With ever-changing tariffs, challenges multiply. Even if your business isn’t directly impacted, the packaging industry is—and you may feel the ripple effects. Now is the time to evaluate your strategy and find improvements. 🟥 Let’s Talk Tariffs: The recent 30-day pause on 25% tariffs for Canadian and Mexican goods is positive, but businesses still brace for what’s next. Meanwhile, the additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports remains, making cost management critical. If you purchase from non-U.S. companies, exploring alternatives is crucial. 🟩 Endless Sourcing Options: ![Sell Sheets 2025 (1)](https://blog.kaufmancontainer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sell%20Sheets%202025%20(1).png?width=241&height=270&name=Sell%20Sheets%202025%20(1).png) A key advantage of working with a trusted packaging distributor is access to a vast supplier network.
