Is your packaging pulling its weight? Quality packaging isn’t just about keeping your product safe. It's about cutting costs where it matters. → Better shelf efficiency, less wasted space and faster replenishment. If your packaging isn’t doing that, what’s the point? If it’s not working, fix it. Simple. Let’s talk. I’ll show you where the savings are.

Today is #NationalSupplyChainDay! When many people hear the term “supply chain,” their brain jumps to “supply chain issues.”  That’s when having a strong partner matters most. Our teams across South Atlantic, Versatile and Prostar are proud to say that we routinely receive messages from our customers thanking us for stepping up to turn a supply chain issue around. Wowing the customer is the expectation around here, and getting kudos is routine. Here is an example of the notes we recently received. ✨“I just want to send a big thank you to all of you for being such a great partner. Time and time again, you bring value and support to our customers, and I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all that you do in working with us -- from your great customer service to the great quality of work. It is a true pleasure to work with all of you. Thanks again!”✨ To our valued customers who place their trust in us every day, THANK YOU, and happy National Supply Chain Day! #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing #supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions #foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain #petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF #foodandbeverage #foodandbeveragemanufacturing #packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation #strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting #fulfillment 

📦 In my interview for Pack&Log, I discuss four key challenges currently facing the packaging industry. Here are the main topics: 1. Unpredictable Volatility: Political uncertainty and market fluctuations make strategic planning difficult. The conditions are changing faster than many realize. 2. Shifting Consumer Behavior: Declining purchasing power is reshaping the market. We are seeing a clear shift towards discount stores and private labels. 3. Regulatory Challenges: The PPWR brings new regulations that must be implemented both technically and economically. 4. The Packaging Image Problem: Sustainability alone is not enough if packaging continues to be perceived as "waste." As an industry, we need to present a united front and better communicate the value of packaging. Thanks to Gernot Rath for the opportunity to discuss these important industry topics 💡 What’s your view on the future of the packaging industry? Let’s discuss!

RRD’s latest research, The 2024 Packaging and Labels Insight Report, shows that 75% of packaging and 60% of label respondents expect to make functional design changes in the next two years — while 73% and 70%, respectively, plan to make material composition changes. The results show that amidst inflation-related pressures, most companies are prioritizing packaging and label functionality along with product safety. They’re also looking to better meet customer demand by investing in sustainability initiatives and expanding e-commerce operations. What changes are you making to your packaging and labels approach?
