Tariffs QS 2025
The purpose of this survey is to benchmark how PMMI members are handling ongoing tariff updates. Quickie Surveys are a free service offered to PMMI members to provide benchmarking on a variety of topics.
2025 Tariffs Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines how packaging and processing companies are responding to rapidly shifting tariff conditions across North America . Drawing on mid-2025 inputs from OEMs of varied revenue ranges, the analysis indicates widespread operational impacts, from rising component costs to delays in customer purchasing. Charts and tables highlight emerging patterns in procurement pressures, quoting strategies, and project deferrals, while respondent comments provide real-world context on uncertainty, supply-chain recalibration, and customer hesitancy. Focus areas span cost management approaches, communication practices with CPG customers, and post-tariff plans such as dual sourcing or redesign. The report reveals where engineering and commercial teams are concentrating efforts to stabilize margins and maintain customer confidence.
