As online sales of consumer goods continue to grow, so does demand for packaging that meets the shipping requirements of those goods. A recent Harris Poll conducted on behalf of cushioning leader Sealed Air examines packaging's role in online sales. Among the topics, the 2014 Sealed Air e-Commerce Survey: Packaging for e-Commerce Success examines consumers' pet peeves. Fully 56% of Americans say they have pet peeves about packaging for e-commerce. Difficult disposal and recycling are at the top of the list, along with messy packaging. For almost one-third, the top packaging pet peeve is "bothersome disposal"-packaging that must be broken down or takes up too much room in the trash, for example. For 31%, packaging that creates an in-home mess is the leading irritant, and for 27% the honor goes to difficult-to-recycle packaging.
