AVI Global Plast has entered into a licensing partnership with Smart Packaging Industries AS to manufacture Q-Bic punnets in India

April 13th, 2026: AVI Global Plast Pvt. Ltd. has entered into a licensing partnership with Smart Packaging Industries AS to manufacture Q-Bic punnets in India, bringing a new level of packing efficiency to fresh produce supply chains.

This collaboration addresses a clear operational challenge: how to move more product within the same footprint without compromising protection or consistency. By combining Q-Bic’s cubic design with AVI Global Plast’s manufacturing scale, the result is packaging that performs better where it matters most, across real supply chain conditions.

Traditional punnets nest well when empty, but create gaps once filled. Across pallets, this leads to significant unused space and lower packing efficiency. Q-Bic punnets solve this through cubic geometry. Filled packs align tightly, reducing empty space and improving the utilization of cartons and pallets.

In commercial applications, this translates to:

50% reduction in unused transport volume
2x more punnets per pallet
59% reduction in corrugated material in certain formats

The impact is immediate. More product per shipment, fewer pallets, lower handling costs, and better cold-chain efficiency.

With AVI Global Plast manufacturing Q-Bic punnets in India, these advantages are now accessible at scale. Local production reduces lead times, improves supply reliability, and enables faster adoption of high-performance packaging across both domestic and export markets.

Combining design with manufacturing precision

Q-Bic’s performance depends on consistent execution. Variations in forming or material can affect alignment and stacking behavior.

AVI Global Plast’s integrated approach across material control, extrusion, and thermoforming ensures dimensional accuracy and repeatability. This allows the packaging to perform as intended, not just in design, but in real operations.

Packaging today is evaluated across the entire system, not as a standalone unit.

Q-Bic punnets support:

Stronger pallet stability
More uniform load distribution
Reduced product movement during transit

These directly influence product quality, shelf life, and consistency at the destination. AVI Global Plast extends its appreciation to Innovation Norway and Antrikch Rastogi for their support of this collaboration.

This partnership is not just about introducing a new punnet format. It is about enabling packaging that delivers measurable efficiency across the supply chain.

When geometry, material, and manufacturing are aligned, packaging moves beyond containment. It becomes a driver of better logistics, lower costs, and more reliable outcomes at scale.To learn more about our solutions, contact us here:
