Generative AI: Transforming the Future of Paper-Based Packaging

Sustainability and affordability are key drivers of innovation in the packaging industry. Generative AI (gen AI) is emerging as a transformative force, capable of reshaping the paper-based packaging landscape by delivering smarter, more efficient, and eco-friendly solutions.

A McKinsey report highlights how gen AI can unlock significant value across the packaging and paper industry, with 77% of surveyed executives planning to implement it in the near future. At one.five, we are proud to be the first and leading active AI platform specifically designed for packaging innovation. By harnessing the power of generative AI, we not only develop cutting-edge, sustainable paper-based packaging solutions but also set the industry standard for integrating performance, affordability, and environmental responsibility.

How Generative AI Impacts the Paper-Based Packaging Sector

Gen AI brings immense potential to optimize the end-to-end lifecycle of packaging, particularly for companies committed to paper-based solutions:

• Sustainability Enhancements: By leveraging gen AI, brands can design packaging that reduces material waste, improves recyclability, and aligns with global and local waste regulations . AI can simulate various design scenarios, helping to identify the most eco-friendly options while maintaining durability and performance.
• Affordability Gains: Gen AI optimises manufacturing processes, minimising costs through efficient material usage and selection, predictive maintenance, , and streamlined supply chain operations. These improvements enable one.five to offer cost-effective packaging solutions without compromising on quality or compliance.
• R&D Acceleration: For paper-based products, gen AI, based on massive packaging data, saves long and costly trial and error phases  and ensures precise design for the brand’s needs and desireds. one.five shapes their solutions to meet modern demands for sustainability, machinability, and performance.

Challenges and the Path Forward

While the benefits are clear, challenges like data accessibility, privacy concerns, and a lack of specialized expertise have slowed the adoption of gen AI across the industry. For companies in the paper-based packaging sector, one.five overcame these challenges by:

‍

1. Building Strong Data Foundations- massive database, with millions of datapoints based on internal testing, development collaborations, market data and AI based modeling.

1. Clean, comprehensive data sets are essential for training generative models to provide accurate, actionable insights.
2. Packaging knowhow transforms into “AI BRAIN”-strong LLM model combined with “packaging rules” and material expertise optimizes design win results.
3. Prioritizing Ethical Use: customer data kept confidential and isolated, to allow partners get commercial advantage while keeping confidential R&D processes.
