EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Packaging is the use of the containers and components with the addition of labeling
to protect, identify, merchandise and facilitate the use of the product. Even the
nature gifted us various items with packaging though they are not labeled. But all
is done only to protect it and to provide the ease to user. From very early ages men
became aware about the importance of the packaging and various processes were
started to get safe, hygiene, facilitated goods with different type of packaging, not
even the food items got attention for packaging but also the other livelihoods were
paid attention in this regard especially when we concern the marketing prospects. It
is impossible for all kind of industry to make the goods and then also got the
expertise of their product’s packaging. They try to save their opportunities and get
the packaging material of their choice from other packaging industry.

INTRODUCTION TO PACKAGES LIMITED

Rapid growth of industrial economy bases on different factors Packaging is one of them.
Packages Limited was born out of a dream to set up in Pakistan industries of excellence
based on local raw material and talent. Packages Limited is a leading packaging
manufacturing company of Pakistan. It is the sole largest industry in Pakistan serving
about the 35% needs of the country. Syed Baber Ali Shah, who was the first managing
director of Packages Limited, went to Sweden in 1954 to negotiate the contract with
Akerland & Rausing of Sweden. Akerland & Rausing had been the leading paper
converters in Europe. In Pakistan, there was no previous experience of a packaging
industry. Therefore, Pakistanis needed technical collaboration with their Swedish
partners. In the beginning, the first problem was the selection of site. Finally, Lahore was
selected due to the following reasons:

• Easy availability of workers.


• Easy availability of raw material.
• Easy transportation all over the country.

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam

So, Ali family provided the capital, land, labor, management and local experts while their
partners provided technology, machinery, experts and also training to Pakistanis. Syed
Baber Ali was the first Managing Director.Mr. Syed Mratib Ali Shah laid the foundation
stone on The 26th of March 1956. The construction was started from the Solid Board
Department and by the end of October, 1956 the main shed of the factory was completed.
At the same time the Swedish engineers with the help of Pakistani staff installed
machinery. Packages Limited started operating in May 1957 with a paid up capital of
Rs. 4.94 million as a joint venture between the Ali group and Akerlund & Rausing of
Sweden. In the beginning 22 Swedish experts came to Pakistan to run the factory and to
train the Pakistani staff. In 1958 production of packaging cartons for different industries
was started. Usually, the
packaging cartons are for Soaps, Confectionery, Biscuits, Cigarettes, Tea, Pharmaceutical
products and many other products.
Over the years, the Company continued to enhance its facilities to meet the growing
demand of packaging products. Additional capital was raised from sponsors, International
Finance Corporation and from the public in making the total paid up capital to Rs. 31
million in 1965.
As a first step, Packages commissioned its own paper mill in 1968 having production
capacity of 24000 tones of paper & paper board based on waste paper, agricultural waste,
wheat straw and kahi grass. As the demand continued to grow, it led the Company to
expand and the end of 1995 increased its annual capacity to 50000 tones of paper & board
and corresponding converting ability.

Since 1982, Packages Limited has a joint venture in Tetra Pak Pakistan Limited with
Tetra Pak International to manufacture paper for liquid food packaging and to sell Tetra

υ Sweets & Confectioneries

In Tetra Pak Pakistan Limited Packages Limited has 45% shares, 6% shares owned by
Syed Baber Ali Shah and 49% shares owned by Tetra Pak International.
Since 1957, Packages has been producing inks for its own consumption. In 1993, the
Company agreed to form a joint venture with equity participation from Coates Lorilleux,
world’s second largest printing ink manufacturer to produce inks for Packages Limited
and the general market. Packages Limited own ink manufacturing facilities now
transferred to the new company, “Coates Lorilleux Pakistan Limited”. In July 1994,
Coates Lorilleux Pakistan limited, in which Packages Limited has 55% ownership,
commenced production and sale of printing inks.
Also in 1993, a joint venture agreement was signed with “Mitsubishi Corporation of
Japan” for the manufacture of polypropylene films at the industrial estate in Hattar,
NWFP. This project, Tri-Pack Films Limited, commenced production in June 1995 with
equity participation by Packages Limited 33%, Mitsubishi Corporation 27%, Altawfeek
Company for investing Funds, Saudi Arabia, 11% and public 29%.
In 1995, an agreement was signed with UHDE of Germany to setup a plant for the
manufacture of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), an environmentally friendly bleaching
chemical, with an annual capacity of 12500 tones, near Lahore, Punjab. This project

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam

Oxypak Limited was a separate company, which was projected to commence production
during 1997-98.
In 1996, a joint venture agreement was signed with Print care (Ceylon) Limited for the
production of flexible packaging in Sri Lanka. This project Packages Limited Lanka
(private) limited commenced production in 1998. Packages Limited owns 62% of this
company.

packaging line by installation of new rotogravure printing machine and the expansion of
the carton line by a new Lemanic rotogravure inline printing and cutting creasing
machine. The machines are in production since December 1999.
The Company is at an advanced stage of implementing SAP, an Enterprise Resource
Planning System, which through a common database allows the Company to be fully
integrated and be live in respect of all its business information. This will enable the
Company to serve its customers better.
The Rubber Division working under the Research Development & Control Department is
also selling its products in the local market as well as selling to the Defense Authorities
apart from providing services to its own departments.
Another important service department of the Packages Limited is its “Power Plant”. In
1967 they set up 6 MW power plants, but to ensure a continuous and dependable supply
of power for its production lines, Packages has also established its own 10 MW power
plant in 1991, the cost of which was 180 million rupees. Packages Limited saves a lot of
money in this regard. For example, if they get power from WAPDA, then WAPDA
charge more than 6 rupees per unit but the expenses of its own production is almost one
rupees per unit.
In the field of consumer products, Packages Limited has shown tremendous potential and
commendable talent. Consumer Product Division provides 12% share of the Packages
total sales. The consumer products of the company are “Rose Petal” Tissues, Tulip
Tissues and Feminex. The production of Rose Petal was the first introduction of tissue

employees’ records from appointments till retirement are kept, like transfer, promotion,
leaves etc. All appointments are made only when there is a new vacancy or need for
replacement. There is an “Appointment Register” in which details like name, father’s
name, and appointment date, address, department etc. are entered. This register also tells
about the appointments made in a year and strength of all the departments.Along with the
Appointment Register, there is another register known as “Strength Register”. It shows
the number of workers employed. All entries regarding the wages, allowances etc. are
kept in it. All new workers are appointed on probation for one year. Three probation
reports are given during this period.

wages and salaries, make work plans for employees and evaluate their performance.
There are two types of employees in the organization:

 Employees who are paid on monthly basis.

