Software: the key to optimizing ink inventories in package printing

Dear ,

For packaging converters, inventory control is a complex balancing act that has become much riskier since the global pandemic.

Stock holding has become much more expensive recently, not least because of surging raw materials prices. Understandably, there’s pressure to keep stocks to a minimum. But letting stocks fall too low is a recipe for chaos – in your factory and possibly even at the customer’s. It means production stoppages and immense costs to return to expected service levels.

Stay efficient, resilient and responsive in unstable times
In this edition of the InkConnection, we explain how software is the key to optimized forecasting and inventory control – and why specialist software is needed for managing inventories of inks for spot colours.

The latest packages help converters stay resilient when faced with unstable material supplies – and efficiently respond to customer needs as well.
