Packaging & Printing

Rising e-commerce packaging costs and upcoming EU regulations force UK businesses to reassess their strategies.

Smart packaging and IoT are driving an industry-wide revolution, making packaging more intelligent, interactive, and environmentally friendly.

Among the most promising sustainable packaging solutions are seaweed and cellulose, two natural materials offering a compelling mix of biodegradability, renewability, and performance.

Brands can use customisable packaging to highlight their identity, deliver shareable unboxing experiences, and foster customer loyalty.

The packaging industry is increasingly under pressure to adopt more sustainable practices as environmental concerns continue to rise. Bioplastics, made from renewable biological sources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or algae, are often heralded as a key solution to reducing plastic pollution.

The intersection of global politics and environmental sustainability has taken a front seat in recent years, driving a surge in innovation within the bioplastics sector.

With the EU and US leading the way, new laws are transforming how companies design, use, and recycle packaging materials.

As sustainability becomes a priority for both consumers and businesses, refillable packaging has emerged as a powerful solution to reduce waste and environmental impact.

As advanced paper-based materials emerge, the industry navigates both opportunities and challenges in its shift to sustainability.

Brands and retailers are now exploring closed loop systems, such as compostable packaging, to minimise environmental impact and meet growing regulatory and consumer expectations.

Government regulations significantly influence packaging design across various industries.

In an era marked by environmental concerns and a growing focus on sustainability, the minimalism movement in packaging design has gained significant momentum.

As environmental concerns continue to grow, companies are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by designing recyclable packaging.
