The growing obsession with convenience and cleanliness is driving demand for packaging features that enable efficient and hygienic product use. Based on recent analysis from GlobalData, we examine how consumers’ preference for new experiences over new products will drive technology growth in packaging.

Also in this issue, we find out more about an unusual pack design for fortune cookies that uses dark humour to put a “brutally honest and pessimistic” spin on a traditionally sweet offering, and consider how a plastic bottle format with an internal dosing closure, currently used for a laundry care product, could cross over into other categories.

We also take a look at a single-use shaving cream pack that dissolves when it makes contact with water, and explore how new packaging innovations can enhance the appeal of baby care products for both infants and adults.
