Latest Display Packaging Market Trends (2026)
Industry consolidation
Smurfit Kappa and WestRock combined to form Smurfit Westrock in 2024, and International Paper completed its acquisition of DS Smith in early 2025. The largest corrugated suppliers now offer display and retail-ready packaging across North America and Europe at greater scale.
Plastic-free and recyclable displays
Brands are replacing plastic trays, hooks and inserts with all-paper and corrugated designs so displays can be recycled in one stream. The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, which applies from August 2026, is accelerating this shift.
Retail-ready and shelf-ready packaging
Retailers want cases that open and go straight onto the shelf, saving labor and improving product visibility. Shelf-ready trays and cartons are becoming standard in grocery and discount retail.
Digital printing and short runs
Digital printing on corrugated and paperboard allows short, seasonal and localized display runs, personalized graphics and faster campaign changes.
Club stores and pallet displays
Growth of warehouse clubs and discount chains is boosting demand for full pallet and half pallet displays that move from the factory to the sales floor without repacking.
Connected and interactive displays
QR codes, NFC tags and simple digital screens are being added to displays to connect shoppers to content, offers and product information.
