From a Small Printing press to making TheBiggest Printing and Packaging setup of North Karnataka, an exclusive coverage by Ice Cream Times Newspaper with Amey A. Patil
Tell us something about your company and your journey so far.
Yarbal was started by my father Shri. Ajit G. Patil and another partner in 1986. Under his leadership and guidance soon Yarbal became a name of quality in printing, in and around Belgaum. This principle became my pillars and since my joining, the core foundation of quality and ethical business stood as a basic value in my life. From an early age, I used to like the smell of the offset printing ink, till today, whenever I smell it I feel like home, this might be the aroma or DNA of becoming the Printer.
Thus, my journey started 10 years back, from a small printing press to make it the biggest printing and packaging set up in the whole North Karnataka. At the onset, my work started by converting 8 mt per annum to 1200 mt per annum and further extended to 2 color offset machine to owning the biggest offset printing machine, thus making it a printing and packaging giant with 18 color unit printing company in North Karnataka.
We are now having robotic series of finishing equipment that enables hands-free technology for germs- free production. We are now leading suppliers for ice cream manufacturers in south India, We are the first to win National Award for Ice cream Carton in India in the year 2020. I believe that how stronger your urge for development is directly related to the amount of success you get. I believe in Success is where preparation and opportunity meet! Best machines, Best workforce attracts best Customers!
These are my equations in life. I think this is just a beginning, we are learning new things, and new concepts/ideas are the ongoing processes that are infinity. In my journey, I am thankful for the support of my customers, vendors, and other associates who believed in us and made Belgaum evolved as a Printing and Packaging Hub. My journey does not complete without the efforts of my team and workforce. We always ensure a safe environment for our workforce and customers to make the packaging totally hygienic and recyclable!

The World has created a lot of noise about the plastic ban, but the period of the pandemic has experienced double use of it. What are your comments?
Yes, single-use plastic was in double use as there was no restriction for the use. Also due to the pandemic, all people were panicky as there was no time to ban plastics. This is being stopped now, and in near future, this will come to an end. There is no total substitute available as of now; hence some people are using it. Sudden lockdown of the country created a shortage in production, so the stocks which were kept ideal of plastics came into use.
Pandemic outburst has put a lot of force on packet food. How has this been beneficial to you, how do you see post-pandemic period regarding the growth of your business?
Yes as our Honorable PM rightly said that there is an opportunity in every crisis!
Due to our Government initiatives people are now self-educated and they have seen the importance to preserve our nature, as nature has shown its harsh treatment in the form of this virus. In this pandemic, we ran a social media campaign on FB and insta as hastag# “PLANET OVER PLASTICS” POP it captured a lot of attention and growth in Take away Packs, this pandemic gained importance to immunity and health hence people concentrated on immunity products and hygienic packaging.
In this pandemic people said the investment is not advisable, but we invested in a Takeaway pack segment and brought an imported machine just after lockdown, which helped us a lot to convert the ice cream board which was left unconsumed because of lockdown in the main ice cream season of 2020. We converted this paperboard into a leak-proof carton, thus allowing us to make lunch boxes, Franky box, burger box, etc, many dine-in services for the hotel were closed due to pandemic, hence many hoteliers concentrated in Takeaway Parcel Systems which gained huge volume.
Post pandemic period of business is really good, Food Packet consumption has increased, the pending events of pandemic have suddenly started and hence the consumption has doubled up, further after vaccination, the consumption of the Food packets may go up on a higher side. The pandemic gave importance to hygienic packaging and hence now manufacturers are concentrating on eco-friendly, recyclable packaging solutions.
Yarbal has received a national award in 2020 for ice cream cartons in the packing division. Your excerpts on it.
Yes we received National Award for Ice cream Carton in 2020, the carton is developed for Ideal Ice Creams Mangalore. It has a unique combination of metallic effects and multicolor printing, which was unique in the market and is a combination of metalized coating and conventional ink printing, which gives the result of UV printing without using UV inks thus making it a total Food grade product.
Therefore, the Carton grabbed the award for its uniqueness. Our packaging was selected from a total of 1500 participants from all over India This National Award ceremony is supported by Ministry of Commerce and Industries Government of India which was organized by All India Federation of Master Printer Association (AIFMA) in The Westin Garden City Hotel Mumbai on 8 Jan 2020.
What are your future plans in automated packaging?
We Believe In Hands-Free Production For Germs Free Packaging.
We are fully automatic Press for the ice cream industry now. We have robotic machinery which will remove the cup/cone lids for ice cream manufacturers it’s a hand free process hence making it a hygienic packaging. We believe that automation is the source of giving the best quality. We are upgrading our machinery every year and believe that investment is not one time it’s an ongoing process throughout the year!
We believe that Automation solves the problems automatically, we sell solutions to others problem. We are planning to come up with aluminum foil coated takeaway packs, which will keep the food warm inside the packaging during transit. We are also having an online tracking facility that ensures job tracking and delivery details of any job on fingertips.
Any added information you would like to share with our readers other than the questions above?
Life is not about expecting, hoping, and wishing. It’s about doing, being, and becoming. This pandemic has thought us new things, we all have come close to nature and we in any field should do something to preserve our mother nature. We should stop using products that are hazardous to nature. We are now having paper packs which are totally eco-friendly and we convert the products at our end which comes with this nature, for example, ITC Fillow pack is the next trend we have started using it, it’s totally plastic-free board and is used for Ice cream cartons, cup lids, and Food Packs now.
