Sustainability Awareness
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware about not only what goes into their products, but the packaging it comes in. This awareness means sustainability can influence a consumer's purchasing decision and is why MRP has focused on creating recyclable packaging that can be made with post consumer material options.
Packaging for the Online Experience
As consumers continue to embrace online shopping, the rise of social media platforms have allowed consumers and influencers to instantly share reviews resulting in skyrocketing demand almost overnight. MRP’s speed and agility can help you capitalize on the latest social trends delivering custom packaging solutions quickly and efficiently.
The Lipstick Effect
The Lipstick Effect occurs when consumers continue to spend on small luxury items during times of economic stress. Big-ticket items are likely to be avoided but consumers retain the desire for smaller items such as premium lipstick. MRP’s custom-lite offerings can help achieve a premium look for your brand while providing extremely competitive prices.
For the Aging Population
The global population of women aged 50+ will grow to over 1 billion in the next 15 years, driving demand for age-specific, anti-aging and restorative products*. Packaging that is easy to hold, open and close is essential for older adults and MRP has the packaging solutions and expertise to accommodate this demographic.

CUSTOMLITE:CUSTOMIZATION WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FULL MOLD BUILD
Colors: We Mold the Rainbow
Use color to set your packaging apart, catch the consumer’s eye, draw attention to packaging, build and identify a brand, or distinguish flavor or variety within a brand.
Molded-In Decoration
Tooling inserts for stock products can include: changing the entire outer surface of closure, adding unique grips, textures, shapes, embossing or debossing. This enables you to customize a closure to seal most any product on most any container, providing protection and ensuring product freshness.
Stamped or Printed Decoration
Tipping and Hot-Stamping can make your logo jump off the shelf while offset printing, highlighting and screen printing can add decorative color to your closure or jar and make it more appealing to the eye.
