Purchasing - Online info about packaging not easy to share

27 January 2016

Research at Fontys University NL finds that, when doing internet research for a purchasing project, a gap exists between finding pertinent information on packaging vendors’ websites and being able to share it with others in the buying team. Packaging solutions vendors are doing a good job in making their webpages easily accessible to potential buyers.
The data indicated that 16% of the equipment vendors offer sharing options (such as email buttons or social media buttons), while only 5% of the packaging services companies do. Interestingly, none of the companies studied in the Netherlands or Germany offer a sharing option (News Item Packaging Digest, 21 December 2015).
