5 Game-changing trends
1
The rise in global ecommerce will place a focus on packaging requirements including the demand for new products.
2
Sustainability requirements are being realised at every step of the supply chain. Consumers are getting ever more sensitive to the environmental implications of the packaging they receive. Brands and manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to improve their packaging materials to make an impression in the minds of their customers. Green packaging is one small step towards not only improving overall brand image but also eco-friendliness.
3
Digital printing makes it far easier to customise packaging and personalise products. Many of the top product brands have explored personalised packaging and found a significant return on this innovative marketing investment.
4
The flexible packaging market continues to be one of the fastest growing segments in the global packaging industry. As consumers shift towards packaging which requires minimum time and effort to open, carry and store; brands and manufacturers will start to adopt flexible options including zippers, tear notches, peel-off lids, hang hole features, and microwavable pouches. Flexible packaging is also favoured due to its premium quality, cost-effectiveness, convenience, practicality and sustainability to the manufacturer.
5
Digitalisation and Internet of Things (IoT) are being used to drive down costs and gain a competitive edge with consumers. Integrating technology into packaging can generate greater customer value and better customer service.
