Build a stronger position in contract negotiations
Have your own independent and regular source of data on trends driving the price of the plastic films, foils and papers used in your flexible packaging – you don’t have to only rely on what your supplier is telling you. Know the cost and market factors that are driving your supplier’s business and because you are better informed it will lead to better buying decisions. |
Prepare for future changes in your upstream supplier base
Regional flexible packaging supplier bases have changed in recent years and keeping track of which companies to deal with can be difficult. PCI experts provide analyses of the global flexible packaging market to help companies develop their corporate sourcing strategies. Being better informed will lead to better buying decisions in the future. |
