Sustainability and Innovation as Future Trends in Industrial Packaging
Leading companies within the industrial packaging market are increasingly prioritizing sustainable packaging solutions to maintain competitiveness and respond to environmental concerns. Sustainable packaging involves using eco-friendly materials, innovative design practices, and processes that reduce the environmental footprint across the entire lifecycle of packaging. For example, in September 2024, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG from Germany partnered with Solenis, a US specialty-chemicals company, to introduce an affordable process for embedding eco-friendly barrier coatings directly into the flexographic printing of fiber-based packaging.

This innovative approach allows packaging producers to apply water-based barrier coatings during printing, replacing traditional plastic laminations or paraffin wax layers. These coatings offer robust resistance to water, vapor, oils, fats, and liquids at various temperatures, making them suitable for food and beverage packaging, e-commerce corrugated boxes, flexible packaging, cupstock, and other industrial packaging uses. The inline application on Heidelberger's Boardmaster flexographic web press ensures scalability and cost efficiency, which simplifies recycling and supports circular economy initiatives by reducing plastic dependency.
