On top of the obvious health concerns associated with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, global lockdowns have interrupted supply chains and caused profound raw material shortages around the world. In addition to the pandemic, there have been a number of other recent factors that have exacerbated these materials shortages including:
All these factors have combined to lead to supply bottlenecks, distribution delays and increased pricing.
Global manufacturers of packaging products have been no less affected by the consequences of these events. Locally, however, Favourite Packaging is using all its available resources to minimise the impact of material shortages on our clients.
Below we discuss how we are able to draw on our many years of specialising in managing logistics, our relationships with global suppliers, and our warehousing to help our clients plan ahead.
In spite of the local impacts of global packaging material shortages, Favourite Packaging is well positioned to manage the situation for our valued clients.
We have long-term loyal suppliers in different parts of the world, who are all working their hardest to keep our manufacturing of packaging products for clients running as smoothly as possible. The advantage of having multiple global suppliers is that we are able to draw on multiple sources for our packaging materials.
We also have strong, longstanding relationships with our logistics and shipping service providers, ensuring we are as well supplied as is possible and enabling us to foresee future issues relevant to our clients.
We have a large warehouse locally, in Beresfield, where we are able to stock and distribute our packaging products as needed by valued clients.
The best possible way for us, and our clients, to deal with packaging material shortages and packaging product delays is to communicate and plan ahead. By helping us understand what you need as a client (or what your respective clients need) for the next 5 months, we can work together to best forecast and plan order/product volumes.
This is why we highly encourage all our valued clients to contact us and order now, to best prepare for any future issues with delays. In addition, we can help with bulk ordering plus staggered supply from our large warehouse.
At Favourite Packaging, our customers benefit from our experience and relationships within supply and logistics, meaning they are as minimally affected as possible in the face of global shortages. Our extensive warehouse facilities and expert team will work tirelessly to help our customers plan ahead. This includes working together on demand forecasts and collaborating to utilise our warehouse and distribution facilities.
We are leaders in flexible packaging throughout Australia and pride ourselves in going the extra mile for our customers. Contact Favourite Packaging to help you start planning your product requirements today.
