The Packer is seeking input from produce shippers and packaging suppliers for the upcoming Aug. 30 Packaging on Display magazine.

As we build coverage and stories, we want to know about packaging innovation and trends from industry leaders. Here are a few questions from the survey:

  • Compared with a year ago, how much have packaging costs increased in the past year? What are your pricing expectations for 2022?
  • Have consumer preferences for packaged produce diminished with the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic?
  • What innovations have made sustainable packaging more realistic?
  • What packaging changes has your company made recently or plans to make in the next year?
  • What packaging innovation or new product are you most excited about?

Please complete the survey.

For questions, contact Tom Karst at news@thepacker.com.
