Four major packaging trends

Connected packaging

Connected Packaging

With more and more mobile devices and technologies connecting packaging and the online world, connected packaging is beginning to rise. From QR codes to augmented reality, brands now have a wealth of options to connect virtually with their packaging. This not only allows the brand to influence the appearance of the image on the network, but also provides attractive content and influences the purchase decision of consumers.

SIG Comport has a complete solution platform called Connected Packaging (Connected Pack), which is committed to providing 100 percent connectivity and traceability on each package. For example, our end-to-end tracking & traceability solutions help producers optimize processes and product quality, while enabling consumers to understand detailed product information.

Closing the loop

Closed loop

Recycling is nothing new, but consumers want more transparency and simplicity. Recyclable packaging is common, but many consumers are still confused or unaware of what is recyclable and what is not. In the future, by participating in the solution and using recycled materials in new packaging, brands will have the opportunity to increase consumer awareness of recycling.

All materials of SIG Comex bags, such as cardboard, can be recycled and reused. In addition to its recycling cycle, our packaging materials have a natural raw material cycle before they are made into materials. All our cardboard is from FSC™Certified Resources (FSC™Trademark license code: FSC™C020428), help forests grow and ensure a greater supply of renewable materials in the future. This cycle is very unique for beverage packaging, as most other food and beverage packaging is made of non-renewable petrochemical materials. In addition, independent life-cycle assessments have also shown that our carton packaging is less environmentally polluting than other alternatives in terms of overall life cycle, which means less carbon and petrochemical feedstock consumption.

Reinventing the box

Reinventing the box

Although most people prefer to buy fruits and vegetables in the store, the convenience of the Internet will eventually permeate the food industry. That's why brands now need to think about packaging that meets the needs of e-commerce. This means everything from splitting information between primary and secondary packaging to creating an "unboxing" experience and packaging that can handle external supply chains.

The packaging of SIG Comex bag is ideal for e-commerce. Without refrigeration, food and beverages can also be hygienically and safely protected from light and air, which means that the color, flavor, nutrients and vitamins of the product can be preserved for a longer period of time. Our packaging is light, not easy to break, space-saving, easy to stack and transport.

Plastic-free

No Plastic

As the No Plastic movement grows, brands need to move quickly to either switch to other materials that are accepted or defend plastic materials to secure their market position. With no clear definition of what "plastic-free" really means, brands need to do a better job of communicating the benefits of "good quality" plastics while tackling pollution with the right single-use packaging solutions.

SIG Comex is a leader in developing sustainable solutions, especially our SIGNATURE PACK and paper straws. SIGNATURE PACK is the world's first aseptic carton packaging -100% using plant-based renewable materials, including recycled plastics. Our new paper straw is also the first product in the industry that can be directly put on the market and can replace plastic straws in beverage packaging.
