The supermarket will be introducing new yellow promotional packaging online from August 4, to hundreds of everyday products, such as Innocent Orange Juice, Pampers Nappies and Soreen Malt Loaf.
The move, which was also launched in shops a few days ago, forms part of Morrisons' commitment to raise £15 million for Marie Curie by October 2027.

For every promotional 'Every Pack Gives Back' product sold, the brand will donate a percentage of the sale price to Marie Curie.
Additionally, specific products such as Morrisons food-to-go sandwiches, London Essence Indian Tonic Water and MOJU Ginger Vitality Dosing Bottle Shots will feature a special 'Every Pack Gives Back' design.
This will help customers easily identify the items that will make a 'positive difference' to those in need of end-of-life care in their local communities.
A selection of products from the range can also be found in the supermarket's Seasonal Aisle from August 4.
Meanwhile, Morrisons recently turned one in four supermarket features yellow to raise awareness of the fact that a quarter of people in the UK die without receiving the end-of-life care they need.
Those shopping in person at the supermarket might have noticed brightly coloured baskets, trolleys, café chairs and even car parking spaces in daffodil yellow, as part of the Marie Curie 'Every Pack Gives Back' initiative.
David Scott, corporate affairs director at Morrisons, commented: 'We want to shine a light on the importance of end of life care and so turning one in four of our baskets, trolleys, café chairs and even car parking spaces yellow is a simple but powerful way to start a national conversation about something that affects us all.
'In the coming weeks, Morrisons customers can help raise vital money for Marie Curie by buying a promotional 'Every Pack Gives Back' - the brand will then donate a percentage of the sale price to the charity.'
Elsewhere, Morrisons shoppers have recently been sharing their bemusement after noticing a new addition in stores.
Taking to social media, customers noticed posters confirming some supermarkets now had 'cleaning robots'.
The large blue machines roam around stores and are "programmed to keep a safe distance" while people shop.
However, some shoppers have been left confused by the technology, with one Morrisons customer asking, "Who signed this off?"
Taking to the Reddit page r/Morrisons, one customer of the supermarket shared the poster explaining the new robots, which quickly gained a response from fellow shoppers.
The poster read: "Shinnier floors.
"Our new cleaning robot is programmed to keep a safe distance while you shop.
"If you have any questions, please ask a member of our team."
Some suggested that the robot would be taking jobs away, as one wrote: "Personally, just see a human losing their job..."

But others suggested that there would be no job loss and it will make stores cleaner: "So many people complaining about taking a job, this is the natural progression of technology, this thing will clean nonstop, the store will probably be tidier and cleaner."
According to MailOnline, the robots use advanced AI and computer vision technology that allows them to make their way around stores.
Morrisons was previously contacted by Newsquest for a comment.
