CLINTON, Mass. – Nov. 3, 2014 – Megatrends such as increasing competition on the store shelves from retail brands, rising wages in China and commitments from major U.S. retailers to buy more American made goods are prompting national brands to fight harder to differentiate their brands and look for ways to manufacture more of their product packaging closer to home. While packaging megatrends like these continue to unfold, national brands face their fiercest competitive challenge on the local display shelf, where store brands threaten to syphon off consumer attention and dollars. These trends are, in turn, driving increasing interest in and the growth of packaging producers, such as Nypro Packaging, a Jabil Company. A leading design and manufacturing partner for major U.S. consumer brands, Nypro Packaging is well positioned to offer customers the unique, customized packaging solutions and versatile manufacturing capabilities they need to compete and succeed in today’s fast-changing marketplace.
