The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is asking the industry to participate in a global survey called Understanding Online Buying Behaviours of Packaging Professionals.

Developed by Fontys University of Applied Science, the survey is open to all people working in the packaging industry on a professional level.

Completion of the survey will allow the AIP to better understand trends and buying behaviours within Australia.

Ultimately, it will also help you, as a buyer, benchmark your online purchasing activities against competitors, and help reduce online ‘noise’ generated by packaging solutions providers so they can more efficiently serve people like you.
