Producing the same products can now cost companies more in order to address these challenges and then companies have to consider how to get their products on the market in the midst of a changing consumer landscape. Packaging and distribution is a huge part of manufacturing and production for any industry. Getting your goods to your destination, whether shipping e-commerce and delivering directly to consumers or stocking shelves at big box stores, might take a little more planning than before.
Businesses are looking to address these challenges with packaging trends for 2022 such as:
- Contract packaging companies
- Automated packaging processes
- Transparent packaging
- Packaging designed for e-commerce as well as stock shelves
Contract Packaging

Whether due to a short staff or short supply, companies are restructuring and focusing on their core or niche manufacturing and how to stay profitable.

Transparent Packaging
Transparent packaging is a new trend that is becoming popular with consumers. Transparent, flexible pouches that feature a window give consumers a chance to see what is inside without opening the package. Transparent flexible packaging can be used in many different industries like the food industry for example to package baked goods including rolls and bread. Polybags are nice to protect magazines, mailers, and products like pillows and bedding. Whatever companies are selling, transparent packaging is a popular trend that is here to stay.
