11 Produce Packaging Innovations

These produce packaging innovations range from romantic holiday-themed containers to freshness-indicating produce stickers that aim to eliminate food waste.

A notable example of sustainable packaging comes from British supermarket chain Iceland. The retailer's paper grocery bag initiative replaced all of its plastic bags, ensuring more eco-conscious business practices across its locations nation-wide. Chiquita and Snapchat's World Banana Day fruit stickers are another standout that successfully engaged Gen-Z and Millennial social media users. The fruit stickers were powered by AR technology and allowed consumers to unlock exclusive discount codes via an accompanying, promotional app.

Other produce packaging innovations to note include Walmart and IBM's blockchain-powered labeling system which aims to fight for food industry transparency. The partnership was launched in an effort to stop foodbourne illness by closer tracking food origins and shipping patterns while also strengthening ties with farmers and suppliers.
