Rising costs, sustainability pressures, and supply chain disruptions are creating major challenges for the packaging industry. But one issue urgently stands out: ensuring the workforce keeps pace with rapid industry changes. As automation, new materials, and evolving regulations reshape operations, companies can’t afford to rely on outdated skills. Since 85% of packaging companies report difficulties in hiring qualified employees, focusing solely on recruitment won’t solve the problem according to an industry report by PMMI Business Intelligence.¹ The key to maintaining efficiency, innovation, and marketability is contingent on continuous employee training.

A well-trained workforce adapts more easily to technological advancements, giving packaging companies a competitive edge in innovation and customer satisfaction. As consumer expectations shift toward faster, personalized experiences and sustainable practices, teams must adapt and support these demands. Continuous training on new technologies helps companies meet expectations while enhancing productivity and complying with evolving industry regulations.
