Lyte Packaging
2025 Year Roundup
2025 was a truly memorable and busy year for us and our co-packing sister division, Project 7. From major exhibitions to award-winning innovations and inspiring community outreach, 2025 has given us plenty to celebrate.
January
We kicked off the year at Paris Packaging Week, it was not only our first exhibition presence in Europe, but the coincided with the opening of our new French warehousing facility near La Rochelle.
February
Packaging Innovations & Empack is a firm fixture in our calendar, and this year our stand became the perfect setting to introduce our new smart packaging solutions.
Featuring built-in NFC and RFID technology, our packaging now offers seamless access to digital content, from user manuals and product videos to serial and batch information.
March
Spring brought with it Mother’s Day, Easter and a season filled with gifting. With single-use packaging at its peak during this time, we highlighted our reusable gift boxes, premium keepsake designs that can be repurposed and recycled at the end of their life.
June
A standout moment of the year was winning the Household Goods Award at the Environmental Packaging Awards in London. Our Trigger Spray Pouch, developed in collaboration with Project 7, earned national recognition as the first of its kind in the UK.
August
We partnered with West Midlands Distillery on the launch of their inaugural whisky. The brief called for standout packaging, and we delivered a dramatic fan-opening rigid box crafted with contrasting black and white papers, litho print, foiling and spot UV.
September
We had the pleasure of visiting a local primary school to inspire students about sustainable packaging. We explored recyclable, compostable and reusable materials, and how creativity can make packaging both functional and fun.
December
As the festive season approaches, we’ve been supporting brands in packing custom seasonal gifts and combining innovative packaging with contract packing.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We’ll be returning to Paris Packaging Week and Packaging Innovations, continuing to champion sustainable design, connect with innovative brands, and hopefully add a few more awards to the shelf.
