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.
