4 Packaging Strategies To Help Control Shipping Costs

From Sealed Air Corporation
 

 

2005 will go down in history as the year in which crude oil prices went above $60 (and ultimately $70) per barrel - the highest it's ever been. Considering that the year has still some time to go before it's over, who knows what price oil will achieve by 2006? It is hard to read a newspaper or magazine, listen to the news or watch it on television without this information coming up in one story or another. It also is difficult to avoid the impact this will have on the packaging industry.
