1. The Rise of Paper Packaging in Confectionery
Since 2022, both local and global confectionery brands have been shifting toward paper-based packaging. This growing trend stems from three major factors:
- 🌱 Environmental Consciousness: Paper is recyclable and biodegradable, aligning with global sustainability goals.
- 👩🎓 Changing Consumer Preferences: Younger generations such as Gen Z and Millennials actively seek out eco-friendly products and are willing to pay for green value.
- 🧠 Brand Refresh and Differentiation: Paper packaging offers a rustic and approachable aesthetic that helps products stand out on the shelf.
At AppPrintco, we’ve had the opportunity to work with various confectionery businesses and directly witness this transformation. For these brands, paper is not just a packaging material—it’s part of a broader branding strategy focused on sustainability and emotional engagement.
