On November 14, 2025, a professional delegation composed of leading enterprises and core industry players from India’s booming food and beverage industry paid an official visit to OPT’s intelligent and state-of-the-art manufacturing base in Jingjiang. The team launched a comprehensive, in-depth factory inspection, focusing on verifying the company’s overall production capacity, standardized quality control systems, and professional customized technical solutions for food-grade labeling products. Ms. Zhu, a senior executive at OPT with decades of rich practical experience in global food labeling R&D and market application, warmly received the foreign guests and presided over the entire exchange activity. What began as a routine factory tour quickly developed into a detailed, high-value technical in-depth dialogue, fully demonstrating OPT’s solid professional accumulation, rigorous independent R&D strength, and precise industry insight embedded in every customized label product.
As one of the most vibrant and fast-evolving consumer markets worldwide, India’s food and beverage industry puts forward extremely stringent and personalized performance requirements for packaging labels, posing complex challenges that most ordinary labeling suppliers cannot fully tackle. Labels applied to Indian food products must withstand severe high-temperature thermal pressure during industrial high-speed filling and sealing procedures, where operational temperatures often exceed 120°C, a harsh environment that easily causes ordinary labels to warp, shrink or completely lose adhesive tension. Besides high-temperature resistance, the labels need long-term tolerance to various oils, greases, thick sauces and fatty food ingredients, which would erode inferior adhesives and fade low-quality printing inks over time. Furthermore, India’s lengthy and complex supply chain features frequent humidity changes, drastic temperature differences and long-distance cross-tropical transportation, demanding labels to maintain stable adhesion, clear printing readability and complete structural integrity from factory production to terminal retail shelves. The Indian delegation carried these core and non-negotiable industry requirements throughout the visit, aiming to select not a simple printing supplier, but a professional long-term technical partner capable of mastering label material science and developing fully customized solutions for local market pain points.
Accompanied by Ms. Zhu, the delegation visited OPT’s professional advanced material testing laboratory, the core functional department that conducts full-performance verification of all label materials before mass production. The OPT technical team launched intuitive on-site simulation tests, systematically comparing the adaptive performance of different adhesive formulas under high-temperature and oily working environments, perfectly restoring the actual application scenarios of local Indian food production. The delegation witnessed a sharp contrast: ordinary industrial adhesive labels quickly curled, lifted and delaminated under 120°C high-temperature conditions, while OPT’s self-developed heat-stable adhesive labels remained flat, firmly bonded and distortion-free. The real-time visual test results were more convincing than written technical parameters, leaving a profound positive impression on the visiting team. On this basis, Ms. Zhu introduced a tailor-made multi-layer label structure exclusively optimized for India’s food industry scenarios, including heat-resistant PET base material as the stable bottom layer, professional oil-proof overprint varnish to isolate grease and moisture, and food-safe high-tack adhesive adapted to smooth, curved and slightly oily container surfaces. This mature structural solution has passed rigorous repeated tests and been successfully applied in multiple high-temperature and high-humidity tropical markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, with stable and reliable practical application effects.
The subsequent technical discussions extended beyond basic material selection, covering key core fields such as international regulatory compliance, food safety standards and long-term product durability. The delegation put forward detailed questions about India’s local food-contact labeling regulations, focusing on the strict compliance requirements of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and mandatory substance migration testing standards to prevent harmful component precipitation. Ms. Zhu comprehensively shared OPT’s mature experience in global food-grade certification compliance, elaborating on ISO-standard migration testing processes, complete material safety data sheets and standardized document management systems, which effectively help customers simplify customs clearance and regulatory approval procedures for entering the Indian market. She also explained the excellent shelf-life performance of OPT’s products: the high-grade UV-cured ink system can effectively resist fading, discoloration and surface abrasion after long-term exposure to retail light and high-temperature warehouse storage. Targeting the common industry pain point of unstable ink adhesion on different label base materials, the OPT team displayed comparative test samples, proving that its printing technology can maintain superior and consistent adhesion performance on both coated and uncoated facestocks, completely eliminating customers’ concerns about print quality and durability.
After the laboratory technical exchange, the delegation visited OPT’s standardized production workshop and observed the customized label solution being formally produced on high-precision Gallus flexographic presses. Witnessing the mature transformation from theoretical technical design to high-quality finished products connected OPT’s laboratory innovation strength and practical production capacity, completing a full-cycle technical verification. The delegation spoke highly of OPT’s advanced production equipment, dust-free standardized production environment and perfect quality management system, and more recognized the company’s proactive and customer-centric professional technical service before order cooperation.
At the end of the visit, the Indian food industry delegation fully affirmed and trusted OPT’s comprehensive strength as a strategic labeling solution partner. This exchange further consolidated OPT’s core development philosophy: high-performance food labels rely on professional scientific design, rigorous performance testing and targeted customized development, rather than simple printing production. In the fiercely competitive global food packaging market, customers need not only qualified label products, but professional partners with in-depth industry insight, stable technical support and synchronous growth capability. This successful inspection and technical dialogue has laid a solid foundation for long-term win-win cooperation between OPT and India’s food industry, and marked another solid milestone in OPT’s global layout of high-end food-grade labeling solutions.
