Key Challenges for Folding Carton Converters

Folding carton converters face several challenges in meeting the demands of today's market, including managing an increased prepress workload, dealing with lead time pressure, and meeting sustainability goals amidst complex supply chains and changing regulations.

Increased Prepress Workload

As the demand for high-quality, customized folding cartons continues to grow, converters’ prepress workload is increasing. Converters must not only manage a higher volume of work, but ensure all materials are available and designs meet the necessary specifications for printing.

Increased Prepress Workload

Lead Time Pressure

Lead Time Pressure

Lead time has been considerably shortened, leading to tight deadlines and compromised quality. Unexpected delays disrupt production schedules and increase risk of errors or defects in finished products.

Sustainability

Reducing waste and emissions from plates and substrates is of utmost importance. The challenge is exacerbated by supply chains with multiple suppliers and means of transportation. Additionally, converters must stay on top of new sustainability requirements and laws.
