Tackle material shortage, price increases and supply chain challenges with 100% print inspection from Esko
Eliminate waste and protect business continuity both for you and your customer.
T
hese are challenging times. Raw materials, inks, energy, labour and logistics costs are all continually
increasing.
Supply chain disruption is affecting everyone, from convertors being forced to buy materials from suppliers in small batches through to the brands over-ordering to increase their stock reserves.
Not only do material shortages make it extremely difficult for you to guarantee on-time delivery to your customer, but it also means you’re being forced to work with substitute materials, or even print the same job with different substrates. This creates a world of new and very unwelcome quality issues, which when combined with increasing demand, time pressures, limited workforce and need for more operator involvement, invariably leads to more mistakes, reprints, waste and delays. With all these recent changes and challenges, brands still expect you to meet their quality standards and repeatability as well as on time delivery – and rightfully so.
DID YOU KNOW?
Every meter of material wasted now costs you 30-50% more than two years ago. Waste bins
are overflowing because: O Material is wasted during make ready and job changeovers
O Print defects and colour variations are not detected and fixed on time
O Entire jobs being incorrectly printed wastes time AND materials
O Errors are only discovered after the job is already completed
