Annual report (Form 10-K)

Packaging Corporation of America 10-K for FY2025

Filing excerpt

Our papers compete with electronic data transmission, e-readers, electronic document storage alternatives, and paper grades we do not produce. Increasing shifts to these alternatives have had, and are likely to continue to have, an adverse effect on traditional print media and paper usage and lower demand for communication papers.
