9 Types of Packaging – Guide for Importers

The guide has already mentioned certain consumers&#; interest in sustainability these days. Add to this the raft of new sustainability laws coming into action, such as the EU Ecodesign regulation, which requires manufacturers to control their environmental impact and produce more eco-friendly and sustainable products and packaging, and you have a compelling reason to select greener packaging options.

For more information, please visit our website.

So let&#;s explore the kind of reusable packaging or dunnage that may support this movement, improve your compliance with sustainability regulations, and enhance your brand if being eco-friendly is important to your customers.

Firstly, there is a difference between sustainable and reusable, but both can work towards the same goal of being more environmentally friendly.

Reusable By Design

Packaging (and dunnage) which is reusable by design will usually focus on being hard-wearing (so it can last longer and be used again and again), collapsible, nestable, and simple to use for consumers. Therefore boxes, bags, and cases tend to be common, but we also see jars and containers that fit this description, too.

You could imagine the below plastic case being used primary packaging for, say, a set of cosmetics and then used by the consumer to store assorted toiletries later on:

Therefore, it isn&#;t &#;single-use or expendable packaging or dunnage&#; like a lot of styrofoam inserts and other plastic packagings like that which will either go to landfill or can possibly be recycled.

If a brand provides reusable packaging made from non-sustainable materials like plastics, this is still far more environmentally-responsible than not doing so and can make a positive difference to the brand&#;s reputation.

What Can Be Reusable?

Aside from expendable packaging or dunnage that occurs in a very specific shape which doesn&#;t lend itself to reuse, most packaging can be reusable:

• Cardboard boxes
• Dunnage &#; bubble wrap, for instance, is not single-use
• Plastic containers
• Bags &#; plastic or a natural material like jute or cotton
• Straps and wrapping

Guiding Consumers To Reuse Packaging

Brand messaging is a factor, too.

Consumers can be educated to see many kinds of packaging that they would usually consider to be &#;expendable&#; as a reusable item.

Let&#;s take any cardboard box as an example. It&#;s almost certain that it can be reused as long as it is designed to open and remain intact without the consumer needing to destroy it. Some sustainable brands choose to add a &#;story&#; or &#;message&#; to such packaging suggesting how a consumer can reuse, or at least recycle, the box later on.

Proactively encouraging consumers to take the opportunity to reuse regular packaging with guidance like this helps position a brand as a leader in sustainability.

A good example of this is a British detergent company, Smol. Their fabric conditioner is purchased and comes in a reusable and recyclable plastic bottle. When empty, the consumer uses the same reusable cardboard box that it was shipped in to return it to the company for a refill, and so on.

The sustainability of packaging materials is a proven issue for today&#;s consumers

According to statistics given in Raconteur&#;s &#;Future of Packaging&#; report, in a poll of global shoppers, they look unfavorably on packaging&#;s negative impact on the environment.

About half believe that products use too much packaging and that the packaging used is difficult to recycle which shows how important the choice of packaging material and type is in order to gain consumer approval.

But the most important statistic from the above image is that 62% of consumers polled would prefer packaging that can be recycled multiple times. So, this would be materials like:

• Paper

• Card

• Certain plastics, like PET and HDPE

   

But the consumers go even further with their scorn for unsustainable packaging:

In fact, 80% feel that manufacturers should be held accountable for the recycling and reuse of the packaging they choose to use. But this doesn&#;t just remain as a wish in the consumer&#;s mind. Governments around the world are picking up on this and it is being pushed towards legislation in certain countries and states.

In Washington State in the USA, for example, legislators have been discussing a bill that &#;would prohibit producers that do not participate in a plastic packaging stewardship organization from selling packaging made wholly or in part from plastic in Washington State, beginning in . Plastic food service products, including utensils, and other specified plastic items associated with food or beverage service are included in the definition of plastic packaging.&#;

This EPR (extended producer responsibility) effectively forces manufacturers and users of plastic packagings, such as takeout food containers, to put in place a plan to recycle their packaging. Stricter EPR is also planned for the UK by , for example, too.

The war on unsustainable packaging, such as single-use plastics is raging, perhaps spurred on by certain countries being left high-and-dry by China&#;s ban on imports of plastic waste from around the world, and the EU and Canada have passed legislation to ban single-use plastics completely by which they hope can take the pressure off them, reduce the use of &#;bad&#; packaging, and boost sustainable thinking. This plays well into the intention of 57% of consumers polled who stated that they would actively try to avoid products which use a lot of packaging in order to limit their contribution to climate change. This supports the trend of moving towards paper or plant-based packaging away from plastics.

