The summer season dramatically changes packaging demands. With takeaway orders peaking, tourism booming, and ice cream queues lengthening, which packaging styles stand out?
Summer is the busiest time of year for the packaging industry. With rising temperatures, consumers eat, drink, and shop outdoors. Restaurants and cafes intensify their takeaway services; businesses in holiday regions bear the seasonal burden; and e-commerce orders increase.
So, amidst all this trend, which packaging types are really making a difference? Based on BAKPAK Global’s summer season data and customer demands, we’ve compiled the six most preferred packaging categories.
"Packaging choices during summertime determine both operational efficiency and customer experience."
Iced lattes, lemonade, smoothies… The demand for cold drinks in summer is reflected in takeaway services.
Transparent PET cups with secure fitting lids are indispensable for cafe operations.
A mug customized with your logo increases your brand visibility through customer interaction.
Demand for kraft packaging doubles in the summer at festival areas, beach bars, and street food establishments.
Its greaseproof structure, heat-retaining material, and 100% recyclable properties make it a popular choice for a wide range of businesses, from burger joints to ice cream parlors.
With ice cream season, colorful printed cardboard bowls fill the display windows of both boutique ice cream shops and chain brands.
With its special material structure that maintains the balance between hot and cold temperatures, and a minimum stock flexibility of 15,000 units, it meets the high-volume seasonal demand.
The trend of light and healthy summer menus is also making its way into takeaway services.
Transparent plastic salad and appetizer containers with lids are becoming a favorite solution for catering businesses, thanks to their special lid design that prevents sauces from spilling while showcasing the freshness of the contents.
Demand for takeaways at coastal areas, hotels, and summer resorts skyrockets during the summer.
Our high-strength corrugated cardboard pizza boxes prevent the dough from staying soggy thanks to their special design that keeps the heat inside while allowing steam to escape.
A reliable choice for summer season capacity.
Jute and tote bags, which stand out as lifestyle products in the summer, are a powerful tool for brand visibility in holiday regions.
The bag your customer carries on the beach, in the market, or on the street becomes a walking advertisement for your brand. Its 100% cotton construction also reinforces your eco-friendly image.
Seasonal Perspective
Summer unexpectedly accelerates demand for packaging. A business that says “we’ll order when we need it” at the beginning of June may face stock shortages at the peak of July.
Especially for products with high minimum order quantities, placing orders in advance reduces your operational risk.
July and August are the busiest months of the year for the food sector, tourism, and e-commerce.
Securing packaging supplies during this period is the number one rule for preventing order disruptions and customer loss.
Conclusion
Six key categories stand out in summer packaging: PET cups for cold drinks, kraft food containers for street food, cardboard ice cream bowls for dessert presentation, plastic salad containers for healthy menus, corrugated cardboard boxes for high-volume pizza delivery, and jute/cloth bags for lifestyle brand visibility.
What these products have in common: they are all choices that are both functional and carry brand value. In the summer season, preparing not only your product but also your packaging to reflect the spirit of the season strengthens the message you’re sending to your customers.
