Bottling Industry’s Sticky Challenges
The bottling industry is known for its rigorous demands, from maintaining high-speed production lines to ensuring the long-term durability of product labels.
Among the industry’s greatest challenges are supply chain problems, bottle expansion, and creep resistance.
Supply chain issues can create unforeseen disruptions, leading to delayed deliveries and lost productivity. In recent years, supply chain issues have been a significant source of stress and concern.
When dealing with soft-sided plastic bottles or carbonated beverages, bottle expansion can cause labels to detach or distort. The creeping phenomenon, a slow and steady deformation under persistent mechanical stress, only compounds the issue. Not only can it compromise the aesthetics of the product, but it also leads to label loss and potential brand reputation damage.
The High-Stakes Impact of These Challenges
These challenges have serious implications for bottling companies.
Supply chain issues can halt production lines, leading to significant revenue losses and customer dissatisfaction. Bottle expansion and creeping can compromise the quality of the end product, impacting a brand’s image and, ultimately, its market standing.
In the competitive bottling industry, these issues cannot be taken lightly. Bottlers need a reliable solution that can not only address these challenges but also enhance the efficiency and quality of their production process. Many consumers judge products first by their aesthetics, and a displaced or detached label can be off-putting even before the bottle is opened. Since the entire purpose of a label is information and branding, not having a quality label can defeat the entire purpose.
