Navigating DTC Packaging in Times of Crisis

DTC packaging is trending skyward. There is no doubt that our current national and global situation is fluid and ever-changing by the minute. Large businesses and small businesses alike have all felt the impact as the day to day business climate has been disrupted for an unknown amount of time. Many people are now working from home, and countless retail chains, malls, restaurants, bars and other stores are closed for the foreseeable future. Without question this means an increase to the already booming DTC and online business demand, as consumers avoid retail and now rely on essential goods and services being delivered directly to their homes.

While for many DTC businesses this can be good news, the increased demand can put a strain on any area of the supply chain, including packaging materials. When you consider that a large number of these DTC companies depend on China and other overseas manufacturers, this can be increasingly worrisome when the need for packaging rises.

As a reminder, Salazar Packaging does not import any packaging products, and all of our manufacturing is done within the USA at any number of over a dozen manufacturing partners scattered around the country, providing multiple options as needed.