 Employees who are paid on hourly basis.

Now in Packages Limited computers make all the records of employees. A card exists, for
noting the time spent on job by workers, which are paid on hourly basis.

The card notes time of starting and finishing by punching machines. These cards are
collected by Production Department, and then they come to Time Office, where they are
kept in record. Then the Time Office calculates the wages of hourly workers. In Packages
there are three shifts:

 First Shift 06.30 a.m. To 03.00 p.m.

PRE-PRESS DEPARTMENT:
Pre-Press is the nerve centre of
Packages Limited. This is where concepts and ideas are developed and woven with
marketing strategies of our customers to attract the end users of the products produced by
our customers.
This department has been revolutionized over the last 15 years and compared to the past
when most of the work was done by hand; we now have graphic designers and computer
artists who make the soft copies of the designs. These halftone images and texts are
simultaneously directed from computers to:
• Image setters;
• Plate making devices (CDI, Digital System for Flexo);
• Digital engraving machines

In the Art and Camera Department, we have state-of-the-art computer systems where
digital files are produced instead of photographic negatives.
For achieving high quality in all of printing methods (Roto, Flexo and Offset), our Pre-
Press Department is equipped with the latest technology in Cylinder, Photo polymer and
Plate making equipment which provide excellent support to various Production
Departments.
Though our Pre-Press Department is equipped with the latest technology, we know that it
is the imaginative mind of the conceiver that makes the real difference. Our Pre-press
staff is qualified from such fine institutions as National College of Arts, Fine Arts
Department of the Punjab University, and Printing & Graphic Art College.

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 43
Packages Pakistan Ltd

To keep their knowledge up to date and keep them abreast with the latest technology, we
enhance their professional expertise by sending them abroad from time to time for
exposure to different printing set-ups and visits to relevant exhibitions.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:
Planning and Production are the
most important departments in Packages Limited. Production department controls all the
operations under the factory. Planning department is responsible to plan and organize the
allocation of jobs to various lines or divisions in a way that their maximum capacity is
utilized and that the delivery is given to the customer by the given date.

Production Manager is the head of Production department and is responsible for the
production function. There is also one Planning Manager, which is under the Production
manager. The Production Manager looks after the production while the Planning Manager
supervises the Planning Section. The heads of the following departments are directly
answerable to Production Manager and they have to present their special problems to him
for advice and help:

 Carton Line

 Corrugated Division.

 Flexible Packaging Division

 Poly & Paper Conversion Department.

 Art Department.

 Camera Department.

 Coating Department.

 Cutting & Creasing Department.

 Lamination Department.

 Folding and Gluing Department.

 Dispatch Department.

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 44
Packages Pakistan Ltd

 Quality Control Department.

 Coates Lorilleux (Ink Factory).

The Production Planning and Control unit is also directly under the Production Manager
and acts as the brain cell for him. Production Department prepares internal planning of the
whole Paper & Board division. It takes into account the total capacity of the machinery,
and the manpower. It also arranges the resources to attain maximum utilization. The other
goal is to reduce the wastage of resources. The Planning Department acts as a coordinator
between the Marketing and Production Departments. This is very important in the sense
that if there is no communication between the Marketing and Production Departments, a
lot of confusion will be created.

Production Procedure:
The sales staff is in direct touch with
the customers. After the business has been finalized, an Internal Sales Order (ISO) is sent
direct to the Production, Planning and Control Department for checking and planning out
the production schedule. The Planning Officer and his staff communicate and correspond
directly with sales staff. Sales staff also deals with Art Department in the initial stages of
the business negotiations. Art Department prepares comprehensive, color schemes and
alternate suggestions for the approval for the customer. The direct link of the Art
Department ceases after the customer has approved the comprehensive. First of all the
sales executive gives the customer design and made job reference to the Planning
Department where Planning Assistant for Art & Camera sends the job to Art Department
for finalizing the ultimate shape of the product’s design. They also prepare mechanical for
the Offset and Flexographic jobs. The job then moves to Camera department, where the
staff prepares the printing negatives followed by Production Department who prepare the
printing plates. The plates will either go to proof press or for mass production to offset
presses. The order received by the customer to Marketing Department may be:

 New job

 Amended old job

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 45
Packages Pakistan Ltd

 Repeating job

In order to develop a new job, to create a new product or to give special suggestions to the
customer, sales staff takes help from Development Manager. Development Manger is in
touch with all the facilities available at the factory and develops the projects until it is fit
for mass production. The new job is first sent to Art and Camera Department for the Art
& design to be printed. In case of repeat order, the Production Department will receive the
ISO with the sample and the job will be sent to the Planning Department. Planning
Department issues a Job Card, as soon as the Job Card is made out, Paper & Board stores
arrange material. The immediate requirement is indicated in the Job Card, which has to be
available in stocks, while the long-range requirements are stocked up. Production
Manager has to foresee the future requirements. In case of new development, special
materials are to be ordered. When substantial orders are expected in a particular line then
raw materials will have to be ordered. For example, if there is trend of packing
polyethylene bags then polyethylene Granules will have to be bought ahead of time. After
Offset Department and Poly & Paper Conversion Department (PC) the job run through
Cutting and Creasing, Folding and Gluing and is sent out through Dispatch Department.
The jobs emanating from Paper Converting & Offset Department go directly to the
Dispatch Department. One important function of the Dispatch Department is to prepare
Dispatch Notes for the goods sent out whether by trucks or by railway.

Sow the Quality

CARTON LINE:
This is the largest printing section of Packages Limited. This
department has the largest share in the total Packages Limited sales, which is about 55%.
There are 12 printing machines in this section, which are used for printing on duplex
board. There are two Varnishing machines and one laminator machine. This printing
facility is available from two to six colors. These machines use oil-based ink. Normally
they print Cigarettes cartons, Biscuits, Shoes boxes, tissue cartons and Tea boxes.

