5 Packaging Trends for 2021
15 December 2020

Here are the 5 big packaging trends to look out for in 2021:
1. Sustainability
Think: Paper and Board
Plastic has been on the way out for years, and 2021 will be no different. Plastic polymailers (even if they're recyclable) don't scream sustainability - in fact, quite the opposite. With paper and board, your customers instantly know it's recyclable and sustainable.

2. Convenience
Think: Ripper Strips
We saw a huge uptake in convenient packaging solutions such as ripper strips in 2020 and expect it to become even more mainstream in 2021. With the increase in e-commerce, peel and seal strips and rippers mean less packaging time in the warehouse and easy to open packages for your customers. No more messing around with scissors and tape.

3. Novelty
Think: Unboxing Experience
Not all packages are made equal. Packaging that tells a story, is unique, and Instagrammable, will win in 2021. With people receiving more packages than ever how do you make your brand stand out?

4. Speed to Market
Think: Quick Turnarounds
If this year has taught us anything; it is how quickly you need to adapt to the changes going on around you. Businesses that are quick to market when it comes to these changes will succeed. We manufacture everything right here in the UK so you don't have to worry about possible oversea shipping challenges be it from lockdowns or (dare we say it) Brexit.

5. E-Commerce
Think: Letterbox Friendly
It's no secret that e-commerce is booming. How can you succeed? By creating letterbox friendly packaging. Your customers don't need to be at home waiting to get your product or risk it being left outside or having to reschedule. Instead, it simply slips through the letterbox, ready and waiting for them when they arrive home.
