Let’s dive in and see what the future holds for confectionery packaging in the coming year.
Sweet Treats, Sweeter Packaging: How Confectionery is Going Green
As the world becomes more aware of the impact our actions have on the environment, such as the increasing plastic product waste per person, it’s no surprise that sustainability is a top trend in shaping confectionery packaging in 2023. About 86% of Americans saying they’re more likely to buy products with eco-friendly packaging. Brands are now taking notice and making changes to reduce their carbon footprint.
One way they’re doing this is by using biodegradable plant-based plastics. They offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Moreover, we’re also seeing an increase in recycled and recycled content materials. As well as reusable or refillable packaging options like tins and bags.
Not only are these options better for the planet, but they can also be more cost-effective for businesses in the long run. So go ahead and indulge in your sweet cravings, guilt-free knowing that even the packaging of your treats is making a positive impact on the environment!
The Rise of Wellness-Focused Confectionery Packaging
In addition to sustainability, well-being is another key trend shaping confectionery packaging in 2023. Consumers become more health-conscious and prioritize wellness in their daily lives. Therefore, we’re seeing a rise in well-being-focused confectionery packaging.
Brands are offering smaller portion sizes and using more natural ingredients in their products, with packaging that emphasizes the use of organic and fair trade ingredients also on the rise. These healthier options not only appeal to consumers looking to make more mindful choices, but can also reduce the environmental impact of production and packaging.
Companies are increasingly recognizing the benefits of using clean, natural ingredients in their products for both their customers and the planet. Next time you’re indulging in a sweet treat, look for packaging that highlights the use of natural ingredients and organic, fair trade sources. It’s a win-win for both your taste buds and the planet!

From personalizing packaging with special messages or logos, to choosing materials that are easy to ship and keep treats fresh, there are plenty of ways to make gift-giving extra special in 2023.
