Energy Drink Packaging Trends For 2011

Energy Drink PackagingWhile cost and environmental factors continue to play a significant role in the drink packaging industry, it appears that pre-recession packaging trends might be starting to re-surface as consumers are starting to gain more disposable income.

Pre-Recession Drink Packaging Trends

Prior to the recession, long term economic, demographic and consumer-led trends had more of an influence on drink packaging trends. As the world gradually moves out of the global economic crisis, there are indications that drink packaging trends will revert back to pre-recession times which included the increased use of:

  • added value and convenience features as the key drivers
  • more sophisticated packaging materials
  • smaller, portable or travel-friendly packs
  • more elaborate shapes, designs and print

Drink Packaging Trends during the Recession

During the past two years, the focus of drink packaging shifted, mainly due to cost-related factors. The global economic crisis led to decreased consumer spending, forcing manufacturers to find innovative ways to cut down on product costs. Volatility of packaging material costs, along with harder to access capital investments, slowed down or completely overturned the beverage packaging trends that existed prior to the recession.

The goal of drink packaging design during the recession was to achieve the same or lower pricing without the loss of functionality and quality. As a result, the emphasis of drink packaging design trends was mainly focused on:

  • materials reduction
  • light-weighting and improvements in line efficiency
  • filling techniques
  • cost-effectiveness

Popular Drink Packaging Trends in 2010

The focus on cost and cost-related factors introduced changes in the global picture of drink packaging trends. Some of these changes included:

  • PET packaging with refillable PET particularly popular for carbonated and packaged water.
  • Hot-fill PET packaging for hot fill juices and nectars.
  • More use of biodegradable plastics.
  • Shift in the use of heavy, rigid containers to lighter weight, flexible packaging and pouches.
  • Increased measures to save on material costs.
  • More focus on environmental concerns with a shift in focus towards carbon emission and total environmental impact of product and pack.

Re-Surfacing of Pre-Recession Drink Packaging Trends

The global economic downturn resulted in enormous competition at the retail level. Initially, discount retailers benefited the most by taking market share away from the supermarkets as consumers increasingly chose to spend less money without sacrificing quality. In response, many supermarkets produced their own line of private label products to compete with discount retailers. While the explosion in private labeling added increased revenue to supermarket sales, there was still pressure to keep product and packaging prices low. But, according to Canadean (a beverage industry information specialist based in the U.K.), there appears to be early signs of a return to drink packaging design trends that feature added value and convenience. 1 It is important for energy drinks manufacturers to consider this possible shift in packaging trends since packaging is vital to a successful product.

Popular Products to Manufacture in Drink Form

Packaging will continue to play a strategic role in the success of a product, enhancing brand image in the marketplace. When choosing an energy drinks manufacturer, it's important to hire one with in-house graphic designers who are knowledgeable about the latest energy drink packaging trends. But even attractive packaging is not enough. You need a contract manufacturer who can assure you of a high quality formulation that is manufactured within a GMP-certified facility.

Sanjay Sood, associate professor of marketing at UCLA's Anderson School of Management said, "Packaging may provide consumers with some sort of interest or incentive that can help get customers to try it, but for repeat buys, that's where the product will live or die on its own." At Nutricap Labs, our aim is to meet and even exceed your expectations for high-quality products.

Contract Manufacturing Nutritional Supplements Testimonial

— Rebecca C. Victoria, TX

As an owner of a health club, many of my customers told me that they had spent hundreds of dollars on Acai products that just didn't seem to work for them. It was shortly thereafter that I decided to manufacture my own Acai product. The sales advisors at Nutricap Labs assured me that their unique freeze-drying technology would guarantee me a first-rate Acai product. Well, they were absolutely correct! I began selling my product in my store a few months ago and my customers began noticing results almost immediately. I absolutely recommend Nutricap Labs to anyone looking for a quality Acai manufacturer.

Marketing Solutions Testimonial

— D. Margolis Piscataway, NJ

I have been using Nutricap Labs for years for my vitamin manufacturing needs. So when my business partner told me that it was time to update our marketing literature, I knew that there was only one company that knew my product as well as I did. Nutricap's design team worked with us every step of the way to create our marketing pamphlets and brochures. We recently unveiled our new marketing materials at a recent trade show and the feedback we received was tremendous!

Marketing Solutions Testimonial

— Anthony P.
Staten Island, NY

My company started working with Nutricap Labs roughly 3 years ago after our previous bodybuilding manufacturer went under. In celebration of our 10 year anniversary, we decided to send out direct mail post cards to our customers announcing a discount on all of our products. While I knew Nutricap was great at manufacturing my product, I have to admit I was a little tentative about using them to create the design for our post cards. Well, my doubt was put to rest almost immediately. They came up with a design concept that absolutely blew me away. The anniversary campaign ended up being a huge success and I attribute a lot of that to Nutricap Labs' marketing team.