PRINTING MODE:

Ink Plate Blanket

Sheet

Offset printing is the art of printing from a flat surface. In this method, first the Plate
(cylinder) takes ink and coats on the Blanket (cylinder) but the reflection is reverse (off)
on the Blanket. Further sheet (white duplex board) passes in between two cylinders,
Blanket and Impression. Now on the sheet printing is straight (set).

Each Offset machine has different cylinders i.e., six-color machine has six cylinders, and
five-color machine has five cylinders and so on. Each cylinder is used for the printing of a
specific color. The cylinder takes the ink from the ink pan and prints it on the paperboard
running on the other cylinder. The paper goes forward and then another cylinder prints
another color and so on, until the sheet is printed according to the right format. The
Duplex board is used in this form of printing. The weight of board is 240 to 490 grams.

MARKETING DEPARTMENT
We are living in an age of Marketing. It’s a famous adage; “You don't sell what you
make rather you make what you can sell”. Today in any organization, Marketing
Department is of paramount importance. Because it plays a link between the consumer
and the manufacturer. The function of the Marketing Department is to ensure that
consumers receive what they need. If marketing department works effectively and
efficiently, the whole organization is on a smooth run. The Marketing Department plays a
key role in the operations of the organization. The Marketing Department of the Packages
Limited is headed by the Marketing Manager who is responsible for all the marketing
operations in all three offices in Lahore, Karachi & Islamabad. Packages Limited has a
very effective Marketing Department, which is acting a vital role in the working of the
company. This department is responsible for the sale of industrial & consumer products.
Planning Division of the Production Department works closely with the Marketing
Department to ensure the meeting of established targets. Packages Limited has divided
into the four regions i.e. Lahore, Karachi, Multan and Islamabad. Area Marketing
Managers, who are third in the line of authority, direct under the Deputy Marketing
Manager, are the heads of these regions. Marketing Manager also looks after the
Consumer Products Division. Each region is responsible for the sales of its area. A team
assists all Area Marketing Managers, consisting of Regional Sales Managers, Assistant
Sales Manger and Sales executives. There are two Regional Sales Managers under the
Area Marketing Manager. One for industrial sales and one for the consumer products.
Then there are Regional Sales Managers and Sales Executives. The Deputy General
Manager who is also among the Board of Directors of Packages Limited is often
consulted by the Marketing Manager for important managerial decisions concerning

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 72
Packages Pakistan Ltd

Marketing Department. The job of Area Marketing Manager is just like a Supervisor. He
Checks the performance of each officer. He, some times, visits the customers and asks
them whether they are satisfied with the services of the officer concerned. The Regional
Sales Manager acts as a coordinator between the Sales Executives and the Area Manager.
Each Sales Executive is allocated a certain number of customers. The respective
Executive will deal with these customers and solve their problems. In case of some
trouble, the Area Manager does involve and tries to settle things. His advice is especially
taken while developing, launching and pricing of new products or amending the prices of
existing products and so on. There are two divisions of marketing department in Packages
Limited:

 The Industrial Marketing Division

 The Consumer Product Division

The performance of marketing activities of the Company has increased due to this
segmentation of division. Following are the important factors that differ between these
two divisions:

 Distribution channels are different.

 Target market is different.

 They both have their own competitors.

 Marketing policies are different for each division.

1) INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION:


The industrial marketing has emerged to be a strong tool to enhance the sales of those
companies making products that are used in the production of other goods and services.
Industrial Marketing is the need of the manufacturing firms. In this regard the Industrial
Marketing Division of the Packages Limited assumes the key importance. Industrial
Product Division is responsible for the industrial goods. This division is concerned with
the packaging needs of various industries. The industrial products, which it markets, are

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam

numerous. The major products come in the category of packaging products. These
include:

 Products available  Products available


in Offset Printing in Rotogravure
Printing
 Products available
in Flexo graphic  Corrugated
Printing Products

Packages Limited produces good quality packaging material.


Packages Limited has 25% market share in packaging
industry; as a result they are the single largest packaging unit
of Pakistan. There are lots of small manufacturers, which are
much cheaper, but their quality is not of that par but due to
low prices they are there. Major competitors are:

 Almas (Pvt.)  National Packages


Limited Karachi Karachi

 Pak Paper Products  Friends Packages

Prospecting for New customer:


According to my discussion with the Senior Sales Manager,
Ms. Humaira Shazia, that how they do prospecting for new
customers. She told that first we see our production lines i.e.

 Carton Line

 Flexible Line

 Corrugated division

In which division or line we need new customers and the


existing customers are not fulfilling our requirements of that
particular line. Then we select our target market. The
selection of target market may be through market surveys.
From that target market we select the potential customers,
means the customers with which we can do business. Then
these prospected customers are sent free counter samples. The
customers use these samples and if the samples are matched
with their standards. They contact with the Industrial
Marketing Department for further negotiations. For their
standards and satisfaction, the strength in quality, services and
trustworthy are the base.

Functions of Sales Executive:

Top Three Customers of Industrial


Marketing Division:
1. Pakistan Tobacco company PTC

2. Lever Brothers (Pvt) Limited

3. Nestle Milkpak Limited

Type of Orders:
Packages Limited receives two types of orders from the
customer:

 New Orders

 Repeated Order

For new orders, Sales Executive will go to the new client and
will try to sell their products to him. The Packages Limited
has a limitation, that it can not take small orders from
customers because the factory over head costs are too much
which can not be justified in small orders of less monetary
value. If the customer agrees to buy from Packages Limited,
then it is the job of the Sales Executive to coordinate with the
customer. First priority is to listen to the ideas of new
customer and if they are feasible then, work is started. If the
Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam
University, Islamabad 78
Packages Pakistan Ltd

customer's ideas are not worth of use, then the Sales


Executives use their own expertise and design a suitable
package for the customer with the help of Art Department. If
the customers are satisfied with the quality, delivery and price
of the packaging material provided by Packages, then they
will make repeat purchases. Normally companies consult
themselves with Sales Executives by making a Phone call or
by sending a fax. When Sales Executive will get order again
from his client he will again repeat process of issuance of
ISO.

WORKING OF THE INDUSTRIAL


MARKETING DEPARTMENT:
The basic job of Marketing Department is to make sales and
to satisfy the customer's needs.

