Supply chain disruptions and rising costs have necessitated changes across several industries, and packaging is no exception.

Nine out of 10 packaging decision makers changed how their packaging is sourced as a result of recent global supply chain disruptions, according to a survey for R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company’s 2022 Unpackaging Reality Report.

The survey, conducted in April and May 2022, asked 300 U.S.-based procurement, brand marketing, and package engineering professionals how they have coped with current challenges and adapted to the evolving consumer marketplace.
