The retailer is also planning to reduce the supply chain and material costs and enhance the customer experience by improving on-shelf product availability.
DS Smith strategic account manager Jo Cartwright said: “Our work with Morrisons demonstrates a real partner collaboration to deliver this innovation to meet the supermarket’s relaunch date.
“The new RRP has helped increase sales and, importantly, has addressed a specific market need and meets Morrisons’ circular economy commitment.”
RRP’s design was originally created to be viewed face-on. The design has asymmetrical sides, offering branding visuals in advance of reaching the product.

“We are delighted by the visual impact of the RRP and how it complements the product and primary pack. We believe it will create shelf disruption, encourage sales growth and boost market share.”
