Since the beginning of the pandemic, retail has seen a significant shift to ecommerce shopping methods. With that brings increased need for additional packaging when transporting and shipping goods.
As a result, this will continue to increase the need for more sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
We have been exploring the key packaging solutions that we believe will become increasingly popular in the new year.
Packaging Automation
With COVID 19 continuing to be a threat across the globe, the automation of packaging will continue to be important for many manufacturers and distributors. This will reduce the amount of workers needed within one space and overall costs to the business too.
Not only that, automating your process will allow the business to increase their targets, which will continue to improve efficiency.
Ecommerce Packaging
The shift in consumer behaviour since the beginning of the pandemic is highly unlikely to ever return to pre-COVID levels. As a result, consumers will continue to expect a smooth and flawless experience – from browsing their purchase to placing their order and its delivery.
This means every detail, right down to the packaging must impress. Consumers are aware of the environmental issues facing the planet and with that they expect to see changes to the ways in which their goods are packaged and delivered to them. Reducing unnecessary and excess packaging is a crucial step in that process.
Reusable Packaging
Reusable packaging has become very popular in recent years and can be seen in more and more shapes and forms. Whether that is reusable plastic for cleaning products or paper bags that can also be used as wrapping paper.
When packaging isn’t necessarily reusable, it is important for consumers that it is made from recycled materials or can be recycled once used.
