Packaging Trends ARE Increasing The Corrugated Box Manufacturing Business. Here’s Why:

Corrugated has many benefits that complement the packaging trends now and in the future. A big push in packaging is being more environmentally friendly. While this isn’t the only thing to consider when packaging your products, this is a heavy hitter. Although major brands want to build trust with their customers by becoming more environmentally conscious, they are only prepared to make the switch in sustainable packaging if the investment will add to their bottom line. In our experience, we are noticing that being environmentally smart is becoming less of an option and more of a must-do because of the ethical responsibility to its customers and the ever-evolving government policies.

While the pressures of environmentally-friendly packaging increases the demands for efficiency, corrugated packaging is often the answer. It creates the perfect balance for the best low-cost, efficient and environmentally-conscious solution. So what makes corrugated the best choice for packaging?

Corrugated Is Environmentally Friendly

Technology continues to evolve in corrugated packaging production. This technology involves better designs and more recycling possibilities, which produces more sustainable corrugated packaging. Consumers and businesses looking to purchase products from “green” companies will not over-look packaging marked as sustainable. This is important to them, so this cost-effective solution is a win-win.

It’s Lightweight

Corrugated box manufacturers are always looking for new ways to reduce the weight of their boxes and packaging supplies. For instance, here at Atlas Container, we’ve recently added two new pieces of equipment, the Latitude and our friendly robot. This has helped us produce corrugated products more efficiently and accurately. This was a big investment for us that is producing amazing results for our clients and we’d be happy to discuss these results with you anytime! We understand that when our clients need to ship products long-distance, they need to keep overall packaging weight as light as possible to maintain the budget within their operational costs. Our lightweight corrugated packaging options can handle surprising capacities and weights. The durability and strength of these types of shipping materials ensures our clients’ products are packaged and shipped safely.

Online Shopping - Need We Say More?

Online shopping isn’t slowing down. With malls closing and other department stores declaring bankruptcy, it’s easy to notice that people want convenience in how they buy products. For companies selling products online, shipping is a big investment, but merchants can simplify their box designs specifically to their online sales. Branding within your package design is extremely important  and can often make or break the relationship with your consumers. With corrugated, there are many cost-effective solutions for packaging, brand recognition and print.

Speaking of Print

It’s no secret that simple and environmentally-friendly packaging is on the rise. But, the demand for point-of-sale displays and retail-ready packaging is also increasing. This increase has created a craze around printing that enables images and text on displays and boxes, which allows companies to brand themselves in unique and more cost-effective ways. Even minimal branding goes a long way.  It’s well worth discussing packaging designs with your packaging manufactures of their capabilities in print.
