Unpacking the food and beverage industry
When we look at food and beverage products and their packaging, how much does each influence the other? Take a look at our Food for thought series roundup for our key takeaways.
Packaging the future
With health and wellness and sustainability continuing to have a major influence on the food and beverage industry, how are manufacturers addressing consumer demand for products with added functionality? And, with factors like convenience and shelf life also playing into these trends, what role can packaging suppliers like SIG play?
Big considerations for tiny tummies
Since being introduced to the world roughly 100 years ago, commercial baby food has gone through quite a transformation. Today, with manufacturers determined to meet the demands of both parents and babies, how are factors like texture, taste and nutritional value having an impact on both product development and food and beverage packaging?
What lies behind shelf-stable success?
What are the main benefits of packaged food, and what do manufacturers need to consider for their products to stand out? For packaged food and beverage products to be a hit with consumers, manufacturers must focus on packaging that will retain flavor and preserve food value – in terms of nutrients – while meeting demand for convenience and sustainability.
Packaging the plant-based market
The plant-based food and beverage market keeps growing, with manufacturers constantly working on new and exciting products like plant-based “smoked salmon”, and even “foie gras”. As the industry continues to push boundaries in terms of innovation, how much of a role does packaging play in what we’re seeing appear in grocery stores?
The leaders of the pack
Between aseptic carton packs, spouted pouches and every other type of food and beverage packaging in use today, consumers are becoming more aware of the value and role of packaging. With that in mind, which formats stand out when it comes to meeting both manufacturer and consumer demand for convenience, sustainability and cost efficiency?
