Let’s not sugarcoat it: Tariffs are punching the packaging industry in the face — and U.S. businesses are eating the cost.
Over the past few years, the U.S. government decided to play hardball with trade partners like China and others by slapping tariffs on imported goods. The packaging industry, which heavily relies on foreign materials like paper pulp, poly film, and corrugated board, got caught in the middle like a toddler in a dodgeball match.
📦 What’s actually happening?
Tariffs have jacked up the cost of:
- Raw materials (like resin, aluminum, and paper)
- Finished packaging products (like mailers, bags, boxes)
- Shipping containers and freight (because why not make it even worse?)
In plain English: The price of your shipping boxes has gone from “eh, manageable” to “wait… how much for a kraft mailer?!”
If you’re running an eComm brand, a brick-and-mortar store, or you’re slinging merch like a Gen Z influencer, your margins are probably tighter than your skinny jeans.
