If you've been following the custom packaging space in India, you may have caught our appearance on Shark Tank India Season 5 in February 2026. It was a moment that captured everything ezpac stands for — the belief that small businesses deserve great packaging without being forced into massive minimum order quantities.
Here's the full story. What we pitched, what happened in the Tank, and where ezpac is headed next.
The Problem We Went In To Solve
Every small business owner in India knows this pain. You want custom branded packaging for your product — boxes, pouches, bags with your logo on them. You approach a vendor. And the first thing they say is: "Minimum 500 pieces."
For a home baker selling 30 boxes a month, 500 is not a minimum — it's a mountain. For a startup testing a new product, 500 pieces is a warehouse full of unsold inventory if the product doesn't work. For a small brand trying to look premium, a plain brown box means losing the sale before the customer even opens it.
This is the problem ezpac was built to solve. And this is exactly what we walked into the Tank to talk about.
What ezpac Actually Does
ezpac.in is a self-service custom packaging platform built specifically for small and medium businesses. Here is what makes it different from every traditional packaging vendor in India:
• Minimum order quantity of just 10 units — not 500, not 200. Ten.
• A 3D design studio on the website — you design your own packaging without needing to hire a graphic designer or wait for email approvals
• Custom sizing — not just standard sizes. You enter your exact dimensions and the platform calculates price instantly
• Doorstep delivery across India — no factory visits, no middlemen
• Instant pricing — see your cost before you order, no quote requests, no waiting
Since launching in August 2023, we have served thousands of small businesses across India — home bakers, food brands, cosmetic startups, gifting businesses, D2C brands, and more. Our revenue grew 1,267% year over year, which is what gave us the conviction to walk into Shark Tank.
The Shark Tank India Season 5 Pitch
Walking into the Tank is something no founder forgets. You have practised your numbers a hundred times. You know your unit economics. You know your market — 63 million MSMEs in India, most of them still using plain packaging because branded packaging was never accessible at small quantities.
Our pitch centred on one simple idea: packaging is a brand's first physical touchpoint with its customer. The unboxing moment. And for small businesses, that moment has always been plain, forgettable, and generic — not because they didn't want better, but because no one was offering it at the quantities they needed.
ezpac changes that. For the first time, a business selling 10 products a week can have the same quality of branded packaging as a brand selling 10,000.
Where ezpac Is Headed Next
The Shark Tank appearance accelerated everything. Inquiries went up sharply. Businesses that had been sitting on the fence about branded packaging suddenly made the decision. New cities, new categories, new use cases — we heard from food brands, boutique clothing labels, ayurvedic startups, and corporate gifting companies all in the same week.
A few things we are focused on right now:
• Making the 3D design studio even more intuitive — so anyone can design without any design experience
• Faster delivery timelines — our goal is to be the fastest custom packaging option in India
• Building tools specifically for D2C brands — brands that ship directly to customers and need packaging that creates a memorable unboxing experience
What Small Businesses Are Saying
The most common thing we hear from customers after they receive their first ezpac order is: "I didn't think this was possible at this quantity."
That reaction — that surprise — is exactly why we built ezpac. Small businesses have been told for years that great packaging is only for big brands. It isn't. It never was. The barrier was always access, not desire.
When a home baker sends us a photo of their branded boxes next to their cakes, or when a cosmetics startup posts their first unboxing reel with our pouches, that is the product working exactly as intended.
