8 Trending Packaging Solutions for Your Next Product Launch
As we reach the midpoint of 2023, we’ve noticed some emerging trends, breakthrough materials, and innovative capabilities in the world of packaging. From new product ranges and sustainable solutions to turnkey manufacturing, we’re sharing 8 of our favorite items from the Impacked Marketplace!
Glasmeister’s New Refill: The Olive Jar 💡
We were excited to see the launch of Glasmeister’s refillable glass jar on Impacked as more cosmetic brands seek refillable solutions for smaller products such as lip balms and night creams! While some brands are creating their own molds, Glasmeister’s ultra-sustainable refill jars are available across a variety of sizes with low minimum order quantities. This functional design also allows consumers to easily separate the glass jar and refill to ensure recyclability of each component.
Idealpak’s Turnkey Adjustable Mold Capabilities 🧴
For the brands looking to launch a whole new range of products, say hello to Idealpak’s line of adjustable molds. Idealpak uses a mold with a fixed diameter and an adjustable bottom which allows for varied capacities of the same style without investing in a custom mold - ideal for launching a new range. In other words, low cost, low lead time customization for jars and bottles including foaming products!
Cameo Metal Products Expands into Glass Jars 🔍
Earlier this year Cameo Metal products launched an all new range of highly recyclable glass products with matching child resistant aluminum threaded closures. These ranges were Cameo’s first line of glass products, complimenting their existing ranges of metal packaging components. We’ve seen great uses for these glass jars from brands specializing in lip care, face care, and body scrubs.
APC’s Recyclable Airless Pumps 💚
Did someone say recyclable airless pumps!? Airless pumps have generally gained more and more popularity due to their ability to increase product shelf life and reduce product waste through an air-tight locking mechanism. This particular APC polypropylene airless bottle caught our eye because it is mono-material, making the recycling process much easier on the consumer as well as increasing the probability that the product is actually recycled.
Viva’s 100% PCR Refillable Deodorant Stick ♻️
With refill-ready packaging starting to become more common in body wash and fragrances, we were super excited to see Viva’s launch of refillable deodorant sticks earlier this year. Viva’s refillable oval deodorant sticks are 100% PCR and feature an in-mold label decoration which allows for 360-degree, high definition artwork. Most importantly, the refill cartridges are made with over 50% less plastic making this product a best in class sustainable solution.
MRP’s Custom Lite Closure Program fast 🏭
Caps that are as custom as custom gets! MRP offers a range of closures on Impacked which are from their Custom Lite Program, a program developed to help brands quickly create eye-catching closures. The benefit of this program is that brands can find closures with unique textures, complex designs, and vibrant colors, all without needing to create a costly custom mold. Yes please!
APG Ground Breaking Infinity Pumps 🚀
APG's infinity pumps may look similar to traditional pumps, but there's a whole lot of innovation packed into this closure. While traditional pumps tend to have metal springs that render the closure un-recyclable, the infinity pump uses an all plastic alternative allowing for the pump to be fully recyclable. This ground-breaking innovation helps drive the adoption of fully recyclable products across personal care and cosmetics. To infinity and beyond!
Pico’s Groundbreaking Papersnap Sachets 💧
Pico has been shaking up the single use plastic landscape with their easy-to-use dispensing packs for liquid/semi-liquid products. Their most recent innovation, the Papersnap, is made of 85% paper allowing for the product to be recyclable while still being suitable for cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Single Serving sachets have never looked so good!
