2019 Food and Beverage Packaging Trends Offer Opportunities for Retailers

According to the 2018 EcoFocus Trend Study conducted by EcoFocus Worldwide, grocery shoppers in 2018 have greater expectations of packaging than ever before – especially when it relates to healthy food and beverages. Brands in the healthy food and beverage category who have embraced CLEAN LABEL and CLEAN PROCESSING now have the opportunity to add CLEAN PACKAGING as a way to further differentiate their products on the grocery shelves.

More shoppers are choosing stores based on their offerings of healthy and environmentally friendly selections. Packaging is a factor in these decisions. 67% of grocery shoppers say “retailers should choose what products they put on their shelves based on how environmentally friendly the packaging is.”

Specifically, the trends study shows that all forms of food and beverage packaging, including store brands, will be challenged to:
1.Work Harder to Protect Taste, Freshness and Nutrients
2.Work Harder to Align with Ingredients
3.Work Harder to Be Responsible
4.Work Harder to Share Values

A perfect pair: Sappi and the new ACTEGA Terra calendar

Algro Design® Card from Sappi provides the ideal substrate for overprint varnish from Europe's leading manufacturer ACTEGA Terra in its new 2017 annual calendar. Inspiration for packaging printing: As in previous years, the popular new edition of the photo wall calendar from ACTEGA Terra GmbH reflects a variety of varnish finishing on the bright white Algro Design Card carton board from Sappi. The high quality of the printing substrate once again strongly differentiates the calendar from commonly used image-printing paper types. The theme this year is "Cultures": The calendar includes photographs that focus on people, their habits, everyday activities, their lives. "After exotic landscapes, animals, cities and underwater worlds, it was time for something new with images that touch us emotionally and that express vitality. The calendar takes the viewer across continents and highlights what makes our earth so interesting and multifaceted… just as multifaceted as the world of overprint varnishes," according to Timo Kondziela, Head of Marketing at ACTEGA Terra GmbH in Lehrte. click Read More below for additional detail
