Henkel has relaunched the packaging of its Pritt stick to improve the consumer experience at the point of sale and at home across Europe. The new cardboard blisters now present a refreshing and modern design with new digital learning and crafting content on the prittworld accessible via QR-Codes. The improved packaging concept aims to simplify the range navigation and to further enhance sustainability.

Since their invention in 1969, Pritt glue sticks have enabled children around the world to express their creativity and improve their motoric skills by crafting. Today’s generation of Pritt sticks feature 97% natural ingredients (including water) and up to 65% recycled plastic in the stick, without any restrictions in performance. It offers a strong initial tack, easy repositioning, and the best crafting results across the category.

In 2022, Henkel introduced plastic-free cardboard blister packaging for its Pritt portfolio to underline its ambitious packaging targets and to further enhance the recyclability of products towards a circular economy.

With the recent relaunch, the company aims to further improve and streamline this sustainable packaging concept. The new cardboard blisters present a new window at the front of the pack allowing consumers to see and touch the products. In addition, the new packaging includes real-size pack shots, prominent color coding, and a navigation bubble to simplify the range navigation and decision-making for consumers. The new packs are made of FSC-certified materials, and the back-of-pack printing comes in black and white to further reduce the environmental impact.

“For more than 50 years Pritt is recognized as a pioneer for sustainable innovation with a strong focus on the needs and expectations of children and their parents as the brand's core,” said Baptiste Chieze, director of marketing, Digital & E-Commerce for consumer adhesives at Henkel Adhesive Technologies. “With the new packaging concept, we aim to further strengthen the Pritt positioning in the world of the 21st Century by constantly improving the consumer experience. This is based on three main pillars – a refreshed and modern look, touch and feel at the point of sale and at home, new digital contents tailored for the main target groups and continuous sustainability improvements for reducing the environmental impact of the products.”
