“So much of the supply chain transformed throughout the past few years, driven by consumer demand and changing environments during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. While the transportation segment deals with a flurry of demand coupled with a driver shortage and the warehousing sector becomes a top of mind rather than an afterthought, packaging also moves up to an important part of supply chain manager’s strategies.

But, now that consumers gain power over brands and retailers, companies in the supply chain think differently about packaging.”
