CGM Understands the Changes in Food Packaging.

July 9, 2020

Requirements for safe food packaging are changing now more than ever. Customers reward companies that adhere to the new guidelines and trends. As the global food packaging market approaches $400 billion by 2025, consumer desires and modern lifestyles continue to facilitate a shift in how people perceive food, according to “Trends and Advances in Food Packaging and Processing” from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. 5 trends that continue to be of concern are:

Clean Labels
Plant-Based Ingredients
Lifestyle Foods
Sustainability
Traceability

The outbreak of Covid-19 has brought to the forefront additional packaging concerns such as:

Sustainable Food and Beverage Packaging (“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”)
Post-Consumer Resins (PCRs)
E-Commerce Packaging
Interactive Packaging