Allocation Of Customers:
At Packages Limited every sales Executive and Sales
Managers are allocated customers and they are held
responsible for dealing with them. Every Sales Executive has
a complete record of his customers and pays regular visits
thus remaining in regular contact with them. On average a
Sales Executive has to deal with more than 10 customers.

Daily Meeting:
In the Marketing Department, a meeting of all the Sales
Managers and Executives is held every morning. The Area
Marketing Manager heads this meeting. Each Sales Officer
explains the current situation of his customers and the
development in the new prospects, if any. The Sales Officers
also inform the Area Marketing Manager about what they did
the previous day. They are then guided as to what should do,
and are assigned certain duties regarding the mode of action
Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam
University, Islamabad 79
Packages Pakistan Ltd

they are to adopt. Sales people also provide current


information about market. The sales people are also
responsible for getting the payment from the customers. In the
daily morning meeting, they have to show that how much
payment they have got from their customers and how much
amount is still outstanding with their customers. The Area
Marketing Manager sees that which sales person is lagging
behind in receiving the payments and then guides him to
speed up his efforts for getting the payments from the
customers.

In this morning meeting, the daily dispatch report is also


discussed. The Area Marketing Manager discusses with each
Sales person, the status of the order delivery of his customers.
If the orders are not executing according to the schedule given
by the planning department, then the Area Marketing
Manager, himself contacts with the planning department and
asks them to speed up the delivery process of the late orders.

Developing New Customers:


Every organization aims to satisfy its present customer and at
the same time tries to increase the number of its current
customers. But with Packages Limited the task is slightly
easier, since it is the largest packaging concern in Pakistan
and off course the most reputed one. In order to find out the
potential customers, it is the duty of every Sales person to
remain well informed about the market and grab every
opportunity as and when it arises if it seems profitable.
Hence, the sales persons are required to carry out an active
search for potential customers and have to make sure that they
miss no opportunity to strike a deal that can be profitable to
the organization. As a matter of fact, it is the job of sales force
Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam
University, Islamabad 80
Packages Pakistan Ltd

to track new opportunities for the organization. Although it is


not an easy task, but the good repute of Packages Limited
about its quality oriented production serves as a promotional
tool and helps the Sales staff. Sometimes, some prospective
customers directly contact the organization. The reason is the
highly strong market position of Packages Limited.

Procedure for getting a new order from the


customer:
Like any marketing department, the marketing people here
too are supposed to attract the new customers and get the
business from them. Fortunately, the Packages Limited has
very loyal customers, who have been purchasing from them
for a long time. So we can say that, more or less, the Packages
Limited has fixed number of customers. That’s why, except
Area Marketing Manager, every sales person has assigned
certain number of customers. The sales Executive has to make
all the dealings with his allotted customers. But this does not
mean that in Packages Limited, attention is not given to the
new customers. The point is that the old and loyal customers
have become the permanent customers of the company. The
other thing is that the company is operating at full capacity in
case of carton and corrugated divisions. Only in flexible line
they are below their capacity. So, mostly, they focus their
attention to attract the customers in the flexible line. If a new
customer comes, then he may be assigned to any sales
Executive.

Now there is a certain procedure through which the new order


from either a new customer or the old customer is executed
and final product is dispatched to the customer. The flow
chart of this process is given on the next page.

DESCRIPTION:
Process flow in Industrial Marketing Department is as
follows:
♦ First of all there is contact between the customer and
the sales department. The contact may be in two ways:

 Customer contacts the marketing department

 Sales executive contacts the customer.

♦ Now if the customer has any idea, he gives


“specification” about the required product i.e. size,
material, design etc. and also tells about the
approximate order.

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 83
Packages Pakistan Ltd

♦ The marketing department sends the specification to


the Art Department to convert the idea into a shape. If
the customer has no idea then it is the work of Art
Department to make a design.

♦ The Art Department makes blank sample to the


concerned sales executive. The sales executive also
gets pre-costing report and then sends the blank
sample along with quotation to the customer. The
blank sample is sent to the customer to get approval of

contact with the Industrial Marketing Department.
 The sales manager/executive gets information from
the customer and decides whether the order can be
done or not.
 If it can be done, then the pre-costing department
prepares the pre-costing report and sends to executive.
 From this pre-costing report the sales executive fills a
quotation form and sends to the customers.
 From this quotation, the customer gives, the purchase
order, if he is agreed with the quotation.
 Now if the purchase order is according to the
standards and requirements of Packages, the sales
executive sends the order confirmation to the
customer.
 Now the sales/industrial marketing department issues
an Internal Sale Order (ISO). One copy is sent to the
planning department.
 The planning department issues the ISO confirmation
slip to the Industrial Marketing Department.

job.
 The Account Department issues invoices, means debit
and credit notes to the customer.
 The receipt of payments from the customer is the duty
of marketing department.
By this process the documentation flow of Industrial
Marketing Department has completed.

Repeat Orders:
Packages Limited, as a policy matter always prefers repeat
sales. It does not look forward very eagerly to one time order.
Most of the business is of repeated nature. Thus getting repeat
orders is also one of the important jobs of a Sales Officer. A
repeat order can be taken through a telephone call a written
letter or a visit. In repeat orders, it is not necessary that the
whole process discussed above be repeated in the same
sequence. As in repeat orders, the customer’s requirements
are already with the company, so customer only places his
order and give the order confirmation, and the marketing
department will issue the ISO and the remaining process will
be same as discussed earlier. The steps before ISO issuance
are skipped in this case. But if the customer wants some
changes in the previous order, then the whole process will
have to be repeated.

Pricing Policy for Industrial Products:


Since Packages Limited industrial products vary in nature to a
great extent, so there is no fixed price for any product. In
Packages, prices charged are quite high due to their good
quality and standard. The Marketing Department determines
prices for each of the products separately. There are some
standards regarding prices of different packaging designs, but
they vary according to the factors listed below:

 Material used for  Prospects of repeat


the package sales

 Printing on the  Art work charges


package
 Terms of
 Size of the package agreement

 Quantity ordered  Number of color to


be used in printing

 Time of completion

Price Determination:
The prices are usually negotiated between the buyer and the
sales personnel. The Sales Executives get the estimates of the
costs to be incurred on the customer’s order, from the Costing
Section, a part of the Marketing department. The business
with the customer is also kept in mind, i.e. whether he is a
new customer or the permanent one of the company. The
prices for the industrial products are determined on the "Cost
Plus PROFIT" basis, i.e.

