The Covid-19 pandemic has been a disruptive force for supply chains the world over and has compounded many issues that were simmering below the surface. The weaknesses of the predominant supply chain models before the pandemic – notably ‘just in time’ and ‘lean manufacturing’ – which depended on extended supply chains, tight delivery windows, and minimal stock holdings, were laid bare by worldwide parts and labour shortages, and spiralling transport costs.

Narrow web printing requires a specific methodology and type of printing press to get the best results and lowest operating costs. Narrow web printing is a term used in both flexographic and digital printing to describe any web measuring less than 500mm /20 inches. In some cases, this may include conventional as well as digital printing systems with or without in-line converting options. This is contrasted with wide web printing, which uses larger webs of  1000mm/40inches plus or more in width in the packaging sectors.

Back in April, Focus Label were proud to announce that we would be the official suppliers and service partners for the Konica Minolta AccurioLabel 230 label printing press in the UK market.

Variable data printing (VDP) (also known as variable information printing (VIP) or variable imaging (VI) is a form of digital printing, including on-demand printing, in which elements such as text, graphics and images may be changed from one printed piece to the next, without stopping or slowing down the printing process and using information from a database or external file.
