Which consumer expectations will shape the packaging drinks and food of tomorrow?  With CARLIN CREATIVE TREND BUREAU, we’ve spotted 4 major drivers and the signals of 2026 market trends you can’t ignore: ➡️ ENJOYING TOGETHER From “no phone” rituals to formats designed to share, consumers seek casual, fun, spicy emotions and even seniors are claiming their place at the table. ➡️ CARE CULTURE Fruits replace sugar, categories blur with hybrid drinks, and lemon becomes the star flavor. Superfoods and upcycled ingredients continue to grow in popularity, alongside short supply chains. ➡️ TRADITIONAL STATUS No/low alcohol drinks adopt wine rituals, bistro chic nostalgia resurfaces, and consumers look for symbols and mysticism. At the same time, micro-luxury and collectible ultra-luxury editions turn everyday products into status markers. ➡️ CREATIVE EXPERIENCE Personalization continues to appeal strongly. People are willing to spend more on personalized items, and brands are using creative cork designers (bold, colorful, or handcrafted) to stand out. Stay tuned, more insights are coming soon 👀 To learn more: https://lnkd.in/d3VcjzqY #Verallia #PackagingTrends #GlassIndustry

Back to school, back to glass design 🎓 To kick off September, (re)discover the winners of the Verallia France Design Awards 2025: ✨ Rosé Liberté – Candice Remond A non-alcoholic rosé bottle imagined for Pink October, with a funky and committed graphic identity, inspired by the diversity of bodies and freedom of expression. 🩷 Bris d’éclat – Salomé Truquet A sensory bottle that captures the energy of broken glass and the authenticity of rosé, with a faceted upper part and a smooth base separated by a wave. 🥃 Vibration – Camille Déniel A lightweight spirit bottle inspired by funk music and designed to be reused as a vase or glass. It plays on light, motion and transparency. 🔥 Stripes – Maxime Gasnier A compact 70cl cognac bottle with 70s-inspired geometric patterns and a design that optimises transport efficiency. 🎶 RéverreB – Audrey Hector-Weil Designed for white spirits, this bottle features sculpted sound waves around its base that catch the light as the bottle turns. 🍷 Twist’n’Shout – Julie EDMOND A twisted bottle celebrating rosé, designed to catch the light and invite celebration.  Congratulations to all the participants and see you next year for the 2026 edition! #Verallia #GlassDesign #PackagingInnovation #StudentDesign

Ever wonder what happens after you toss that glass bottle in the recycling bin? 🤔 Spoiler: it doesn’t just disappear. Let’s take a look behind the scenes. Your bottle heads to a sorting and cleaning facility for a mini spa day — washed, scrubbed, and sorted by colour (yes, glass has a dress code). During the process, anything that doesn’t belong (aka the party crashers) gets kicked out — like porcelain, plastic caps, and metal rings. The result? Clean glass cullet (aka recyclable glass), ready to become a brand-new, iconic bottle. Want to be a recycling rockstar? ✔️ Rinse your bottles ✔️ Remove caps and lids ✔️ Only put glass packaging in the bin. Want to know more?

👁 A bottle that glows in the dark? Yes, really. Behind that luminous gaze lies a story of Asian inspiration and bold packaging choices, born from the collaboration between Tarsier Southeast Asian Spirit and Verallia UK. Crafted with 58% recycled cullet, the black glass becomes the backdrop for a jungle-inspired design, blending delicate bamboo, embossed leaves… and a tiny creature with big eyes - the Philippine tarsier - brought to life with a glow-in-the-dark detail. A bottle that tells the tale of a gin infused with the flavours of Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam and of a brand that dares to stand out on the shelf with its glass packaging.

[Passionate about glass. Inspired by you.] “The Montblanc plant will always be my factory - the one I saw grow, and the one that helped me grow” The inspiring story of Gloria Martorell, Customer Service Manager – Montblanc, Spain 🇪🇸 At Verallia, I found more than a job. What started as a challenge in 1996 has become my life. My passion for glass flows through everything I do. I carry it with me - and share it with those around me. 🌱 I joined Verallia part-time as secretary to the construction director. Then came new responsibilities: management, admin, even environmental tasks. Step by step, I found my path - and a place to grow. 👩💼 Today, I’m Customer Service Manager, working with top-tier clients in the Water and Beer market. I’ve grown with the factory - and with the people around me. Together, we’ve shared projects and milestones… and more than one paella! 💪 At Verallia, I gained more than skills - I gained confidence. I became a mother, got involved in my community, and when the opportunity came to lead a workshop, I applied without hesitation. Many years have passed, but I still have ideas to share - and many tons of glass to sell! Maybe even a few things to learn from Artificial Intelligence too. 😉 Discover her inspiring story ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dUBuBPJB #Verallia #InspiringStories #CareerPath #PeopleFirst #Leadership #GlassIndustry
