Your consumer&#8217;s lifestyle should always be taken into account when designing a package.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost anyone can ship an item in a boring brown box, but it doesn&#8217;t really stand out as an experience to the buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One survey found that up to 51% of consumers thought a product was more valuable if it came in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tricorbraun.com\/what-were-about\/tricorbraun-university\/white-papers\/10-ecomm-trends-white-paper\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uniquely printed or customized packaging<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Sustainable packaging is more important to American consumers than it was 5 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementing sustainable packaging is not a vanity thing. Up to 40% of plastic pollution is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenamerica.org\/blog\/sustainable-packaging-movement\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the packaging industry&#8217;s fault<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
