Why Packaging Is Now as Important as Flavor
In 2026, your instant noodle product needs more than good taste to win shelf space. It needs packaging that stands out, communicates value, and meets both environmental and regulatory standards.
At Kimdee, we help food brands design OEM packaging that’s not only functional but optimized for retail, compliance, and sustainability — in both domestic and export markets.
1. QR Code Labels Are Becoming Standard
More buyers and retailers now expect QR-enabled packaging for:
Ingredient transparency
Halal/vegan certification links
Social media engagement
Product authentication and recall management

2. Eco-Friendly Materials Are in Demand
Retailers, especially in Europe and the Middle East, are shifting to:
Recyclable paper-based noodle cups
Compostable wrappers
Plastic-free sealing
Mono-material pouches for easier recycling
♻️ Kimdee provides eco-packaging R&D as part of our OEM services to help meet the demands of export buyers focused on ESG and sustainability.
3. Shelf Visibility Still Matters
Despite the digital shift, your product must win in-store first:
Bold, photo-realistic flavor graphics
Minimalist icons for “no MSG,” “halal,” “vegan,” “organic”
Matte finishes and bold color blocks for premium SKUs
🎨 We tailor artwork and format to match buyer category expectations in ASEAN, EU, and North America.
4. Portion Size Impacts Packaging Format
Packaging design should reflect SKU strategy:
| SKU Size | Best Format | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 60g–70g | Pillow pouch | Mass market retail, SEA |
| 80g–100g | Paper cup | Mid-range, vending, travel |
| 100g+ | Stand-up pouch | Premium shelf, eCommerce |
💡 OEM customization lets you align product format, packaging, and pricing by channel.
5. Export-Ready Labeling Is Non-Negotiable
Every country has unique packaging regulations. At Kimdee, we handle:
Ingredient and allergen panels
Halal/MUIS, USDA Organic, or EU Organic logos
Multilingual labeling
Country-specific barcodes
📦 We ensure packaging meets international export labeling standards.
