From mozzarella to grated cheese: Tailored packaging concepts

Europe dominates the global cheese market, with a share of nearly 50%. Rising cheese consumption, an increasing variety of product formats, and new regulatory requirements are driving demand for packaging that protects cheese as a natural product while combining material efficiency, processability, and recyclability. This makes it increasingly important for manufacturers and packers to take a holistic view of the entire system – from the product and packaging to machinery, logistics, retail, and consumer use.

US Food Labeling Requirements: What Changes in 2026 and 2027

The United States has no warning seals. Its food label rests on the Nutrition Facts panel, the declaration of nine major allergens and the bioengineered food disclosure, all under FDA’s 21 CFR Part 101. But 2026 and 2027 bring three changes that land squarely on the package: Red No. 3 must be out of food by January 15, 2027, the new “healthy” definition carries a February 2028 compliance date, and a proposed front-of-package rule is still waiting to be finalized.

Round(ing) the corner 

Rounded corners make high demands of the material and the way it’s processed. Jonathan Carter, head of Innovation Product Management at DS Smith, explains what’s important here. “We need an outer liner that’s robust enough to stabilize the curve, whereas the inner liner must be much lighter to enable the fluting to form perfectly. This is the only way to produce a smooth curve without the material creasing or tearing.”
