Learn about new trends in e-commerce packaging from ThePackHub’s November Packaging Innovation Briefing report.
E-commerce is shaping packaging innovation.With demand for online-specific packaging still important, the COVID 19 pandemic has boosted the channel significantly.As the market begins to expand, there are increasing opportunities for brands and retailers to offer packaging solutions that are first tailored for that channel, rather than replicating brick-and-mortar store-bought packaging.Packaging designed for e-commerce channels does not need to have the same security measures.The buying decision is displayed on the screen, so there is no need to display such bright information on the packaging information, and the packaging does not need to be explicitly designed to be attractive to the supermarket shelf.Learn more about ThePackHub Innovation District here.
Crisp/Avojoy Avocado Sustainable PackagingThePackHubOnline Retailer Creates Recyclable Packaging for Avocados at Different Stages of Ripe
Dutch online supermarket Crisp has teamed up with avocado producer Your Avojoy to create sustainable packaging for avocados made from cardboard that look no different from egg cartons.The pack contains three avocados, all at various stages of ripeness, two of which are ready to eat and the third that can be saved for later use.The idea is to allow customers to place fewer and fewer orders each week, thereby saving on greenhouse gas emissions and shipping costs.Additionally, many consumers may not want to eat all their avocados in one sitting, which helps reduce food waste.The packaging is also recyclable, further enhancing the sustainability of the packaging.
BoxThePackHubFlexibag and Mondi Flexibag in Box Combo Meet Pet Food SIOC Demand The North American arm of Mondi Consumer Flexibles has launched a new product targeting the pet food market.The product, called Flexibag in Box, was developed after research identified consumer demand for this type of packaging, which has never been seen before in the pet food industry.The Flexibag in Box has been designed especially for the growing market for SIOC (Owned Container Ship) products.The slider on the Flexibag helps consumers easily dispense product and then re-close without having to empty the product bag into a bin or bucket.The flexible bag is said to be compatible with existing filling equipment currently handling large pet food side gusset bags.FlexiBags can be used for advanced gravure and up to 10-color flexo or UHD flexo.The bag has clear windows, laser scoring and gussets.Both bags and boxes can be custom branded.
Flexi-Hex hit the scene in 2018 with its unique and groundbreaking beverage bottle sleeves.With the Flexi-Hex Air, the company is once again on the innovative line.It is a lightweight sustainable packaging solution made of paper with a honeycomb structure for great strength.Produced in partnership with Seaman Paper, the material is made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper that is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.Flexi-Hex Air is available in four different sizes and three colors.Targeting the cosmetic market, uses are said to include protecting bottles, pumps and sprays, jars, tubes and compacts.Its space-saving patented design means it can be compressed to less than 35 times its maximum width, meaning it can be stored economically, while the honeycomb design stretches and adjusts its shape to fit the product.Flexi-Hex Air is the latest addition to the Flexi-Hex range, which started in Cornwall, UK, as an eco-friendly solution for surfing and snowboarding before the introduction of beverage bottles.
