LIMITATION OF SMEs

Most SMEs face difficulty to market their products to the premium markets (hypermarkets, hotels, export, etc.) due to various reasons.

The main reasons is said to be inferior packaging quality. However packaging is not just about design and packaging material. It is the final process of food production involving technology, system, equipment and material.

Product shelf life is also of main concern to the SMEs. Their products has short shelf life and the quality is not stable / not consistance. As a result their market is limited and their business cannot grow.

EXTENDING PRODUCT SHELF LIFE

There are several methods available to SMEs to extend food / product shelf life, as follows :

1. Vacuum Packaging Technology

2. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

3. Blast Chilling and Shock Freezing

4. Retort Flexible Packaging Technology

5. NANO Technology

The suitability of the above technology to each product depends on the type of products to be package, duration of required shelf life and also the market to penetrate.

Our management have been involved in the production of packaging material (for more than 30 years) and have been active in SME development in Malaysia (through NGOs). We fully understand the dilemma faced by the SMEs in their struggle to survive in business, especially in the current economic scenario.

We hope to share our experience with the SMEs to simplify their packaging problems and reduce their packaging cost so that they are able to compete in the ever challenging local and the global market.
