The start of a new year is the perfect time to reset — not just your goals, but your packaging.

A refreshed product display can help re-engage returning customers, launch a new range, or signal a shift toward more sustainable practices. And for Australian brands, clear plastic packaging offers flexibility, visibility, and modern appeal that supports retail performance.

Here’s how to update your packaging strategy in 2026.

Why Refresh Your Packaging in the New Year?

Consumer expectations evolve quickly — and your packaging is often their first impression.

A packaging refresh can:

  • Reinforce your brand positioning
  • Improve sustainability credentials
  • Boost shelf presence and recognition
  • Make older products feel new again

Even small changes — like new finishes, clearer messaging, or updated shapes — can have a big impact.

Easy Ways to Refresh Your Packaging in 2026

  • Update clear packaging with foil or embossed details
  • Use RPET to highlight sustainability
  • Align design with new product launches or brand campaigns

A fresh look can re-engage customers and boost shelf appeal.

Embrace Clear Packaging for Instant Visibility

PET and RPET packaging offers:

  • Transparency – Let customers see what they’re buying
  • Clean lines – Great for minimalist, modern branding
  • Custom shapes – Folding boxes, cylinders, and trays that suit your product line

Clear packaging removes barriers between product and consumer — ideal for food, cosmetics, gifts, and more.

Align with Sustainability Goals

Sustainability is no longer a bonus — it’s expected.

Use the new year to:

  • Switch from PVC to recyclable PET or RPET
  • Simplify your materials (mono-material packaging = easier recycling)
  • Add clear recycling instructions or the ARL label
