Flexo Market News I NTERNET D IRECTORY
One year into the national promotional campaign from the Paper and Packaging Board to increase awareness and use of paper and paper-based packag- ing products, consumer attitudes about the products’ personal relevance and quality have held steady or seen significant improvement. Results tracked from August 2015 through May 2016 in a wave-over-wave Attitude and Usage survey show improving perceptions of paper and packaging products among the campaign’s target audience. Comparing Findings Top findings comparing initial 2015 data to sur- vey responses in 2016 highlight improvement in at- titudes for both paper and packaging sector products: Among the target audience who recall seeing cam- paign ads, 86 percent of survey responses agree that even as technology becomes more advanced, paper continues to play an important role in our lives. (Up from 73 percent in 2015). Survey respondents who recall seeing campaign ads have shown significantly improved attitudes around the quality of paper-based product packaging: The statement that products that come in paper- based product packaging tend to feel more premium saw significant improvement, up 14 percent. (2015: 52 percent agreed. 2016: 66 percent agreed). Thinking Highly In 2016, 63 percent think more highly of compa- nies that package their products in paper-based pack- aging, up from 44 percent in 2015. Attitudes around the quality of corrugated boxes, al- ready high, remain steady with 84 percent agreeing with the statement: I can rely on corrugated card- board boxes to get my merchandise shipped/deliv- ered safely. (83 percent in 2015).
