With businesses facing more uncertainty than ever, smart companies are looking closer to home for their packaging needs. At Packaging Source Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how domestic manufacturing helps our clients build stronger, more reliable operations.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Import Costs Keep Rising
The data tells a clear story about why companies are rethinking overseas packaging. By the end of 2024, American importers had paid over 260 billion U.S. dollars in trade war duties. That’s money coming straight out of business profits.

The Real Cost of Overseas Packaging
When you’re evaluating packaging suppliers, overseas options might look cheaper on paper. But here’s what we’ve learned after 26 years in the business: that lower price tag rarely tells the whole story.
Import delays can shut down your production line. Port congestion means your products sit in containers for weeks. Currency fluctuations turn your “great deal” into a budget nightmare. And when quality issues arise, good luck getting them fixed quickly from halfway around the world.
We’ve helped dozens of companies who came to us after dealing with these exact problems. They thought they were saving money, but ended up losing much more in delays, quality issues, and stress.
Packaging Market Growth Shows Domestic Opportunity
The numbers show why investing in American-made packaging makes business sense. The corrugated packaging market is predicted to grow from USD 297.65 billion in 2024 to USD 444.85 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 4.10%. That’s massive growth happening right here at home.
