Solving Packaging Challenges in India's Manufacturing Sector with Markem-Imaje's Generic Case Coding Solutions

Current Landscape and Challenges in the Indian Market

India's manufacturing sector is a vital component of its economy, driving growth, employment, and innovation. However, it faces several challenges, especially in the realm of packaging and case coding. Manufacturers deal with diverse SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) requirements, rising costs, and the need for operational efficiency.

Current Challenges with Pre-Printed Boxes

Diverse SKU Requirements:

• High Inventory Costs: Managing a wide range of pre-printed boxes for different SKUs leads to increased material costs and significant storage space requirements.
• Complex Inventory Management: The need to handle various pre-printed boxes increases administrative burdens and the risk of production delays due to missing or incorrect inventory.

Rising Operational Costs:

• Production Downtime: Frequent changes in SKUs necessitate production stoppages, resulting in higher labor costs and decreased productivity.
• Manual Errors: Manual handling of packaging often leads to errors, causing further downtime and rework.

Demand for Flexibility:

• Slow Response to Market Changes: Creating and validating new artwork for different SKUs can take days or weeks, delaying product launches and marketing campaigns.
• Sustainability Concerns: The need to scrap unused inventory from obsolete SKUs results in additional costs and environmental impact.
