[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16844234, member: 45161"] I work in the packaging industry and i can definitely say that the price of plastic bottles and labels has more than doubled. Shipping is also insane and they're likely hemorrhaging employees which forces them to raise pay rates. The people working there are low skilled labor that used to make minimum wage but now they're able to command $20+ /hr. Throw in increased rent and two years of lost profit due to the political flu and you end up with $6.39 water. I'm sure a lot of companies are raising prices out of greed but most that I talk to have shrinking profit margins due to the skyrocketing cost of doing business. We've already seen the first wave of companies folding and it's only going to get worse. [/QUOTE]
