Re-evaluate materials, application, and process for cost-saving opportunities
In recent months, the labeling industry has faced a significant challenge: widespread material price increases.
While many vendors are simply passing these costs directly to their customers, we believe in exhausting every possible option before doing so. Oftentimes, with our decades experience, there is a better way to navigate these market shifts. At Liberty Marking, our philosophy is “Solutions First, Product Second.” Instead of accepting price hikes as an inevitability, we see this as an opportunity to innovate and optimize.
Our team believes labeling is not just a transaction, but a comprehensive solution that drives your business forward. Great labels are a byproduct of innovation, collaboration, and customization.
True cost savings are found through innovation, collaboration, and a comprehensive look at your entire labeling process.
The Power of the Labeling Audit
To help our partners mitigate the impact of industry-wide increases, we are offering complimentary labeling audits. The goal is to find ways to offset rising material costs.
When we perform an audit, we look at the big picture. This includes:
- Material Options: Is there a newer or alternative material that performs just as well but carries a lower price point?
- Order Quantities: We analyze your buying patterns and needs to identify “price break” opportunities.
- Contract Scope: Are your current agreements aligned with your present needs?
- Label Redesign: Sometimes, a small change in the layout of your labels can save your team time, money, and waste.
- Application: We examine how the label is applied. Improving the efficiency of the application process can reduce labor costs and material waste.
- Process Integration: We look at how labeling fits into your overall workflow to find bottlenecks or redundancies.
Our Commitment to Your Business
Problem-solving is in our DNA. You deserve labels that meet your unique needs, exceed expectations, and don’t go up in price without a thorough review first.
A thoughtful adjustment can help offset material price increases.
Next Steps
