With supply-chain challenges more front-and-center of public awareness and concern, optimizing the product journey and protecting upstream value has proved to be increasingly essential.
Despite the challenges often presented by flexible packaging in terms of consistent recycling channels, the format remains a preferred choice for brands, retailers and consumers alike.
Consumers continue to become more aware of single-use plastics, food waste and recycling, particularly with the rise of documentaries like Seaspiracy. This has led to many brands seeking new and innovative methods to meet consumer sustainability expectations and to capture market share.
Walk into any store and one encounters a plethora of products. The typical Walmart has more than 120,000 different product SKUs available. Each one required packaging consumables to safely make it to store shelves.
Remember the optimism heading into 2021? Vaccines were on their way. Factories were opening back up. We knew there were issues with the supply chain, but a problem recognized is a problem that can be solved. Yeah … good times.
A new whitepaper from Intengine about sustainability in packaging outlines the necessity for sustainability as well as resources for implementing sustainable practices.

By now, most of us are likely getting used to social distancing, wearing masks, using hand sanitizer non-stop and the craziness the first three-quarters of the year was. But what has the pandemic brought to the packaging space?
Now more than ever, packaging safety is a top priority — not just for pharmaceuticals and certain foods requiring temperature, moisture or other control measures.
It’s no secret that sustainability has risen in importance as a packaging consideration, but it can still be startling to see how strong consumer preferences are in relation to this issue today.
A popular bottled syrup company recently partnered with EPIC Systems to launch newly designed bottles and labels for the its evolving breakfast food portfolio. This partnership resulted in a robust packaging inspection system that helped the syrup company bring new products to market quickly, without exposing the brand to undue risks.
