Cosmo Films wins three SIES SOP Star Awards 2026

Cosmo Films, specialty films manufacturer, has been honored with three SIES SOP Star Awards 2026 in its 9th edition, under the packaging materials and components category.  

The awards were presented on March 17, 2026, recognizing the company’s continued excellence in developing high-performance, application-driven packaging solutions. 

The three award-winning products include: CPP Film for Deep Freeze Application (HST-1 (DF) CPP), High Barrier Pigmented BOPP Film (HST-1 (HBOM)) and Lidding Film for Retort Application (HST-1 (LRT) CPP). 

These innovations reflect Cosmo Films’ strong focus on addressing evolving packaging requirements across food and FMCG sectors, particularly in areas demanding durability, barrier performance and process efficiency. In the previous edition, the company’s two products, metallized BOPP for high-speed packaging and next generation UHB-HR MO high heat resistance BOPP film for replacing METPET mono carton packaging application, were awarded with the SIES SOP Star Awards. 

The CPP Film for Deep Freeze applications is engineered to deliver superior performance in extreme low-temperature conditions, ensuring product integrity and seal reliability. The high barrier pigmented BOPP film offers enhanced protection against moisture and oxygen, making it ideal for sensitive packaged products. Meanwhile, the retort lidding film is designed to withstand high-temperature sterilization processes while maintaining seal strength and product safety. 

Commenting on the achievement, Kulbhushan Malik, global business head, Cosmo Films, said: ‘Winning three SIES SOP Star Awards is a testament to our continued focus on innovation and customer-centric product development. These recognitions reinforce our commitment to delivering high-performance specialty films that cater to evolving industry needs while ensuring quality, efficiency, and sustainability.’ 

The 9th edition of the SIES SOP Star Awards had 227 entries from 51 companies, with the top 49 percent entries coming from user industries and 34 percent from packaging user converter/printer segments. Cosmo Films has consistently strengthened its specialty portfolio, which today constitutes a significant share of its overall business, supported by strong R&D capabilities and a deep understanding of global packaging trends. 

With a growing emphasis on value-added films and sustainable packaging, the company continues to invest in advanced technologies and product innovation to stay ahead in the global specialty films market.
