Ink Purchasing Orientation and Status Quo

With the increasingly fierce competition in the carton packaging industry, how to reduce the cost of ink and water consumption, how to rationally select ink and wash ink, and make carton printing quality stable and improve, has attracted the attention of the majority of carton enterprises.

The current status of the ink painting market:

Grades and prices: Usually most suppliers are divided into high-end, mid-range, and low-end inks. The main performance differences are: drying speed, wear resistance, waterproof, hiding power, fluidity and so on. High-end is the best, medium- and low-grade performance is decreasing in turn. However, the high, medium and low grades of ink and wash are set by the ink makers themselves. Therefore, ink products with similar performance have different grades due to the ink makers, and no unified standard has been formed. . Naturally also called high-grade ink, but the performance price may have a certain gap.
The factors influencing the performance of ink and ink are regional: because the temperature difference between the south and the north varies greatly, the drying speed and fluidity of the ink and ink performance are affected, and there is also a gap between the printing equipment performance and product quality requirements of the coastal and inland areas. Therefore, corporate procurement should consider ink printing performance and certain printability as a targeted choice.

Merchants offer a variety of choices :

How to choose inks suitable for corporate performance in order to meet the company's product requirements and production needs is the key to the smooth production of the enterprise. Therefore, when companies purchase ink and wash, they should deal with the sales methods, service methods, and factors that contribute to product stability. To comprehensively consider and understand.

The following step-by-step describes the diversification of businesses

Traditional supply of finished products: Ink and ink merchants supply fixed-point ink products to a number of carton factories, and the supply and problem processing are not timely or delayed.

Supply of semi-finished products: ink makers sell pastes and inks and related auxiliaries, and professional ink distributors deploy finished ink products according to the day's or near-term demand. Timely supply, prevention of problems in advance, increased means to adjust ink printability, enhanced internal production technology capabilities, and reduced inventory, color adjustability so that ink and ink inventory is zero.

Along with this approach, the following services are derived:

The ink merchants sent a special person to the carton factory to provide ink training for the short-term training of the paper products factory, the establishment of the ink and ink department and the ink and ink management program, and the ink and water dealers sent personnel to visit customers regularly to provide problem solving solutions and technical support.

Ink printers provide printing technicians, long-term on-site tracking services, establishment of ink and ink department for paper products factory, management of the ink and ink department, printing technicians assisting manufacturers in implementing printing management projects, collecting problems and collecting statistics on various problems in the printing sector. , Proposing solutions to the problem until effective prevention of the problem.
In short, the development and improvement of sales methods and service methods provide a variety of choices for paper product manufacturers. The rational selection of sales and service methods for paper product manufacturers requires starting from the needs of the company itself.

The main factors to consider when selecting ink suppliers:

Examine the level of ink-washer ink painting is complete, quality is stable.

Examine the services and service system capabilities of ink traders, such as the cooperation and timeliness of supply methods, timely and effective complaints and feedback processing. In short, the more perfect service methods can provide paper products factories with in-depth and detailed technical support to avoid quality waste and make the quality of ink and water can be applied rationally and produce smoothly. Make sure the printing quality is stable.

From the actual internal needs of the company to choose:

The product has less color, the order is stable for a long time, and the printing requirements are simple. The choice of the ink and ink products can be provided nearby.

The product color gradually increases with the business. The defects in the supply of finished products are revealed. Incremental inventory and staying inventory gradually appear. At this time, the supply of semi-finished products should be selected. The service method depends on the difficulty of product requirements to determine whether it is short-term training or long-term in-factory service.

There are many kinds of products in the company, with increasing colors, rapid business growth, and large differences in the performance of printing equipment. For example, companies with big drum presses and quick-squeegee systems all have their own ink-printability range and need ink. With the establishment of a special management department, the selected ink and wash department operators (ie, printer technicians) must have strong professional skills, management skills, and communication skills to be competent. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to produce within the company. It's more professional. It is especially important for this service approach to examine whether the supplier's service system management capabilities are perfect. There are more and more merchants using this kind of service, but businesses that are mature and already have a complete service system are rare. Because imitation cannot achieve deep-level service value, imitation merchants lack continuous innovation ability and internal core management organization.

The above three factors are far more important than the price of ink. Because quality and service are not in place, even if there is a very cheap price, as long as there is a large quality loss, the cheap price difference in the whole year may not be there. Therefore, it is said that the quality of ink and ink is stable, the grades are complete, and the service methods are diversified; and suppliers who can comprehensively consider them according to actual needs through in-plant services are the first choice for ink-and-wash procurement. Because quality and production efficiency are more important than the reduction of ink costs.

In a word, there are many ways for companies to choose ink and wash, with quality and service as their priority. Secondly, comprehensive considerations can bring maximum benefits to carton manufacturers, and the low price preference for ink and wash is an obstacle for companies to maximize their profits.
