Think of unwrapping a hot, cheesy pizza, only to be struck by a pungent paper smell. The texture is off, the smell is amiss, and the complete experience is marred. The reality is, this is not a rarity in India in the present day.
Non-availability of Aroma Free paper for Pizza Boxes and Master Cartons has emerged as a critical area for concern, given the fact that markets driven by foods such as India have a rapidly increasing growth rate in home deliveries, takeaways, and cloud kitchens. Non-availability of such papers tends to create consumer dissatisfaction, thereby causing deviations in Migrant Food safety standards.
At Shitla Papers, we recognize that this challenge, besides being a matter of supply, represents a responsibility to preserve the quality of food.

Why Odour-Free Paper Matters More Than Ever
Food packaging is not just about strength or appearance anymore. It plays a critical role in food safety, hygiene, and sensory experience.
The Real Problem with Non-Odour-Free Paper
Pizza boxes, in many cases, and Master Cartons in the Indian market are made from:
- Recycled paper reeking of heavy metals
- Poorly treated Kraft liners
- Lack of consistent grades on paper that lacks food-grade
- Transfer unwanted odors to food
- Affect taste and freshness
- Performance against FSSAI and Global Food Safety Requirements
- Harm Brand Reputation
In the pizza brands, fast food chains, bakeries, and exporters, this poses a quiet yet expensive risk.
Food Safety Norms in India: A Wake-Up Call
Consumers are becoming more conscious regarding hygiene, food quality, and packaging. Government agencies are also becoming more strict regarding:
- Food contact materials
- Smell and contamination hazards
- Migration of chemicals into food
Using a paper which is not food grade or odor-causing paper could very well land a business on the wrong side of the line when dealing with high-end brands or even export sales.
