Retail ready packaging (RRP), also known as shelf-ready packaging, is a secondary packaging solution that aids in optimizing stock. It includes pallet displays, case stackers, and counter displays, which are commonly manufactured using plastic, paper, and paperboards. It is lightweight, appealing to the eyes, and reduces the time needed to unpack products and set up displays. It offers numerous other advantages, such as easy handling and replenishment, and helps in effective brand promotion, improving product identification and shelf-life, and protecting the packed fragile items from mechanical stress while transporting them from one place to another. Besides this, it aids in reducing packaging waste, eliminating the need for external secondary packaging materials, and minimizing labor and overall operation costs. At present, it is extensively used in the food and beverage (F&B) industry across the globe to keep moisture away and retain the aroma and flavor of packed items for a long time.

The growing working population and the escalating demand for processed foods and beverages around the world are among the major factors currently positively influencing the market.
