Top Paper Packaging Suppliers
Originally Published on: SpendEdge |Top Five Vendors in Paper and Paperboard Packaging Market
Packaging is considered one of the most essential marketing communication tool which attracts the customer, disseminates information, and persuades them to make a purchase. Over time, the function of packaging has shifted from protecting against environmental factors to serving as a marketing and promotional tool. In addition to paperboard packaging, paper packaging is favored by the vast majority of premium brands. The growing use of cartons, corrugated boxes, paper case, flexible papers, paper and paperboard packaging solutions by retailers and product manufacturers is driving the expansion of this market. In addition, the government and consumers are garnering support for paperboard and paper packaging suppliers due to the eco-friendliness of these materials compared to plastic packaging.
The primary suppliers and manufacturers of paperboard packaging are members of the Paperboard Packaging Council, which is the leading trade association for suppliers and converters of all types of paperboard packaging. According to a recent SpendEdge report on market intelligence for the procurement industry, the global category spending in this industry is approximately $238 billion.
