For companies selling packaged food, pharmaceutical products, personal care goods, retail products and other essential consumer items, packaging availability was part of production readiness.\n            <\/p>\n<p>\n              Netpak issued this operational update to confirm that its folding carton packaging operations remained active and that its warehouse and logistics teams were available to help customers maintain continuity. The company also reported that COVID-19 had not affected its production capabilities or raw material supply at the time of the update.\n            <\/p>\n<p>\n              For packaging buyers, the message was direct.
