5 Game-Changing Custom Packaging Innovations You Haven’t Heard Of.

In the quick-changing world of packaging, innovation is the key. In pursuit of sustainability, user experiences, and a cut-priced environment, a host of interesting solutions come alive in disparate sides. In this blog post, we are going to discuss 5 interesting custom packaging innovations that are not talked about and could reshape the whole industry.

1. Edible Packaging:

Imagine a world where packing won’t be thrown away but eaten instead! Edible packing is certainly a very captivating innovation that’s gaining traction, especially in the food industry.

Companies like “Loliware” have developed edible cups made of a mixture of plant-based materials; they are biodegradable and flavored, allowing the consumer to enjoy them and have great fun.

2. Smart Packaging Technology:

Smart packaging is simply integrated into conventional packaging to make it more effective and insightful. This development employs devices such as QR codes, NFC (near-Field Communication), and sensors to evaluate the freshness of products.

An example is “Tetra Pak,” which is working on smart labels that can actually recommend the temperature of a product during transportation. This is to ensure the maintenance of quality food and beverages from the factory to consumption.

3. Refillable Packaging:

The refillable packaging is a real change that helps tackle plastic waste. The idea here is that the container is refilled at a refilling station-bring tremendous loop closure into the system.

Brands like “Kraft Heinz” are trying to entice consumers by throwing in refillable pouches for sauces/condiments on their packaging to bring them back in for a refill, as opposed to a buy-once-discard plan every time.

4. Biodegradable Packaging Made from Mycelium:

The mycelium, the root structure of fungi is becoming a game-changing resource for biodegradable packaging.

Companies like “Ecovative Design” are using this resource and doing good work in finding sustainable but really functional packaging. The agricultural waste serves to grow mycelium packaging, so those resources that would otherwise be used are now put to good use.

5. Minimalist Packaging Designs:

At the moment when there is an overload of information and choice in the world, minimalism in packaging is taking the world by storm. This trend concentrates on keeping it simple and reducing the use of material and ecological footprint. Brands are going for lean designs that exhibit practicality without space for waste.

For instance,  “Aesop”, a skincare brand, has become known for its elegant yet minimalist packaging, which communicates the brand’s belief in quality and sustainability.

Conclusion!

In the world of packaging, such kinds of custom packaging innovations are only the tip of the iceberg into the future of sustainable, yet practical packaging.

Packaging that is edible, smart technologies, and biodegradable products are some of the many other innovations that create not only a welcoming environment but even improve the customer experience.

Being aware of such trends will keep such companies at the positive and unreasonable forefront of this packaging revolution that will entice conscious consumers.