Cost + Profit = Price

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 90
Packages Pakistan Ltd

In order to determine the price to be charged for an order the


company simply adds desired profit to its estimated cost of
production. In price determination the first aim is to

cover the cost. After this a reasonable amount is charged in


the term of profit. There are certain factors, which affect this
profit margin.

Distribution Policy for Products:


Packages Limited, being basically industrial products
manufacturing concern, its distribution system consists of
direct selling from producer (manufacturer) to the consumer
(the company ordering for the packaging material). No
middleman is involved. Company's sales force either directly
goes to the final customer or gets order from them or the
customer himself contacts with the company. The company
believes that direct marketing is quite cheap for industrial
goods. The reason, which they quote, is that we have enough
sales force all over the country and which can cover the
industry more economically. Normally new orders are
obtained by the Sales Executives. Packages Limited does not
have any distribution or whole sellers in its distribution
network. The company advises its customers to take their
packaging material from the Factory Premises. Either the
buyer's transport comes to the premises or the company
arranges to send the products to the customer. In any case no
freight charges are borne by the Packages Limited.

CONSUMER PRODUCT DIVISION


(CPD)

Since the inception of Packages Limited, it dealt only with


industrial goods. In 1981, company entered into new era and
starting dealing in consumer goods as well. Initially, it was
decided that the industrial sales division would also look after
the affairs of consumer products. In 1985, the distribution
function of the consumer products was handed over to
TETRA PAK. But in1986, Packages limited got back the
distribution facility from TETRA PAK and established a new
division with the name of consumer product division
(commonly known as CPD). Since then CPD is responsible

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 92
Packages Pakistan Ltd

for the consumer products. This Division is totally separated


from Industrial Products Division and follows its own
policies. It makes its sales plan freely. Over all, CPD manages
43 different tissue paper products, which include tissue paper
rolls, facial tissues, wet tissues, tissues for particular
organization.

This department has one CPD manager, 160 workers and 10


supervisors. Tissue Paper at Packages Limited is
manufactured at Paper & Board Mill in reel form. In the
production hall, the tissue reels are cut into individual tissues
and then packed. The "ROSE PETAL" line of products
includes facial tissues, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, paper
napkins, paper cups & plates. Apart from ROSE PETAL,
Packages Limited is producing tissues for various companies
like UTILITIES STORES etc. The other brand in tissues is
“TULIP TISSUES”, and afterward in 2001 they introduce
the FEMINEX. The raw material that is tissue paper is
imported from Scotland. What they do is cutting, packing &
selling. This division performs the activity of selling products
to the ultimate consumer. The Marketing Manager supervises
this Consumer Product Division.

Packages limited started producing consumer products with


the introduction of Rose Petal (Facial Tissues) in April 1981,
formally rose petal started production in 1986. With the
passage of time consumer products family increased. A brief
history of all the consumer products is given on next page,

1. Luxury pack of Rose Petal (Facial Tissues)


in 1981.
2. Tissues of pink color were introduced in
1982.
Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam

tissues) was introduced in 1984.
5. Multicolor tissues were also introduced in
1984.
6. Production of table napkins started in 1985.
7. In the end if 1985, the distribution is
handed over to Tetra Pak.
8. In February 1986, Packages Limited took
the distribution back.

offered in pocket pack.

15. In 1992, they manufactured a special kind
of wet tissue, which is used to clean the glasses of
spectacle.
16. In 2001, CPD introduced Feminex
CPD is responsible from production to the distribution of all
these products. Each sales officer is a product or brand
manager and deals with the particular product assigned to
him. Before the establishment of CPD, product used to take
12-15 days before reaching to the customer who had placed
the order. After its establishment this problem was removed
and CPD people were able to establish a distribution system,

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 94
Packages Pakistan Ltd

which covers the whole country. Before the introduction of


flying tissues, Packages Limited has the sole monopoly over
the tissue market in the country. But right after its
introduction, it gave a tough time to the Rose Petal family.
Although CPD people do not accept that Flying is giving
them a tough time. But after its introduction they improved
their quality by making tissues on a new machine, which is
far better than a previous one.

PHILOSOPHY:
There was no local production of tissues to meet the
population requirements and at that time the tissues were
imported from abroad to fulfill the demand. Tissues were
imported only through the personal baggage and they were
only target the elite class. So the packages ltd has decided to
start the production of tissues to meet the requirement of
population and at low price to target the whole market that it
can be in the reach of medium and low-income classes.

Rose Petal is going on the road of progress very successfully
and according to the marketing department of the company,
they want to get “maximum share by maximum sales”. They
are trying to cover every noted inefficiencies in the main
departments of its. Along with they are also very conscious
about the quality, and are doing very hard job to give best
quality. Sales people are working on classic marketing idea
“find as gap and fill it”.

GOALS:
Goals of rose petal are to expand and increase the consumer
demand of tissues and to break the cultural barriers like
replace towels and handkerchief with tissues. It was thought
earlier that the tissues are for upper class but they target the
whole market including the all-social classes. In the presence
of imported and local tissues they have to create the demand

and good quality.

TYPE OF BUSINESS:

MARKET SHARE OF PACKAGES


LIMITED IN TISSUE MARKET:

Consumer Products Division is responsible from the


production to the distribution of all these products. After its
establishment CPD established a distribution system, which
covers the whole country. Now Consumer Products Division
has around 211 distributors, which covers the whole country.
There is some major competitor of the company in tissue
sector. Though flying tissue has been there in the market for
the last 7-8 years, but still the Packages Limited is the market
leader and has (75 to 80)% market share. Their distribution
covers the entire country while Flying is only limited to big
cities. Packages Limited has the monopoly in case of paper
cups and plates and enjoys more than 80% of market share.

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 105
Packages Pakistan Ltd

SALES STRATEGIES:
In Packages Limited the
sales force is stricted to spend almost 80% of their time in
market. And 20% of their time in the offices. Their
distribution network is very strong, first of all I like to discuss
about the distributors. There are 211 distributors In all over
Pakistan, and only in Lahore they have 5 distributor and
whole 211 distributors are didvded among 5 zones and these
five zones are

After these 5 distributors Packages limited has 7 sales


supervisior to check upon thir performance they have meeting
of supervisior in department on every Friday where they
discuss about the ongoing problems and about complaints

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 106
Packages Pakistan Ltd

from market and customers and about distributor’s


performance.

