This new design gives people a chance to carry their favourite snack while traveling. It is a compact packaging consisting of enough quantity while traveling. A transparent airtight cap is provided for the consumer to make sure what their food looks like and verify its quality at least by looking at it.

The outer box is a paper tube made by recycling the papers with a plastic tray inside reducing plastic usage compared to the current packaging of the product. The inner tray helps to retain the shape of every piece of Bakarwadi and to avoid any damage to it.

The bright colours are used for the packaging so that the packaging stands out among other products. The illustrations of the skyline of historic monuments in Pune are illustrated giving the packaging identity of Pune-place where Chitale was first established.
