Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Review Your Packaging
As the calendar turns and businesses gear up for another year of growth and opportunity, many food producers, caterers and retailers are asking a key question: Have you thought about changing your packaging supplier?
The start of a new year is more than just a fresh date in the diary. It’s a chance to reassess every aspect of your business, including your packaging solutions. With evolving customer expectations, sustainability trends and the need for quality assurance, updating your packaging supplier can bring tangible advantages to your brand in 2026.
Stay Ahead with Innovative Packaging Solutions
Whether you’re producing soups, ready meals, salads or deli products, packaging plays a critical role in product presentation, freshness and safety. At SystemPAK, we specialise in a broad range of food-grade packaging solutions, tailored to a variety of food applications: from tamper-evident containers and top-seal trays to sustainable compostable options.
Here’s how refreshing your packaging approach at the start of the year can benefit your business:
Match Your Packaging to Modern Consumer Expectations
Consumers in 2026 are more conscious than ever about environmental impact, convenience and safety. The right packaging doesn’t just hold your product – it communicates your brand’s values.
SystemPAK’s sustainable options, such as cardboard top-seal trays lined with PLA or compostable materials, offer eco-friendly alternatives for environmentally conscious brands. These solutions are designed to be practical, from oven to freezer, without compromising performance.
Enhance Product Safety and Trust
Food safety remains a top priority for producers and consumers alike. SystemPAK’s tamper-evident containers help provide reassurance that products have not been opened or altered post-manufacture. These containers are:
- Certified to ISO and BRC standards
- Fully recyclable and tamper proof
- Suitable for hot and cold products, freezer conditions and microwave useÂ
These features are especially valuable if your products are distributed through retail or third-party delivery channels.
Improve Functionality for Your Operations
Modern packaging should streamline your workflows, not complicate them. When you work with a supplier like SystemPAK, you get access to packaging that’s designed with practicality in mind.
From freezer-safe containers that withstand sub-zero storage, to microwave-safe formats for customer convenience, choosing the right packaging can make everyday operations smoother and more efficient.
Refresh Your Visual Identity
Packaging is often the first physical interaction a customer has with your brand. Ringing in the new year with updated designs or formats can help you stand out on shelf and inspire confidence in your audience. Whether you’re introducing bold new graphics or switching to more sustainable materials, refreshing your packaging signals that your business is forward-thinking and customer-focused.