A sample report for the market evaluation and is presented in


annuxre 1 and through this report various assessments are
made that where brand is going on. What to do now with the
brand.

During the very first week I was assigned the project about
the tissue paper. This project was on consumer behavior and
attitude of tissue paper, this project is attached in the end of
the report. Beside this I was assigned to have atleast 3 market
visits and about to fill the above evaluation form and to know
about the sales of particular area.

I visited the areas like SADAR, ARAY BAZAR GULBURG,


LIBERTY, IQBAL TOWN AND AWAN TOWN. Case
summary is given in the annuxre 2 and in the project.

No doubt it was a great exposure for me to have market visit


in a very practical sense.

Sales teem is assigned targets and they have to meet these


targets and one of the important thing is that for institutional
sales they have a separate distributor and in this institutional
sales they have orders from PIZZA HUT, KFC,

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam

MCDONALDS, PIA, PRIME MINISTER HOUSE,


OTHER DIFFERENT COMPANIES LIKE PARCO,
PEARL CONTINENTAL etc.

MARKETING STRATEGY
Goals indicate what a business unit wants to achieve, strategy
answers how to get these goals. Every business has a strategy
for achieving its goals.

The marketing strategy can be presented in a list form as


follow,

• Target market • Advertising

• Positioning • Sales promotion

• Product line • Research &


development
• Price
• Marketing
• Service
research

MARKETING BUDGET:
Marketing budget is allocated to each brand individually and
almost each brand gets Rs. 2.0 million each year.

MARKET SEGMENTATION:
Packages Ltd has defined and identified its target market for
its consumer products. Target market for facial tissues include
all the geographical areas, all the psychographics,
Demographics because Rose Petal is trying to target each and
every person in the society. They have such a wide product

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 108
Packages Pakistan Ltd

line, which satisfy the needs and wants of each and every
individual. Price ranges from Rs. 5/- to Rs. 60/-. They have
the packs of different sizes in different quantities and for
different purposes. So, they always try to target each and
every individual and that means they are using the
aggregation segmentation strategy.

MARKETING RESEARCH:
A.C. Neilson Aftab Associates does marketing research for
Rose Petal. Apart from research they send their employees on
recreational tours that they can bring new ideas from abroad.

ANALYSIS:
(PAST, CURRENT AND FUTURE
POSITION)
The growth rate is 10-12% per annum, they have this
estimated target for future market share. While in past and in
present they have the same percentages.

MARKET POSITIONING STRATEGY:


In terms of price and competitors:
It is cheaper than imported tissues but expensive than local
brands. So, they position their brand at higher price than their
local competitors and cheaper than imported competitors.

They are making Rose Petal and Tulip Tissues where rose
petal is sold at higher prices for higher income level
consumers and tulip is sold at lower prices to cater the
demand of lower income level consumers and in this way
they increase the market share and the number of consumers.

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 109
Packages Pakistan Ltd

BRANDING STRATEGY
BRANDING:
Every company tries to establish its brand in order to maintain
a brand loyalty. A good brand name is the goodwill of the
company. Again, the selection of the brand name is the
responsibility of the marketing people. Packages Limited has
the policy of separate family names for each of its product
line. For example, in case of facial tissues, the family brand
name is Rose Petal, Tulip etc. in the promotional campaign;
the brand name is used, which in fact covers the whole
family. The brand name of Rose Petal is used in advertising
campaign while it has many sub brands like perfumed, plane,
multicolor etc. Rose Petal brands are very succeeded in the
market has a good image. This is brand image, which helps
the company to achieve its objectives and Rose Petal is doing
the something and achieving their desired objectives.
Packages Limited itself also helps Rose Petal to create a
quality image in the mindset of their customers and make it
symbol of quality in the market.

SPECIAL ORDERS:
It has already discuss that Rose Petal also get some type of
special orders of tissues from the market and fulfill the needs
of these special order customers by providing them desired
features. These special customers are like the big
organizations like PIA, PC hotel, PIZZA HUT,
MACDONALD’S, KFC and pharmaceutical companies etc.
these customers demand different type of modifications in
packaging, style, colors like Sometimes quality and also
certain other features of the different product of tissues. As
some pharmaceutical companies demand wet tissues with

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 110
Packages Pakistan Ltd

certain special colognes. Some organizations demand to print


of their logo on the tissue paper, packaging like PIZZA HUT
or KFC etc. some organizations wanted to print their own
design on the packaging material as PIA placed special orders
of luxury size tissues with packaging of PIA colors green and
white although trademark and logo of Rose Petal is also
placed on the packaging. Special orders are provided in bulk
not small in numbers. They have certain limitations in which
they produce. Special orders are placed only for big
organizations or certain events. Special orders are almost the
5 to 10% of their total production and they have no problem
to manage these. Marketing people also provide their services
to different big organizations in respect of packaging and
order size and certain other facilities. If the customer wants to
make some alterations in the approved design, then he has to
pay for all those expenses, which the company has made on
the previously approved samples.

PACKAGING STRATEGY:
Packaging is an essential part of any product and particularly
for consumer products. Fortunately, Packages Limited has a
separate packaging department, which is responsible for
developing package for new products or to modify the
existing package. The marketing people spell out the guiding
principles and then the Packaging department design and
prepare the package in the light of these guidelines.
Sometimes, the packaging for special orders is done
according to the requirements of the customer or client and
certain modifications are made in design or styles etc. for
example, PIA wants print of his logo on the packaging box.
Pearl continental hotel wants to print of PC on the tissues,

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam


University, Islamabad 111
Packages Pakistan Ltd

which are using by their customers. These are the some


examples of special orders satisfied by the CPD. they made
economical and adequate packaging of tissues for the
convenience of all type of consumers.

