Budgeting for Uncertainty: What Food & Beverage Brands Should Expect in 2027
September 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Packaging cost volatility is no longer a temporary disruption for Food & Beverage manufacturers and retailers. It’s the planning environment. Paper, aluminium, glass and plastics each move on their own timeline and for their own reasons, which makes building one clean number for next year’s budget a genuine challenge.
