Sustainability becomes table stakes

Sustainability is no longer optional. Brands are switching from multi-layer, hard-to-recycle laminates and mixed materials to mono-material solutions, recyclable paperboard, compostable films and paper tubes for chocolate tubs. Major players (including Nestlé and others) have been publicly trialing paper tubs and recyclable wrappers to cut virgin plastic use—moves that are emblematic of broader industry pressure to meet consumer and regulatory expectations. 

Smart & interactive packaging

QR codes, NFC tags, and simple freshness/temperature indicators are moving from novelty toward practical use, particularly for premium and e-commerce confectionery packaging that benefits from storytelling (provenance, ingredients) and traceability. Smart packaging enhances consumer trust through transparency and opens direct marketing channels—useful for loyalty programmes and limited editions.

Premiumization & experiential design

Premium confectionery is increasingly a gift experience — packaging is designed to be unboxed, kept and reused (luxury tins, rigid boxes, textile inlays). Texture, foiling and die-cuts contribute to perceived value. Minimalist and “dopaminergic” color palettes, tactile finishes and bespoke shapes are common strategies to stand out in a crowded category. 

Functional formats: flexible, portion control, on-the-go

Single-serve pouches, resealable bags, and portioned flow-wraps target convenience and hygiene. For sugar-reduced or functional confectionery, portion control packaging supports nutritional claims and helps retailers manage shrinkage. Flexible packaging remains cost-effective and efficient for logistics while innovations in recyclable multilayer films are emerging.

Regulatory and policy drivers

Legislation (e.g., recyclable/compostable mandates in various jurisdictions) and retailer targets push major brands to adopt clear recyclability roadmaps. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) initiatives also influence material choices and packaging takeback programmes.

Actionable takeaway: prioritize sustainability and traceability in short-term innovation roadmaps; pair premium aesthetics with materials that meet recyclability guidance.
