something that will increase costs significantly, Byington says. “If your cardboard design includes a ribbon that you wrap around and tie in a bow, that’s somewhat costly.” Another way to keep costs low when changing or upgrading is to increase your buying power through a partnership or service. “Our
packaging costs have shown a slight uptick recently due to commodity increases,” Rose says. “We are continuing to work with Top Source to assist us in lowering our costs by buying as a consortium of retailers rather than going it alone. This model of procuring packaging works well for us.” The cost of packaging should be a standard percentage of the retail price. For Byington and Hy-Vee, that percentage should be right in the range of 7.5% or under. “If your spending about 7.5% on the package, that leaves you enough mark up to still be profitable on that item,” he says. “If your packaging starts to be in excess of 7.5% y of your retail price, then your packaging cost is cutting into your profitability.”
Trends
Herb Knutson, director of marketing for Inline Plastics, lists a few of the latest trends in supermarket bakery and deli packaging. • Smaller sized packaging, particularly for single servings of bakery products, such as cupcakes, cake and pie slices, tortes, etc. • More attractive packaging that highlights the quality of upscale and elegant desserts. • More items offered in packaging for grab-and-go applications to serve time-stressed consumers.
