This another wave of coronavirus in India presents an alarming health crisis that the country is grappling with. In addition to the human impact, there is also a significant commercial impact being felt globally in the printing industry again. While print volumes across the industry are continuously declining, it is the need of the hour to drive innovation in the approach of printing and services to serve the industry.
Keeping in mind that this ongoing lockdown will go long, print houses are required to work on fixed cost optimization, holding new investments, credit recovery, limited services, extended / flexible payment terms, etc. But few brains are working on ways to accelerate their business in the post Covid19 world.
At this point when again Covid19 is impacting the Indian market in printing, the key to recover loss and grab wide opportunities will depend on how a print house can deliver the maximum print output within a short span. By expecting a steep rise in investments in digital platforms like Cloud services, ERP systems, Automated Plants, Process optimizations Workflow, Digital Color Production presses, etc. These efforts will convert their ordinary factories into SMART factories.
If we precisely talk about the Labels and packaging industry, printers owning a Full-Color Digital Label Production Press with added finishing options will have an edge over the market. Such fully automated systems would help to serve multiple clients and meet their demand of supplying multiple SKUs Labels daily.
The best part of digital printing is that it allows you to order what you need, when you need it, as much you need. High-end Label Production Presses with their job flexibility, low setup time, on-demand delivery will save a big portion of running and hidden costs. This will save significant time and material costs, and a single factory worker can handle multiple machines and multiple jobs at the same time, greatly optimizing labour.
Under the influence of the epidemic, the shutdown and resumption of traditional printing houses have hindered their production, but digital printing houses can respond quickly. Digital printing complements traditional offset/analogue printing to build a flexible, dynamic, and cost-effective ecosystem that brings more benefits to service providers and end-users.
In such an uncertain situation, everyone should have a positive attitude, the right approach, and look for new opportunities in the market. Post-Covid, looking forward to a big change, new growth, new life in the printing industry.
