One of the major trends in packaging is the drive towards sustainability. Consumers prefer goods packaged in materials that are easy to recycle or safe to compost and a recent Two Sides report shows that consumers perceive paper-based packaging as better for the environment than other packaging materials.
A recent drupa survey illustrated that while e-commerce is relatively new worldwide, more companies are installing or upgrading such systems to satisfy the increasing demand. As this growth continues, an increase in printing on cardboard and boxes is on the rise, and print manufacturers are creating solutions to accommodate this trend. There are new printers that can print directly onto cardboard boxes.
Recent data from pulp and paper business intelligence company Fisher International cites several market factors driving the switch to paper packaging, including legislation in the U.S., Canada, and across the globe.
