Have you ever wondered why the coffee aisle at your supermarket smells so good? The aroma of roasted coffee can be strong as you pass by the bags on the shelves, but why can you smell them at all? Shouldn’t the coffee be sealed up tight to keep it fresh?
As we race towards the New Year, now is the time that we start to consider what innovations the next 12 months will bring. With how fast everything has been changing in the past year it can be difficult to keep up with the rapidly moving trends, but there are a few items of consideration that Eagle Flexible Packaging has taken note of.
Flexible packaging is convenient and beneficial in many formats, and across various industries, as shown in the new pouch packaging study released by the Freedonia Group. But one of the fastest growing segments is small pouch packaging—particularly in candy and healthy snack foods. Nuts, dried fruits, and other snackable items
Soaps and detergents have long been delivered in rigid packaging, as if only hard plastics could contain the fancy liquids and gels that make water “wetter.” But there is a better way (for so many reasons): flexible packaging. Nothing makes a consumer more aware of how unwieldy traditional soap packaging is than
The natural product market is booming thanks to consumer demand for healthier food and personal care options, as well as for a variety of supplements to support a healthier lifestyle and physical fitness. Protein powders, vitamins, probiotics, pre- and post-workout supplements, and more have driven a multi-billion-dollar industry worldwide. To
Candy brings a smile to the face, and satisfaction to the sweet tooth—and so much more to the American economy. Even with increased interest in healthy eating and living, and consumers cutting back on sugar, candy and confections are a special treat that add a touch of celebration to parties,
Home cooks have long filled pantries with various spice staples (and the occasional exotic seasoning) to give their meals the taste and zip that satisfied their families’ bellies. In many homes (and restaurants, for that matter), the flavors of yesteryear were simpler and milder. But today’s cooks—from the home kitchen
The days of excessive and wasteful plastics are numbered in a number of countries: Scotland, Costa Rica, Taiwan, and even the entire EU will ban plastic drinking straws, beverage cups, shopping bags, and other items between 2019 and 2030. Never before has the consumer (and social) cry been louder to reduce such plastic waste that
It seems like everyone is on the diet bandwagon these days… especially at the start of every new year. But it’s not fad dieting that reigns supreme any more. In fact, healthy lifestyle eating is the new—lifetime sustainable—trend that has health-conscious consumers changing their eating habits with “forever” in mind. It’s no surprise, then,
January is famous for fitness resolutions and a sudden jump in gym memberships. The start of the new year is a natural time to “start fresh” in healthy living. For anyone jumping on the fitness bandwagon with their New Year’s resolutions, one staple they’ll be encouraged to add to their
A number of the growing trends in food quality and packaging are migrating into another industry near and dear to many consumers’ hearts: pet food. The more we know, the more concerned we are about what we put into our bodies, and how responsibly we dispose of what isn’t consumed.
Flexible packaging stands out today as an effective choice for many manufacturers—not just as yet another product delivery option, but a boost to brand value. Branding goes well beyond your logo, but includes all the messaging and symbolism that represents your product (and services). How can your choice of packaging—especially
For any car enthusiast or DIYer tasked with changing the oil in the family vehicle, the classic quart-size plastic motor oil bottle is a familiar sight (as you pick up 5 or more of them every few months). If you’re a professional mechanic, you can’t even count how many of
Now that the holiday season is upon us and we look forward to the new year, brands are beginning to reconsider how they present their products on store shelves. Whether it’s an upgrade to the package design, improved options to cut back on costs, or just a slimmer package, companies
Flexible packaging serves a wide range of markets and industries. Both food and non-food products benefit greatly from the versatility flexible pouches provide, no matter how specific a product’s requirements are. While these preformed pouches are commonly used in markets like coffee packaging, snack food packaging and pet food packaging, they also add value
Aseptic packaging is a specialized manufacturing process in which food, pharmaceutical, or other contents are sterilized separately from packaging. The contents are then inserted into the container in a sterile environment. This method uses extremely high temperatures to maintain the freshness of the contents while also ensuring that it’s not
According to research conducted by Feeding America, about 72 billion pounds of food goes to waste throughout the production cycle and about 21% of this waste ends up at the landfill. No matter where you align yourself politically, food waste is a serious issue that affects our environment every single
If you’ve been involved with the food industry over the last 10-20 years, then you’re probably used to seeing new trends come and go in the blink of an eye. For packaging strategists, staying current with these trends and making adjustments to brand, strategy and marketing outlook are just a
From frozen food packaging to various yogurt and snack food packaging, open and closure systems play a very important role in providing consumers with accessible, user-friendly food products that are easy to open and easy to close or reseal after use.
