As the world still manages through--and begins to emerge from--the great public-health and economic crisis, we expect these shifts to change packaging design in fundamental ways.To prepare for these changes and the move to the next normal, packaging companies are rethinking packaging design beyond "must-haves," such as reasonable costs, convenience, and performance. In essence, there are now working on addressing three major requirements. Frist, a good sustainability narrative; second, design with hygiene in mind, given recent heightened consumer-safety concerns; third is design for e-commerce in a ship-ready and direct-to-consumer model. With the right focus and innovation capabilities, these megatrends and the resulting design modifications could help packaging companies to grow their business significantly.