However, a word of caution about the &#;green options&#; of paper and card packaging. As &#;The Grocer&#; outlines in their article &#;Is paper really better for the Earth than plastic?&#;:

Paper has its own environmental baggage, of course. From its massive water footprint to the use of chemicals such as PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) as barriers for greasy food. Denmark and several US states have banned PFAS, known as forever chemicals because they don&#;t break down in the environment, from all paper and board packaging.

Then there is deforestation and the planting of monoculture forests that contain a single variety of tree. These are planted to provide a resource, such as pulp, timber or palm oil, but lack biodiversity and are exposed to a changing climate.

 

How serious is the sustainability legislation and will it impact the packaging you use?

Sustainability is now being taken increasingly seriously by governments around the world, not just by cities and areas of one country at a time.

The EU, for example, is bringing into law the new Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (published in , to be enforced starting in ) which will penalize and even prevent unsustainable products from being imported into the EU. As a part of the regulation, importers will be obliged to do a product lifecycle assessment (LCA) where the entire environmental impact of the product from obtaining its raw materials to producing it and then putting it on sale is measured, assessed, and made available for regulatory bodies to check. Be of no doubt that your packaging&#;s makeup and environmental impact will be a part of this assessment.

Benefits Of Reusable Packaging

• If a company is able to build a system where consumers receive reusable packaging once and then purchase refills this leads to lower purchase or disposal costs of packaging and is also a more sustainable and eco-friendly business model.
• The environment is protected as the reusable packaging negates the need for damaging single-use packaging made from plastics which cannot biodegrade and may be difficult or impossible to recycle.
• Reusable packaging benefits brand image, as consumers today are more attuned to sustainable products and will welcome packaging that is either recyclable, reusable, or made from sustainable materials.

Drawbacks Of Reusable Packaging

• The initial purchase costs of reusable packaging may be higher than single-use types due to the use of sturdier, recyclable, or higher-quality materials required.
• Providing free return postage to consumers (for services like refills mentioned above) also increases costs.

• Not all &#;sustainable&#; packaging is easily recyclable &#; for instance,

  compostable bioplastics

  sound great, but they&#;re often only processed by industrial composting facilities that the average consumer has limited or no access to.

Will consumers be prepared to accept higher costs for sustainable products (assuming that brands pass it on to them) compared to similar competitors who don&#;t make the effort to be green? This is a tough decision brands need to make.

In this special issue of Packaging You Shouldn&#;t Miss, we picked the absolute best packaging design projects from each issue. As you may know, we have been publishing 1 issue per month for the past 99 issues going back to our first issue 8 years ago.

Tea that cools you down! &#; packaging design by Deng Xiongbo

In China, when people eat too much fried food or hotpot, it&#;s very possible for them to get sores and pain in the mouth, tongue and throat. This symptom is called &#;get inflamed&#;. In Chinese, &#;get inflamed&#; literally looks almost the same as &#;on fire&#;, and can indeed be understood as that the flame is burning. However, it does not indicate the flame that we can actually see, but a Chinese expression for describing physical discomfort. When Chinese people have such discomfort or intend to prevent this physical illness, they will choose to drink herbal tea. Based on the literal meaning of the product name, we adopt a straightforward way to design the fire extinguisher look of the product. The design will enable consumers to realize the strong effect of the product in a shorter time because its appearance has explained everything. Additionally, in the context of Chinese culture, this creative idea is bound to be instantly understood at the first glance of every Chinese.

Peel Saver student concept by Simone Caronni, Pietro Gaeli, Paolo Stefano Gentile

What can fast food companies do with the potato peels waste? Create a sustainable and biodegradable fries packaging of course!

Fries companies produce a lot of potato peels waste. The idea of this project is to use this waste material in order to create a street food packaging. The potato peel is made up of starches and fibers components, which after maceration and natural drying, acquire the ability to bond with each other and harden. The obtained material is completely made of production waste and is 100% biodegradable. After being used, the packaging can be usefully re-inserted in the biological cycle becoming animal food or fertilizer for plants.

Sealing wax is not just the best way to protect a beverage in the bottle from air leaking into it but also it can be used to create an individual and signature look. Typically, during the waxing process, the excess wax flows down the bottle. These wax drool look very much like octopus tentacles.

Zara Kids Fragrance packaging design by Lavernia & Cienfuegos

ZARA KIDS is a fragrance for children between the ages of 3 and 14. We were asked to come up with two illustrations/characters that were fun and attractive, spoke to a child&#;s visual language and that also clearly differentiate boys from girls. We created a bunny and a robot with carefully selected colour palettes to fulfill these requirements. In addition to this solution, we had a special interest in giving the characters on the packaging a playful spin (literally) instead of just being attractive protective casing that is thrown away once opened. We came up with the idea, through using cardboard tubes, to rotate the lid so that the eyes of each character change with each turn. A nice little touch is that the positioning of the lids is not fixed to the base of the tube, which means that each reference lines up differently at the point of sale.
