Raw Material Delays (February-2021)

The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply chain delays never seen before. Increased label, tag and thermal transfer ribbon demand has plagued raw material suppliers with delays and setbacks.

These events continue to affect our lead times and extend them beyond our standards. Globally, the entire label industry is experiencing extended lead times on stock and specialty labels as well as thermal transfer ribbons.  We have made many moves to increase capacity and stock, but also request to our clients to plan ahead as well as possible.

What Can You Do?

Check your inventory and advise us if you have increased demand.

Did You Know?

  • We stock custom labels and tags for our client to ship on demand

  • We will hold stock labels, tags and ribbon inventory for clients based on their requirements.

Contact your sales representative anytime or request a meeting online to discuss your requirements in 2021 and beyond.
