There has been a large uptick in e-commerce. The overall percentage of E-commerce retail sales are perhaps surprisingly small— 9 percent of sales in the US and 17 percent in the UK— but with sustained growth. If brands don’t have E-commerce optimized packaging, they are missing a huge opportunity.
People are now purchasing their everyday items online, so buying something online besides your routine staples adds a whole new level of consumer expectations. E-Commerce packaging also gives brands a new environment to experiment and innovate: the consumer’s homes and social feeds. Companies like Packlane are enabling startups and challenger brands to create fully branded e-commerce packaging on-demand.

Purina Beyond
Purina Beyond wanted to leverage the trend in online shopping for everyday goods by creating a unique packaging experience for their customers that would differentiate from the Purina products you can buy at any brick and mortar grocery store. Using frustration-free packaging, “The resulting design is elegant and sophisticated, free from the traditional pack messaging that’s needed on shelf.”