LABELING:
They use brand label strategy as they use brand name
ROSE PETAL only, on package but they mention the
quantity of tissues in a package like 150 * 2 ply tissues
etc

PRICING STRATEGY:
The basic formulae for price determination of Rose Petal
products are:

COST + PROFIT = PRICE

The first aim is to cover the cost. After this a reasonable


amount is charged in the name of profit. There are certain
factors, which affect this profit margin, which might be
internal as well external. These are:

Administrative Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam

a) Quantity of the g) Economy.
order. h) Organizational
b) Type of material. interests.

d) Time of strategy.

e) Future prospects. purchasing power

f) Nature of the l) Competitors’

demand.

1. Packages Limited selects the medium price-


high quality pricing strategy as Packages
never compromises on quality of the products.

Packages adopts the “Maximum Sales Growth” pricing


objective.

1. Mark-up pricing

Packages adopts “mark-up pricing” method. Sometimes


Packages sells its products below cost also. For example they
sell wet tissue below cost to create its market, because
majority of people is not familiar and accustomed to use the
wet tissues, which has limited demand in the market. The
management of Consumer Product Division (CPD) also
makes their price decisions on the basis of the competitors on
going rate prices. So, they have to take keen interest on the
pricing policies of the competitors. Although quality play a
leading role in their products, but prices have also its
importance in the development of the product image in the
market.

PRICING POLICIES:
The company has the policy to charge ex-factory prices. They
are not concerned with the freight charges. All such costs are
borne by the buyer.
The basic objective behind the price determination of
consumer products is to maximize the market share. The
company actually wants a higher turnover. The marketing
people set prices by considering the following factors.

COST OF PRODUCTION:
Every organization strives to sell its goods on Maximum
profit. But the first objective is that to cover the cost of
production, or to sell at the break even. And profit margin
is set in order to maximize the market share.

CONSUMER PURCHASING FACTOR:


This is also very significant while determining the final
price. Marketing manager has to pay full attention
on the purchasing power of the target customers. Again
the objective or the philosophy behind the whole pricing
concept is to maximize the market share.

PRICING POLICIES OF THE


COMPETITORS
The prices charged by the competitor also play very
important particular in case of consumer products. Since
price is the basic factor. Marketing department always
keep an eye to track any movement by the competitors. If
the company starts charged higher price as compared with
the competitors, then definitely it is going to loose its
market share. Which is the major objective of the
company.

GOVERNMENT TAXES:
Another factor, which affects the pricing policy, is the
taxes imposed by the Government. Rose Petal has the
policy to increase as with the increase in the taxes.

AREA PRICING:
Rose Petal has the policy to charge a homogeneous
price for all of its consumer’s products through out
the country. In this regard, enough margins are kept
to cover the freight, and other district taxes

ROFIT/UNIT:
They are earning normal profit/unit @ 10-15%.

PROMOTION/ADVERTISING
STRATEGY:
Promotion is the last and very important component of
company’s marketing mix program, because other
components of marketing mix program of the company like
product and price are performed mainly within the
organization. It is the promotion, part of the company’s

PROMOTIONAL POLICIES:
It is the job of marketing department to promote the business
of the organization. In consumer product division, marketing
people have different promotion plans for each product.
Without promotion, no consumer product can be successful.
Promotional activities are an integral for marketing consumer
products:

1. Increase the sales.

2. Outplace the competitor.

3. Increase the market share.

4. Higher turnover.

5. Informing the consumers.


6. Guiding of goodwill.

PROMOTIONAL BUDGET:
The management fixes the promotional budget. The basis
premise is that whether the organization can afford the budget
or not. A part from this fact, there are a lot of other factors,
which the marketing people have to consider. These are:

 Cost of media.

 The number of products already in the


market.

 The number of new products the company


is going to launch.

ALLOCATION OF THE
PROMOTIONAL BUDGET:
One of the hardest marketing decisions facing a company is
how much to spend on promotion. Rose Petal division
develops the promotional budget by defining specific
objectives and estimating the costs of performing these tasks.

There are number of tools that are used to promote a business.


These include:

1. Advertising.

2. Sales promotion.
ADVERTISING:
Packages Limited arranges advertisement on different
electronic media. Advertising accounts for about 80% of the
total promotional budget. In-fact, advertising is the most
popular and effective media to persuade the customers.

Share Of Different Media for Advertisement by


CPD
Television, VCR 65%
Newspapers 20%
Pop Media 10%
Public Relation 1%
Others 4%

There are many forms of advertising contribute uniquely to


the overall promotional mix. Advertising can reach masses of
geographically dispersed buyers at a low cost per exposure. It
enables the seller to repeat a message many times, and it lets
the buyer receive and compare the messages of various
competitors.

This is because of the fact that all the products are of the
convenience type and hence, require frequent advertisement.
Consumer product division of the packages Limited normally
follows the “PULL STRATEGY”.

The advertising campaign of the Rose Petal, Tulip, Feminex


division includes the following:

a. Broad cast media.

b. Print Media.

c. Pop Media.

d. Out Door Media.


Explanations of these advertising campaigns is given as
below:

BROAD CAST MEDIA:


The largest share of the broadcast media is allocated to this
media because it is the most interesting media with far
reaching affects. Although, it is the most expensive media,
but the nature of the products requires its use. It includes:

 Television

 FM Radio.

 VCR.

Consumer product division extensively uses FM Radio and


Television while VCR is not used very much. Normally the
ad of the facial tissues of Rose Petal consists of 15 seconds
that is run both on television and the FM Radio. The
advertising budget for Television and the FM Radio is about
65% of the total budget.

When there is need to advertise on the T.V and on some other


cable networks then the request is sent to concerned agency,
in reply the marketing department receives the estimates from
that agency, this estimate includes the available slots and the
frequency for the brand in between different programmes and
its cost. After reviewing and approval from the concerned
person (B.M) they issue the release orders and send it to the
agency and then their agency is responsible to run it on the
T.V and other cable networks.

The form of estimates and release order is given in the


annexure3 and annexure 4.

PRINT MEDIA:
Print media is also an important part of the promotional
technique. It includes:

• Newspapers.

• Magazines.

• Direct mail etc.

Consumer product division normally uses newspapers and the


magazines for the advertisement of the Rose Petal products
and all of these print media used about 20% of the total
budget.

POP MEDIA:
Pop media includes posters, stickers, and other point of
purchase material. It takes about 105 of the total budget.

OUTDOOR MEDIA:
Marketing people normally don’t prefer its use because they
think that this is not very effective. It has a nominal share in
the budget. It includes billboards, roadside signs etc.

