Shree Shyam Packaging

Located along the Kishanpura Baddi-Nalagarh Road, specifically in the Gurumajra district of Solan, Shree Shyam Packaging is where we make all sorts of boxes. Being on this road means there are always trucks passing by, which is good for us. The building is a big open space where we store stacks of cardboard and the machines for cutting and gluing. It’s a loud place when the machines are running, so we usually have to shout to be heard. We started this because there are so many factories around here that need ways to ship their goods. We aren't some high-tech corporation. Making sure the boxes are strong enough to hold whatever goes inside them is the main thing. Sometimes we have a lot of scrap cardboard lying around, and we have to spend the whole Saturday just tidying up. It’s a family-run kind of place. My son helps with the accounts and I look after the production. We don't have a lot of rules, as long as the work gets done and the quality is okay. If a customer needs a specific size, we try to figure out how to make it for them without charging too much. That is just how we do things here. We are just local people trying to provide a useful service for all the industries situated on this long road. It keeps us busy most days.
