Three recent redesigns: paper liners, fibre runners, mono-PE
Three recent packs changed material, weight or format to cut waste: a paper-fibre cold chain liner, a fibre runner replacing wood in air cargo, and a mono-PE brush applicator.
Inspiration
Real packaging redesigns that cut waste, and the lessons behind them.
Four recent material redesigns and what designers can learn
A paper mailer, a foil-free film, a starch barrier and non-wood moulded fibre: what changed in each, the reported results, the trade-offs and the lessons.
Three 2026 redesigns: fiber trays, metal reuse, lighter PET
A dry-formed fiber tray, a stainless-steel reuse scheme in Hawaii and a lighter PET spirits range show three distinct routes to better packaging.
Four recent packaging redesigns that cut material without losing performance
Four real packaging launches from the past weeks show how fibre trays, recycling-ready adhesives, feather insulation and reusable containers are replacing plastic and foam.
Four packaging redesigns that actually cut material, this month
Four recent launches, from a graphene-enhanced mailing film to a paperboard spirits bottle, show how material substitution and mono-material design deliver measurable gains.
Three packaging redesigns worth a closer look this month
A paper straw, a reuse return bin and a mono-PP blister show three different routes to better packaging: swap a part, fix the system, or simplify the stack.
Four packaging redesigns that actually shipped this autumn
A monomaterial flatbread pack, a linerless fruit lid, a recycled-fibre board that still prints like virgin stock, and reusable eye patches: what changed and why.
Three packaging redesigns that show what progress looks like
A paper ice cream wrap, a graphene-boosted recycled film, and a refillable aluminium bottle. What changed, why it works, and the trade-offs designers should weigh.
Four real packaging redesigns worth studying this month
Lightweighted wine glass, a recyclable flatbread tray, plastic-free coffee pods and a reusable pod system show four distinct routes to lower-impact packaging, each with real trade-offs.
