Tariff Volatility and Supply Chain Disruptions: The Case for Onshore Blending

Today’s global market is more unpredictable than ever.

What Is Onshore Blending and Why Is It Important?

Onshore blending refers to mixing and formulating products (such as greases, lubricants, or chemicals) within the U.S. instead of relying on overseas production. Pack Logix partners with a network of proven domestic blending providers and delivers high-quality packaging solutions, ensuring a robust supply chain that offers:

  • Shorter lead times
  • Lower shipping risks
  • Cost predictability
  • Protection from tariff increases

With ongoing global trade instability, companies that rely on foreign-sourced materials face uncertain costs, extended lead times, and supply chain bottlenecks. Onshore blending lessens these risks, ensuring businesses retain control, cost consistency, and supply chain security in today’s changing market.

Advantages of Onshore Blending

1. Shields Your Business from Tariff Volatility

Unstable import tariffs create unpredictable cost structures, making it difficult for businesses to plan budgets and manage logistics. Sudden policy changes can increase import duties, delay shipments due to customs inspections, and disrupt sourcing strategies.

With onshore blending, companies can:

  • Eliminate exposure to tariff fluctuations
  • Avoid unexpected customs fees and trade restrictions
  • Ensure stable, predictable pricing

Even when tariffs are temporarily paused, the risk of policy reversals remains. Domestic blending provides a long-term, stable alternative to unpredictable import costs.

2. Reduces Supply Chain Disruptions with Onshore Blending

Beyond tariffs, supply chain instability is another growing challenge. Shipping container shortages, labor strikes, port congestion, and geopolitical conflicts have led to extended lead times and increased costs for businesses dependent on global sourcing.

By switching to domestic production, companies can:

  • Reduce reliance on unpredictable global shipping
  • Ensure reliable production timelines
  • Minimize risks from international disruptions

Pack Logix helps businesses build a resilient, onshore supply chain by coordinating with trusted blending providers and delivering expert packaging solutions, keeping production efficient and free from global uncertainties.

3. Takes Back Control of Production Schedules with Onshore Blending

  • Eliminate international shipping delays
