Jabil Packaging Solutions, a division of Jabil Inc., launched a connected packaging platform that enables Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies to offer its customers a compelling next-generation user experience that maximizes convenience and boosts brand loyalty.

Connected packaging represents the next generation of CPG innovation and is widely expected to transform the industry over the next decade. To help brands leap to the forefront of these consumer trends, Jabil is also offering a suite of specialized services that accelerate new product introduction.

These services reportedly address early-stage ideation, prototype development, design for manufacturability, in-market user testing and the facilitation of a regional or global product launch and post-launch end-user support. Jabil is unique in the market as a solution provider able to coordinate and execute on all aspects of a connected packaging solution, from software to manufacturing, from concept to scale.

Jabil is well positioned to lead this movement with extensive technology capabilities and a deep history of packaging innovation. Connected packaging, particularly its enablement of auto-replenishment, provides CPG brands with a scalable response to both consumer and brand pain points felt across the evolving CPG landscape.