Marketing Solutions Testimonial

— Lewis S.
Nashville, TN

As an individual that was new to the supplement manufacturing industry, I needed a company that could handle it all; manufacturing, packaging and a marketing team to help me design my company logo. However, every manufacturer that I spoke with told me that they needed to go through multiple channels in order to get everything done for me. All this would have done was delay the launch of my product. I nearly lost all hope until I found Nutricap Labs. They were the only company that could handle it all without sourcing all of my projects out. Not only was I satisfied with the product they created for me, but the logo design they came up with was eye-catching and sharp. If you're searching for the "needle in the haystack" like I was, look no further than the team at Nutricap!

They were able to duplicate our existing product line and they were able to help our company expand by working with us to create several new products. Nutricap Labs has been able to accomplish all this with better customer service than I have ever received and turn around times that allow us to maintain inventory effectively. They truly are full service and they take all the headaches out of ordering product."

Contract Manufacturing Testimonial

— Rebecca C. Victoria, TX

As an owner of a health club, many of my customers told me that they had spent hundreds of dollars on Acai products that just didn't seem to work for them. It was shortly thereafter that I decided to manufacture my own Acai product. The sales advisors at Nutricap Labs assured me that their unique freeze-drying technology would guarantee me a first-rate Acai product. Well, they were absolutely correct! I began selling my product in my store a few months ago and my customers began noticing results almost immediately. I absolutely recommend Nutricap Labs to anyone looking for a quality Acai manufacturer.

Order Fulfillment Testimonial

- C. Davis

"We've dealt with a variety of fulfillment service companies over the past two years and have had mixed results. Since dealing with Nutricap Labs, however, our general operations have been running smoothly. Their hands on approach to customer service and their attention to detail is something that was immediately noticeable when we began with their services. Due to their professional handling of all our shipping and fulfillment services, we are able to focus on our core competencies and our customers. In addition, we've seen an increase in sales volume over 250% in the past quarter alone."

Order Fulfillment Testimonial

— Rick A. Greensboro, NC

For years, I had handled my company's order fulfillment services. But when my business started to take off, I knew that I needed to devote more time to expanding my business and less time fulfilling orders. Since Nutricap Labs was already handling the manufacturing of my product, I asked them to begin fulfilling my orders as well. I have made many decisions during my professional career and I can say without hesitation that this change was definitely one of the smartest business moves I have ever made.

Order Fulfillment Testimonial

— Carlos T. Scarborough, ME

I have worked with several fulfillment companies over the years and for some reason, we always had issues getting the results we desired. At times, it felt like I was spending more time helping them than they were helping me! I then turned to Nutricap Labs to handle our manufacturing, packaging and fulfillment needs. Almost immediately after hiring Nutricap, I noticed a vast improvement in the operations of my company... and even the quality of my product! I can definitely understand why Nutricap prides itself on being the premier full service nutraceutical company in the industry.

Softgel Manufacturer Testimonial

— Beth F.
Joliet, IL

I was looking for a softgel manufacturer that could not only create a quality product for me, but could get it produced in the shortest amount of time possible. Nutricap Labs' ability to produce a quote for me in 24 hours literally shaved weeks off of the entire manufacturing process. While I am convinced that it would have taken any other softgel manufacturer months to get this project completed, Nutricap was able to get it done in roughly 3 weeks. By the following week, I was able to begin selling my product.

All Natural Vitamins & Supplements Testimonial

— Kelly and Sean Loveland, OH

Because our product line caters to health-conscious consumers, we had to make sure that the manufacturer we selected used only the finest all natural ingredients. Failing to do this would surely spell doom for our company before we even got out of the gate. Our Nutricap Labs product advisor explained the criteria for how ingredients are selected for all natural vitamins and supplements and how our product would be manufactured. We feel completely at ease knowing that our manufacturing needs are in the very capable hands of Nutricap Labs.

Vitamins Jars Testimonial

— Timothy D. Sedona, AZ

Being that I've been in the nutraceutical industry for more than 25 years, my experience has taught me one of the most overlooked elements in creating a product line is the packaging that is used. While you may have the greatest product ever to hit the industry, it means nothing if your product doesn't arrive at its final destination in the same condition that it left the factory and if your customers don't like the way it looks and feels in their hands. For these reasons, I 100% rely on Nutricap Labs' packaging solutions. I have used a number of their packaging options (jars, blister packs, bottles and cartons) in the past and all of my products arrive safely every time. More importantly, my customers know that my products will stay fresh and will be easy to access as long as I'm using packaging solutions from Nutricap Labs.

Storage Capabilities Testimonial

— M. Detrone Monroe, NY

"One of the prerequisites I had when I was selecting a new vitamin manufacturer was whether or not they had a warehouse facility so I could store my products on-site. Although I found several manufacturers that had storage capabilities, Nutricap Labs stood out from the rest because of their ability to not only store my products, but they could also handle my drop shipping and order fulfillment needs. This enabled me to devote more time to growing my business and maximize my revenue."
