This Web-based survey, which drew 129 qualified responses, was conducted on Packworld.com in July 2002. Only responses from packaging end users were tabulated; nonqualified responses (from suppliers or nonpackaging end users) were discarded. Chief industries represented included food, nonfood consumer products, industrial products, and medical/pharmaceutical products. Respondents were most likely to work in engineering, packaging, or plant management, though a mix of others responded. The survey represented a combination of small, medium, and large companies across the U.S., plus a few from overseas. More than 85% identified themselves as regular readers of Packaging World.
