New Stock Paper Valve Bag Inventory Has Arrived
Multi-wall paper bag manufacturers continue to face tremendous challenges in providing reliable, on-time delivery. Lead times remain extended due to..
The multi-wall paper bag supply chain has been disrupted to a degree not seen in decades. For veterans of the industrial bag industry, these are some of the most challenging times in the last 50 years.
Paper shortages, labor shortages, and shipping bottlenecks are a few of the conditions affecting manufacturers’ and distributors’ ability to make on-time delivery. Price increases seem to be occurring almost every month. Large commodity building products companies that use multi-wall pasted valve bags are experiencing delivery delays. For large bag users, this can mean running out of bags and shutting down production for days or weeks.
How do I avoid running out of paper valve bags when deliveries are late?
Shutting down production due to lack of packaging is a plant manager’s worst nightmare. However, this can all be avoided by utilizing Southern Packaging’s robust stock valve bag inventory.
