Add some flavor to packaging with new innovations this month!

This September marked the Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging event in Olympia, London held on 13th and 14th with several packaging, branding, marketing, and design professionals sharing a common roof. Packaging is one of the world’s fastest evolving markets and it is important to stay updated with the latest trends prevailing in the industry. Hence, we have brought to you impeccable packaging innovations for the month of September.

Packaging Innovation #1 - Light Emitting Packaging

Everything that glitters may not be gold; it could be your packaging too! Saralon GmbH has created an attractive light-emitting box, which has a printed illuminated display on foil, or paper, laminated on a corrugated box. The illuminated displays can also be made on the bottle label and even glass bottles, apart from simple cardboard boxes.

Packaging Innovation #2 - Multi-Page Wrap-Around Wet Peel Labels

It is a huge challenge for manufacturers to design labels for small sized packaging, especially those whose requirements include printing extensive mandatory information on every single unit like a list of ingredients, dose, health warnings, batch numbers, storage information, and other details.

The experts at Denny Bros Ltd. created multi-page wrap-around wet peel labels that work effectively with smaller packaging. The said packaging provides sufficient space/ pages for the information, and eliminates the need for a separate information leaflet, thereby reducing the packaging waste, simplifying inventory, and improving the production line speed.

Packaging Innovation #3 -3D Packaging Design

iC3D is a real-time package design software which generates 3D digital mockups for cartons, labels, flexible packages, bottles, and wraps. It also creates an in-store visualization of the storage. The software reduces the design proofing time and approving the packaging material even before the first unit is being created!
