Here’s what the new tariffs mean for packaging—and why GWC Packaging customers don’t have to worry
If you've been following recent headlines, you may have noticed growing concern around new tariff increases on imported goods. These tariffs are part of a broader effort to shift global trade dynamics—but for warehouse managers, purchasing teams, and operations leaders, they can introduce real uncertainty: rising costs, delayed shipments, and supplier disruptions.
So, what are tariffs—and why do they matter?
Tariffs are government-imposed taxes on goods brought in from other countries. When tariffs go up, the cost of imported materials and products can rise dramatically. For many businesses that rely on international suppliers, this means facing sudden price hikes, shipping delays, and inventory gaps—all of which disrupt schedules and strain budgets.
But here’s the good news:
If you’re a GWC Packaging customer, these tariff changes don’t affect you.
That’s because all of our packaging supplies, equipment, and materials are sourced and manufactured right here in the U.S. We’ve built strong partnerships with domestic suppliers, and we’ve always believed in keeping our supply chain close to home. That decision is paying off for our customers now more than ever.
While others are navigating price changes and delivery slowdowns, GWC customers continue to receive the same reliable service and pricing they’ve always counted on. No surprises. No disruptions. And because we maintain inventory across key product categories, our team is ready to support your operations without delay.
