It’s a tradition here at Swiftpak to share our top packaging trends as the new year approaches. We simply want to help your business prepare its packaging and give you that competitive edge.
So, with that said, here are our 5 top packaging trends for you to consider leading up to 2022.
1. Reusable and sustainable packaging
The sustainable packaging trend is here to stay, just like our previous packaging trends article states.
Having sustainable packaging not only protects the environment, but will help your brand stand out with a positive message.
But this year, the trend of eco-friendliness goes beyond sustainable packaging. More and more businesses are struggling with the current cardboard shortages, and are therefore realising the positive outcomes of reusable packaging materials, including how well they are received by consumers. From returnable packaging containers, through to pallets and packaging inserts, all produced from a wide range of materials.
Whilst reusable packaging can be effective consumer-side too (such as drinks bottles and retail bags), the main application for this trend is with B2B and industrial closed loop supply chains.
