Tariffs & Packaging: What Warehouse Teams Need to Know
As a trusted packaging supplier, we know that rising costs and supply chain disruptions are the last things you need. Tariffs on packaging materials—like corrugated boxes, stretch film, and tape—can impact your budget and lead times, making it harder to keep warehouse operations running smoothly.
When tariffs increase on raw materials like paper, plastics, or aluminum, manufacturers adjust their prices, which then affects distributors and ultimately warehouse teams like yours. But instead of scrambling to find new suppliers or cutting corners on quality, there are smarter ways to stay ahead—and that’s where we come in.
Why Are Packaging Costs Increasing?
Tariffs can drive up prices in two key ways:
✅ Direct Impact: Higher import taxes on packaging materials increase production costs, which affect pricing at every level.
✅ Indirect Impact: Even if a product isn’t directly taxed, tariffs on fuel, adhesives, or other related materials raise overall supply chain costs.
For example, tariffs on imported paper have led to spikes in corrugated packaging prices, making it more expensive for warehouses to source essential supplies.