ADVERTISING AGENCY:
Packages Limited is doing intensive advertising for Rose
Petal products. For this they are engaged with the well-known
advertising agency LAWE& RAUF AND second one is
PRETIGE.They changed advertising agencies according to
their requirements and demands. If agency is not fulfilling
their requirements then they switched to another agency.
From their CPD sales they spend almost 10 % on the
advertising. For the compensation of advertising agency they
give them a fixed fee.

2- SALES PROMOTION:
Its share in promotional budget is about 10%. It includes:

 Sampling.

 Gifts Schemes.

 Cent of scheme.

 Gifts

Sales promotion is defined as short-term incentives to


encourage purchase or sale of Rose Petal products. In Rose
Petal Consumer promotion in sales promotion is designed to
stimulate consumer purchasing, including gifts, price off, and
similr in the other two barnds like Tulip and Feminex. Trade
promotion in sale promotion is design to gain reseller support
and to improve reseller selling efforts, including discounts,
allowances, free goods, cooperative advertising, push money
and trade shows.Sales force promotion in sales promotion is
designed to motivate the sales force and make sales force
selling efforts more effective, including bonuses, contests,
gifts and sales rallies.

COMPETITIVE STRATEGY:
Their competition strategies are based on the competitor’s
strategy (flying tissues). They do not follow the price war
competitive strategy. They follow the standard of product and
quality in competition.

PERSONAL SELLING:
They don’t do personal selling. But they have spot selling

FUTURE FORECAST OF MARKET:


Future forecast according to the management of the Consumer
Product Division is 10-12% per annum.
QUALITY CONCEPT IN MARKETING:
Quality is one of the marketer’s major positioning tools. Rose
Petal is the ISO 9001 certified and has the standard of their
products in the tissue market. They also follow up the rules of
total quality management to provide the best quality product
to its end users. They follow different quality improvement
program to increase their profitability as well the image in the
market. First priority of the CPD is to improve the different
features and characteristics of the core product. Rose Petal is
satisfying most of its customers by providing the quality
product. Quality in the Rose Petal means the softness,
strength ness and absorbs ness of the tissue. In case of special
orders a margin of 10% of variation is considered as normal
variation and the customer has to accept the order as such. In
Rose Petal, marketing people also deliver the marketing
quality as well as production quality to their customers, which
is key to success in the market.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS:
• People are more familiar with Packages than its
competitors only due to the reason that they are
pioneer in the packaging industry.

• Specialized management personnel and highly


motivated staff.
• Leader in paper technology in Pakistan.

• Large R &D budget, almost 34 % of the investment is


made in this section.

• Effective distribution management with proper check


and balance through proper distribution networks and
its division of areas.

• Major market share in tissue paper in which rose petal


covers almost 75 % of tissue paper industry.

• Manufactures own tissue papers, its competitors use


imported one.

• A long listed product line and length as compared to


the competitors i.e rose petal has 7 varients only in
facial tissues.

• Monopoly in wet tissue.

WEAKNESSES:
• Sell their products on cash basis.

• High grammage tissue, not much softer.

• Analysis of sales on primary sales report not on


secondary.

• Highly paid sales staff, sometimes reluctant to attend


small shops.

• High prices as compared with competitors.

• Mostly, the orders are not completed on time, due to


the communication gap between the marketing people
and the production people.
• When the sales executives go out on customer’s visits,
there is no one in the department, who in his absence,
may deal with his allotted customers.

• The promotion process is very slow in the company.

• Particularly consumers are not satisfy with their price


of RUMMAL (Rose petal)

THREATS:

(EXTERNAL ANALYSIS)
Opportunities

Asia, Packages Limited has great opportunity in the
export market in the Middle East and other third world
countries.

• As yet, there is no rival company within the country at


the level of Packages Limited, the market share and
capacity of production can be enhanced.

• Quality awareness & consciousness among the


customers are increasing.
Threats
• Advertise taxation policies of government are causing
reduction in profitability.

• The use of offset packaging is decreasing day by day,


due to greater use of Polyethylene and disposable
packaging.

CONCLUSION

pioneer packaging units in
Pakistan.

in paper technology and
management.
• It is leader in pulp & paper and
packaging industry in Pakistan.
• It pays a huge amount annually
in the form of taxes to the

RECOMMENDATIONS

During internship in Packages Limited, I conclude that it is an


excellent organization. Both the packaging and consumer
products are the market leaders. Apart from its excellent
operations, it does not tend to be stationary at one point.
Although it is quite difficult to suggest some thing to such an
established organization yet in the following lines, I make a
humble effort to give some recommendations to this well
performing organization.

• The most important issue is the high prices of the


products of Packages Limited; due to this it loses a
number of customers. So the management of Packages
must take some measures to cope with this problem so
as to attract new customers.

• The Paper & Board Industry is presenting many new


opportunities in the future, in domestic and foreign
markets. There is a need to exploit these opportunities
before the competitors use them up. The production
capacity of this industry should increase.

• They should realize its constant market share, which is


not exceeding from 25-30%, in the packaging
division. So measures should be taken in order to
expand the target market and increase market share.

• The Industrial Marketing Department should tap the


pharmaceutical sector, because there are many more
potential customers for Packages Limited in the
above-mentioned sector.

• They can enhance the image of their company by


entering into the field of public relations. If they let
the public know their plans and operations, say, in
electronic media, it is hopeful that the people will
consider the organization with a sense of still greater
esteem and this can add to the growth of their
consumer products.
• In Packages Limited, some departments are
decentralized but still there is a need of more
decentralization in some departments.

• Although the management has given many attractive


incentives to its employees, but there is a need of
workers' colony in Packages Limited.

• The Packages Limited follows an unsound advertising


strategy. The advertising budget should be increased,
and it would be better if an advertising department is
opened, instead of paying big amounts to the
advertising agency.

• Consumer Product Department is producing


disposable cups and plates, but they are not promoting
these products. They should educate consumers about
these products with an effective promotional program.

• As the training procedures are also very important to


have qualified people on their jobs, special emphasis
should be laid on to the management development
part of the training programs.

• Packages Limited does not offer the credit base sales


which effect the sales and as well as losing the more
other opportunities.
