The Corrugated Packaging Industry for the coming 2021 year…
After some serious investment following growth-prompted industry requests, new market requests and the requirement for overall smarter packaging designs, Express Packaging is continuing to forge ahead within the corrugated packaging industry.
Here’s what you need to know to give your company a competitive edge in this new packaging environment of 2021.
Industry Changes
Many packaging experts predicted a decrease in the demand for corrugated packaging for 2021. However, due to the immense growth of recent services like ecommerce, we are actually seeing the complete opposite. Express Packaging has had to adapt with new machinery to meet the big increases of 2020 and now 2021.
We hope we will be critical to the success of every company requiring packaging in the coming year.
Growth in Corrugated Packaging
Our manufacturing process requirements have inspired the introduction of new and more flexible machinery here at Express Packaging. This new machinery is allowing for more corrugated box options, more flexible designs, much faster production lead times and considerably lower manufacturing costs, despite increases in the price of corrugated board.
Dramatic Ecommerce Increases:
COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased our demand for Ecommerce packaging and the design of new carton shipping solutions. Express Packaging’s Ecommerce sales are expecting continued growth in the next three years, representing a significant return on investment for companies bold enough to cash in on ecommerce growth. This continued Ecommerce growth will drastically affect the demand for corrugated boxes, which already fill over 70 percent of all our Ecommerce needs.
Corrugated Packaging Trends
Growth in corrugated and ecommerce packaging aren’t the only changes facing our manufacturing this year, and beyond. Emerging trends, including sustainable, recyclable, and even aesthetic packaging, continue to push Express Packaging forward.
Sustainable Packaging
The growing shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly packaging options has shored up our fully recycled carton production and many other products in a huge variety of designs. Along with offering huge environmental advantages, sustainable and recyclable packaging can help many companies improve their bottom line, satisfy client demand, and even minimize disposal costs.
Attractive Packaging
If customers are given a choice between two identical products, one attractively packaged, and the other plain, which will consumers defer too? Aesthetics have always been important, but their value is increasing as it becomes more challenging to capture Ecommerce potential customers’ attention. Especially when it comes to visually driven products, like subscription or retail boxes.
It’s also important to allow for the increasing impact of social media interaction.
The retail market and particularly the internet is all about visuals, and brands are competing and transforming every day. These days even secondary packaging has moved into appealing, branded material.
Smarter Equipment, Smarter Packaging
Express Packaging’s current technological advancements are guiding the corrugated packaging industry, we are responding to market changes, and helping evolve packaging trends. Let Express Packaging equip your company to accommodate these evolving packaging demands of 2021.
We are willing to offer outstanding services to your organisation, helping you capture expanding business in your field.
FtoP Cartons
“Fit to product” (FtoP) and “Box on Demand” have become a large component of Express Packaging manufacturing in light of the unique and increased requests of online stores. Allowing for the creation of custom corrugated cartons fitting the exact dimensions of a product, these systems are ideal for oddly shaped products. FtoP and BOD cartons protect products during manufacturing, shipping, and eventual transportation to consumers, but they also reduce the need to maintain many standard, bulky boxes, and multiple types of eco unfriendly, expensive fillers.
Smart Packaging
Express Packaging will be at the forefront of many packaging industry changes this year and beyond. We will be using all of our new technology to easily design, create and deliver exceptional “on time” products.
2021with Confidence

We will be helping all of our clients be ready to face these exciting changes head-on. If you aren’t confident that your current corrugated carton partner.
