In the past few years, the packaging industry has grown faster than most US analysts anticipated. The growth has been credited to the recovery of the economy after the financial meltdown of 2008.  The packaging industry was actually shielded from the crisis, weathering the storm better than most industries.

Several factors have contributed to the success story of the packaging industry.  Newer, more efficient processes have been one of the big reasons that packaging companies could survive the slowdown from manufacturers.  The emergence of advanced, green technologies has made packaging products available that are less harmful to the environment.  Modern packaging systems are as quick and efficient as ever.  Globalization has also helped the packaging industry grow, as more and more companies are doing business overseas.  As the global economy becomes more interdependent, the packaging industry will continue to prosper.

As far as A & R is concerned, we are always doing our best to keep up with the times and keep our prices as low as possible for our customers.  We are constantly looking for new products and new technologies that can help us achieve that goal.  Whether we are revamping our inventory control methods, improving routes to cut down on shipping costs, or finding new vendors with lower prices, our end goal is to get customers the best possible price for the supplies they need to keep their business moving.  This ensures our competitiveness in the packaging industry, and makes us an attractive option for customers and potential customers alike!
