The past year has seen a mass movement, driven by regulatory and consumer sentiment, away from plastic and towards paper bags. The resulting boom in demand for paper bags has led to a shakeup in the market, with some domestic suppliers informing clients they have supply disruptions for the foreseeable future and other manufacturer’s increasing prices each quarter.

AnnJoy provides expertise in translating your brand image into a functional and beautiful package. One of the first steps in determining how best to engineer your branded packaging is to evaluate your artwork and determine which of 3 basic printing processes – flexography, offset or gravure – best suits your needs. If offset or gravure printing are needed to meet your graphic requirements, your order will likely need to be produced overseas, adding several weeks to lead time. To receive your holiday packaging by early October, your order should be placed no later than early May.

The past 12 months have seen a level of volatility, bordering on chaos, in the supply chain that most of us have not witnessed during our working lifetimes. Local, national and global shipping rates are soaring, ocean bookings are no longer guaranteed – even finding a trucker can be a serious challenge.

I was surprised recently by the claim made by a young cashier who was bagging my purchase at a large retail chain. “Don’t worry that we are using these plastic bags – they are environmentally friendly!” He went on to assure me that the bags were made entirely of recycled content and that their use was something I could actually feel good about.
