The consumer movement and preference toward online shopping is showing no sign of slowing down, which is a clear influence behind these compact packaging ideas that are all shipping-friendly.
The modern economy requires goods to be as light and compact as possible to ensure a smooth shipping process to retail locations or to consumers. As such, the incorporation of accordion-style designs and packaging that uses the nuances of a product's shape in order to cut down on heavyweight materials are going to be the frontrunner when it comes to compact packaging going forward.
Aside from these compact packaging ideas being functional, they're also beautiful; the incorporation of innovative ideas that decrease weight and highlight simplicity don't skimp on whimsy, as many consumers shop heavy according to external product aesthetic.
