Confectionery

The confectionery industry is at the front of intensifying pressures to revolutionise packaging to satisfy both changing consumer demands and new legislation.

With so many legislative changes being introduced - such as plastic and sugar taxes - and the immense pressure for sustainable, recyclable packaging, the industry has a great number of challenges to contend with.

The EU’s Plastics Strategy requires all packaging to be recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030, while its recently introduced plastics tax imposes a €0.80/kg (US$0.97/kg) levy on non-recycled plastic packaging waste.

Likewise, the UK is proposing a £200 (US$264) per ton tax rate for plastic packaging with less than 30 percent recycled content, effective from April 2022.

The confectionery industry, like others, is facing the rising cost of packaging and the increased cost of food which means that packaging must work harder to add brand and consumer value whilst maintaining food safety.

This, in conjunction with adapting and redesigning packaging for more sustainable means, requires major overhauls of processes, formats, and capital expenditure requirements in new improved equipment and processes that can add value to all the aforementioned.

Adding Value.

At FORDS, we understand that investing in packaging redesign is no small task.

Packaging needs to add value to the overall product and connect in a meaningful way with consumers and retailers in order to drive sales and pay off the investment. However, this cannot come at the cost of the consumer's basic needs.

The key packaging drivers within in this sector typically include extending shelf life, reducing the economic loss of food waste and standing out on the shelves with unique visual appeal.

Our foil closures seal to any container shape allowing your brand to express its creativity and attract the eyes of consumers - all whilst providing the ultimate peace of mind by ensuring germs and pollutants are locked out of sealed products.

Acting as an airtight barrier against moisture, light and oxygen, FORDS closures are tried and trusted by many of the world’s biggest brands to prevent both microbial and chemical food spoilage thereby extending shelf life and reducing wastage.
