People around the world are learning the hard way how completely dependent we all are upon reliable supply chains to keep our economy — and our lifestyles — running. In the shadow of quarantines and social distancing guidelines, consumers have had to rely more than ever on ecommerce to deliver necessities.
It’s no secret that e-commerce is growing. The e-commerce channel itself grew 16% in 2018. With the surge of online shopping outlets, brands have opportunities to reach consumers like never before.
Some consumer packaged goods brands have been asked by Amazon in recent months to overhaul their product packaging to be greener, sturdier and cheaper to ship, according to Forbes.
The new addition, scheduled to open mid-2020, will be built alongside the current warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas, and have the capacity to house more than 500,000 stocked products.
The concept of a smart packaging warehouse is not only the future of packaging and distribution – it's much closer to becoming a reality than you may believe.
Three industry trends are providing incentives for innovation and are creating new opportunities and threats for players in the global protective transit packaging business. Protective transit packaging products and systems are vital components in the global $32.2 trillion (2016) commerce in manufactured goods.
