It’s no secret that the packaging industry is currently questioning the future availability of cardboard boxes. Actions by Russia could lead to packaging shortages while demand for folding carton boxes may outstrip supply as retailers swap from plastic packaging. All this means it’s more important than ever to have your finger on the pulse of the cardboard packaging market so you can make data-driven business decisions. Packaging retailers RAJA researched keywords using Google Search Trends and SEMRush keyword research to discover what types of cardboard boxes people in the UK are most interested in, and when.
