Welcome to the Department of Printing and Packaging Technology

The department was established in 1985 by our Founder, Principal, and Director, Dr. Pa. Bha. Kulkarni.

Thirty-five (35) batches have passed out from this department. The alums successfully work in print design, package design, print production, converting operations, the ink industry, paper and paperboard industry, security printing, currency note press, and many other areas. The field is vast, and the scope is enormous. The curriculum covers all aspects of graphic design, print media, and packaging and interdisciplinary courses like Computer, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Information technology, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and 3D Printing.

The growth of the packaging industry is almost at the rate of 22-25% per year. Today, the primary packaging materials are paper, wood, metal, glass, aluminium, foil, and plastic. Due to the growing awareness towards a sustainable future, the department is undertaking many recyclable and reusable innovative materials such as seaweed plastic, bagasse paper, jute paper, bioplastic, and their study. Looking at the future scope of Printed Electronics, the department organizes many sessions and workshops. The curriculum incorporates almost fifteen courses on Packaging Technology from the Second year to the Final Year. The department encourages many projects on printed electronics, color management, innovative package designing, and product innovation.
