As the tobacco industry evolves toward reduced-risk products (RRPs), Parkside is urging manufacturers to rethink traditional packaging formats. Highlighting sustainability, convenience, and performance, the company says flexible packaging—especially high-barrier pouches and flow wraps—is the next step for modern nicotine delivery.
“Next-generation products demand next-generation packaging,” said Laura Haggerty, Sales Account Manager, Tobacco at Parkside. Rigid jars and boxes, she explained, are increasingly misaligned with the needs of nicotine pouches, heated tobacco, and CBD formats, as well as shifting consumer expectations.
Parkside offers recyclable, compostable, and mono-material solutions, enabling brands to lower their environmental impact while improving product protection and portability.
“Flexible packaging is the next logical step for brands looking to future-proof their products,” Haggerty said.
