The shift in consumer habits towards environmentally friendly packaging is a current trend. To meet the needs of users, manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers in the packaging industry must also change. Haplast will reveal 5 packaging products businesses should invest in to capture the future, generating profits in the article below.
Environmentally Friendly Packaging
In the future, environmentally friendly will become increasingly popular due to its ability to biodegrade and reduce plastic waste. Businesses should invest in this type of packaging to stay ahead of future packaging trends.
Recently, the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (Pamsa) conducted a global study in 16 countries on current packaging usage trends, revealing that most consumers prefer paper packaging for its environmental benefits and recyclability. Specifically, paper and cardboard are the two most preferred materials, evaluated based on three criteria: environmental friendliness, cost efficiency, and practicality.
The research also indicates that this preference is not just a passive trend but a sign that consumers are actively adjusting their habits to protect the environment. This consumer action forces manufacturers and retailers to change their packaging.
Smart packaging
Smart packaging is one of the new types of packaging that may become popular in the future. These are packaging products integrated with technology to provide additional information, manage goods, or provide interactive user experience.
For example, packaging with QR codes to access information, packaging with sensors to track order journeys or simply convenient packaging types. In 2020, AR-connected packaging was tested, allowing users to hear engaging stories, and receive notifications, usage instructions, product origin, and brand messages. This is a first step for smart packaging in the future.
Reusable Packaging
In addition to environmentally friendly packaging, reusable packaging products are predicted to become a new trend in the future. For example, packaging with resealing capabilities, better preservation features, or convenient designs to facilitate product use and storage.
Edible Packaging
Edible packaging is a type of packaging made from plant-based materials, not only preserving food well but also being edible. However, this type of packaging is still in the research and testing stage. It is predicted to be a new type of packaging in the future to address the increasing pollution and plastic waste issue.
