Current Trends in Industrial Packaging

There are many changing trends and innovations in industrial packaging, and we wanted to highlight some of the biggest ones right now:

Downgauging

Downgauging has become a strong packaging focus for many industries. Reducing the materials involved in your packaging solution has many benefits, including the following:

• More enviromentally friendly

Recycling

Another huge packaging focus across all industries is recycling. Whether this means using recycled materials in your packaging or creating a recyclable packaging solution, the goal is to adhere to the 3Rs principle to reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible.

Optimizing Pack Shape

Another way to make your packaging as efficient as possible is to optimize its shape. This is especially important for industrial packaging as the shape of the pack plays a crucial role in determining the total logistics and distribution cost, as most freight companies calculate the shipping cost based on volumetric weight. Creating a packaging solution with an optimized shape can save considerable costs.

Safety

When it comes to packaging industrial products, one of the biggest struggles is maintaining a balance between controlling packaging waste and creating packaging material that provides the required strength and performance. This is a crucial balance, especially when hazardous materials are involved.
