HOMEFOIL introduces grease proof paper at AAHAR 2026

Up to 168 hours of oil resistance, setting a new benchmark in grease proof paper for retail and HoReCa

HOMEFOIL, the premium consumer brand of LSKB Aluminium Foils, has announced its strategic expansion into the paper-based packaging segment with the launch of its grease proof paper. Unveiled at AAHAR 2026, the move marks HOMEFOIL’s category diversification beyond its established aluminium foil portfolio.

The newly launched greaseproof paper offers oil resistance of up to 168 hours, significantly higher than conventional uncoated paper formats that typically withstand grease for only five to six hours. Designed to minimise oil seepage and staining, the paper helps maintain cleaner food handling and better presentation across both household and commercial kitchens.

Made using food-contact safe materials with FDA-compliant additives, the biodegradable and non-toxic paper aligns with HOMEFOIL’s focus on delivering safe, hygienic, and reliable packaging solutions for modern food service and retail needs.

Kunal Bajaj, Director, Jupiter Group, added, “Food service operators today are managing higher volumes, faster turnaround times and stricter hygiene requirements. Packaging materials that perform consistently under these conditions are becoming critical. The rapid growth of quick service restaurants (QSRs), cloud kitchens, and the evolving food delivery and takeaway ecosystem has played a key role in driving demand for foil and allied packaging solutions in the Indian market.”

Lakshay Singhal, Director, LSKB Aluminium Foils, said, “Our premium Golden Foil range has emerged as one of the most trusted and widely used products in our portfolio. As consumer expectations around hygiene, food safety and convenience continue to evolve, we see a clear opportunity to bring better quality solutions into the food packaging category. Our entry into grease proof paper is part of this journey — expanding our offerings while maintaining the same focus on reliability and performance. We believe initiatives like these will also contribute to the broader growth and quality standards of India’s food packaging ecosystem.”

The commercial rollout of HOMEFOIL Grease Proof Paper will commence in March 2026, with distribution across retail and institutional channels. The launch will be supported by the company’s extensive distribution network of over 150 distributors and more than 25,000 channel partners across India, enabling wide market access from the outset.
