Problems in the packaging industry

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

With packaging come its perils. Packaging industry has been under fire from a lot of nonprofit organizations in the U.S who released a “Plastics BAN (Better Alternatives Now) List” in support of California’s 67 ban on carry-out plastics. Additionally, new technologies like 3D-forming for paper packaging is adding pressure on the packaging industries to transform into a more sustainable one. Not just in U.S but also in the EU, many regulations have been put in place.

DEMAND FORECASTING FOR MANUFACTURERS

Manufacturers are always unsure about the demand. The problem arises when the buyers want their orders delivered as soon as possible, also called as “hot parts”. But, on the flip side, the buyers complain that the suppliers never deliver the product on time. Thus, there definitely is a gap that can be filled.

PAYMENT ISSUES

The backbone of every business transaction is the financial transaction that happens before or after the goods are delivered from the producer to the buyer. Normally, the buyer wants to stretch the payments for a longer duration to improve his cash flow. Bigger buyers will likely have more bargaining power in this matter. However, this is a disadvantage for a tiny supplier since he will be devoid of cash for a long period of time.

TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST

One of the major problems that a manufacturing company faces with distributors and other intermediaries in the network is that they do not have complete transparency of the other firm’s working. Hence, the manufacturers must rely on whatever limited data that is available to them to make strategic decisions. However, these “hidden actions”, the ones that the companies don’t have an insight into might have major implications for their business.

LOW CREDIT FACILITIES

With advancements in technology, it has become imperative for manufacturing companies to get along with time and introduce new methods of manufacturing to stay alive in business. Unfortunately, not many businesses have the financial foothold to acquire these new machines due to their steep costs. Most of the times, without assets as collaterals, these SMBs might fail to secure a loan from the bank. Also, even if a loan is secured, it is done through a lot of paperwork which consumes a lot of time as well as natural resources.

QUALITY AND ACCURACY

The quality of shipments is one another important aspect of any supplier-buyer relationship.Unless the products delivered are of high quality, the relationship won’t last long. Damaged products or incorrect products are a pain to the buyers as they lose precious time on waiting up for the right product. Since time is money, the time spent is equivalent to business losses both for buyers and suppliers. Hence, it is of utmost importance that the supplier delivers his goods on time to the buyer.
