The Packaging People Announces 5 Food Packaging Trends to Be Aware Of
Food packaging is undergoing significant changes due to shifting consumer preferences and regulatory standards. Once viewed as purely functional, packaging now plays a critical role in product perception, brand values and sustainability, leading to key trends influencing the way food packaging is designed and delivered.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, May 19, 2025 -- Sustainable food packaging has shifted from a point of differentiation to an operational necessity. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environment, pushing brands to use eco-friendly materials and production methods. Packaging made from recycled, compostable, or biodegradable materials is quickly becoming standard across many food products. This shift is not only meeting consumer demand but also helping businesses stay ahead of tightening compliance requirements. Compostable boxes, recyclable cylinders, and eco-conscious liners are replacing traditional packaging alternatives to conventional formats, allowing businesses to reduce their footprint without compromising on quality or performance.
The focus on sustainability is also shaping the visual design of packaging. Minimalist food packaging is gaining momentum, driven by both practical and strategic considerations. Businesses are opting for clean, understated designs that emphasise clarity and sophistication, using natural textures and refined typography rather than heavy graphics or complex layouts. Beyond aesthetics, minimalist packaging also offers cost savings and reduces waste, aligning seamlessly with broader environmental goals.
As design continues to change, the technical demands placed on packaging remain high. With more consumers shopping online and getting items delivered directly, food packaging must be strong enough to be durable enough to protect contents across a range of storage and transport conditions. Sturdy, food-grade materials that retain freshness, prevent damage, and look appealing on store shelves. Options like food packaging boxes, bags, tins, and pouches are chosen not only for their durability but also because they help maintain clear and recognisable branding.
In the food service sector, convenience continues to shape packaging development. Consumers are seeking packaging that is portable, easy to use, and suited to fast-paced routines. Businesses are responding with solutions that combine practicality with design—leak-proof containers, heat-retentive materials, and easy-grip formats that improve user experience. When these features are paired with eco-friendly materials, they help brands stand out in a saturated food-to-go market while supporting customer loyalty through functionality.
Personalisation is playing a big role in today's food packaging. Custom food packaging and tailored messages are being used to create a stronger connection with consumers, offering a sense of exclusivity and care.
Thanks to new digital printing technology, businesses can now easily and cheaply experiment with unique packaging concepts at lower volumes and with shorter lead times. This flexibility enables businesses to introduce seasonal designs, campaign-specific visuals, or product-specific variations without committing to large production runs.
In response to these evolving demands, food packaging suppliers in Australia, such as The Packaging People, have curated a diverse range of packaging solutions that reflect the industry's changing landscape.

Firms' Less ‘Catastrophic' Outlook Kept Canada Rates on Hold
Businesses believing that the worst-case tariff scenarios were less likely to become reality helped convince Bank of Canada policymakers to stay on the sidelines this month. That's according to Deputy Governor Sharon Kozicki in a speech the day after officials held their key interest rate steady at 2.75% for a second straight meeting. In her prepared remarks, Kozicki highlighted how on-the-ground discussions and surveys supplemented traditional data sets, giving policymakers a more comprehensive picture of the economy when deliberating rate decisions.

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman join Australia SailGP team as co-owners
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman become co-owners of the Australia SailGP team on Thursday. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' stars joined driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the team's rebrand after several successful seasons, winning three championships in its four seasons. The team will be called the BONDS Flying Roos, with the Australian underwear company BONDS as its title partner. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' Reynolds and Jackman said in a joint statement released through SailGP. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' It's the latest sports venture for Reynolds, who along with fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney is a co-owner of Wrexham, one of the world's oldest soccer clubs. Reynolds and McElhenney were also part of an investment group that acquired Colombian club La Equidad earlier this year. The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team is expected to make its debut at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix starting June 7. Slingsby, an Olympic gold medalist, said in a release that Jackman and Reynolds bring 'unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of (humor) that fits perfectly with our team.' 'With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos,' Slingsby added, 'we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.' ___ AP sports:

U.S. Trade Deficit Shrinks as Companies Slow Down Their Front-Loading
The U.S. trade deficit collapsed in April, as tariffs took a huge bite out of imports. The trade deficit narrowed to a seasonally adjusted $61.6 billion in April, the Commerce Department reported on Thursday, its lowest level since September 2023. That was down sharply from the record $138.3 billion it hit in March, when businesses were racing to bring in imports before the 'Liberation Day' tariffs that President Trump imposed April 2.
