

In-Mould Labeling (IML)

We entered into IML in 2012, which was way before the market started accepting it. It is always the responsibility of a reputed leader in any field to set the course for what will unravel in the future. Now we have 10 IML robots running efficiently, making attractive products for the biggest brands. We have essentially mastered this process in a short time and more IML robots are soon to join our existing fleet.

Printing Facility

Lykapack is equipped with three dry offset printing machines. These machines are fully automated warranting superior quality print at reasonable cost. These high-speed machines can print up to eight colours on round containers sizing up to 125mm diameter. Special pad printers are used for printing on lids and caps.

Mould-making and Maintenance

Design and fabrication of mould is probably the most important part of the business and the first step towards that perfect packaging material. We have our tool room for making moulds as per customer demands. We have dedicated software for product designing. Our tool room is equipped with CNC machines and skilled manpower. In addition to mould making and maintenance, the tool room caters the End of the Arm Tooling (EOAT) for the IML robots.

Quality Control

Lyka Packaging Pvt. Ltd. is committed to meet customers stated and implied needs by offering products of the right quality at right time at competitive prices through continuous improvement of all its process. That is the self-imposed quality policy that each member of Lykapack stands by. Lykapack got its ISO certification way back in year 2000 and got it updated to ISO 9001:2015. The ISO system has been continuously revised and all the benchmarks thus set are diligently followed by every team member. Continuous training, practical experience and careful operations by staff members enable the delivery of the best results every time.

Research & Development

When you buy a product from Lyka, you are also getting exposed to more than 35 years of experience in food packaging. The processes to make and deliver a fine product, range from seemingly simple factors such as the container colour to intricate matters such as product stackability and dispensing of the packed content, the percentage of additives used to meet service condition requirements, the viscosity of the ink in the print, and even the way products are loaded in the vehicle. We are enthusiastic to take care of all such problems of yours. We have a fully functional Research & Development team that anticipates and makes solutions to issues in plastic food packaging. Our R&D team regularly interacts with reputed engineering universities and plastic institutes to make the perfect product for you.

Contamination Control

Our country is currently one of the fastest-growing nations, a fact that makes all of us proud. Along with this increased development, the expectations of the consumer also grow. The demand by consumers to receive food items in pure hygiene packaging is increasing every day. In addition to carefully observing the market trends and advancements in products and technology, we give equal importance to understand and adapt to the hygiene expectations of consumers. Our plant, processes, and systems are well adapted to incorporate contamination control measures in the products you receive at your end. Our plant is properly sealed to minimize the entry of foreign particles. The production floor is mopped every two hours to collect any dust accumulated. There are air showers and PU curtains at every entry and exit point, only through which anyone can enter or leave the plant. Being a food packaging plant, everyone wears head caps inside.

100% Product Traceability

We have immense responsibility for the fact that we manufacture products for the food industry. To fulfil this responsibility, we have designed our software to monitor the handling of raw materials at all stages of production. The product cartons you receive are QR coded, which contains complete product information such as technical information about the raw materials, the complete production parameters, comments on the quality check, and much more.

Around 3 tons of raw materials get converted into about 2,00,000 products in our plant daily and get delivered to customers spread all over the country. With such an extensive traceable system, we essentially become well-equipped to pinpoint any complaints and rectify those immediately. As we have an elaborate network of more than 500 customers, our QR code system works dynamically to identify any defective batch of production and arrest the delivery of products of the same batch. In any mass production system, there is a possibility of having certain defective products at random. What our smart QR code system means for you is that the chance of receiving a non-functional product is virtually nil when you choose us for your packaging needs.
