The beverages are produced using local spices, fruit, flowers and pulses, and some of the fruits grow wild, such as jamun and kokum. The company has stated that it does not use artificial coloring or preservatives in its products.

We grew up. We looked back.

“A simpler time”, we said, a bit wistfully.

We looked back, wanted to touch it.

Reached out for it; longed for it.

We looked back, and we looked around. 

And there were no evil bosses, just characters from a comic book.

No notes during dull presentations, just incomprehensible doodles

No traffic, just nameless faces with complex back-stories

No bad assessments, just report cards to be hidden

No cricket match to be missed, just a stomach-ache to be feigned.

Life was so beautiful..

Packaging:

The packaging is eco friendly and travel friendly.

Each flavour is packed in attractive, colorful, hour glass shape like aluminium lined paper pouches.

The packaging itself is pretty bright and refreshing.

The pack design, in itself makes Paper Boat beverages stand out from the crowd of the other drinks.
