Why should you choose black and white print on natural cardboard?

How COVID19 changed the packaging industry. Packaging trends of 2020 that are here to stay.

2020 has been quite a year, and some of us might feel relieved it’s already halfway through.  There is hardly any business that hasn’t been forced to go through some changes in 2020, and packaging industry is no exception. 

The recent years brought us a rapid growth of e-commerce and take-away service. 2020 has intensified the process immensely. The COVID19’s lockdowns and social distancing opened up a new era for the packaging industry.

Companies had to learn how to provide their customers with a dining, shopping or self-care experience, without the help of murmur and bricks of the traditional restaurant, store or a beauty salon.They turned into the unboxing experience and customized, branded, aesthetically pleasing packaging. 

Another development that has been shaping the packaging industry for the last few years is the environmental awareness and growing market for organic, sustainable and ethical products. 

Keeping up with the newest trends and adjusting strategy to the rapidly changing market is not always easy. Luckily, some of the trends are stable, and you don’t have to change all the time to catch up with the latest tendencies. Some choices are timeless due to the universal beauty of simplicity. 

When it comes to packaging white, and a black print on a kraft packaging is both timeless and, owing to the current focus on organic and sustainable products, a trendy choice.
