The world of packaging has gone mad since Covid accelerated the ecommerce world, this has created a huge bottleneck in the \u2018supply and demand\u2019 supply chain, crushing capacity; with many customers waiting 3 weeks to 3mths or more for their packaging\/boxes etc, and likewise seen several prices increases in the last 2yrs amounting to almost 50% increase in raw materials and finished goods prices in that time – staggering!<\/p>\n
Worse still, in 2022 we are told there are many more increases on the way\u2026.<\/p>\n
So, the benefits of having our corrugator and developing new and innovative cleaner production methods, means we can produce our own raw material, develop leaner, more efficient production methods and will therefore only be dependent on the one input component \u2018Paper\u2019, which means ultimately, we can control the majority of the price increases and lead times, without having to suffer the global margin building the packaging industry is inflicting on its users.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1678″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”50%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]So, the benefits of having our corrugator and developing new and innovative cleaner production methods, means we can produce our own raw material, develop leaner, more efficient production methods and will therefore only be dependent on the one input component \u2018Paper\u2019, which means ultimately, we can control the majority of the price increases and lead times, without having to suffer the global margin building the packaging industry is inflicting on its users.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
