[Chinese Packaging News] The large amount of wasted paper in printing has always been a problem for printing companies. In fact, this problem is not a problem that cannot be solved. How to save paper costs in printing? Let's take a look at the following.
1. Weigh paper prices
First, master the paper market dynamics. Understand the variety orientation and price difference among paper competitors, familiarize with the characteristics and quality of each variety, and keep abreast of their changes, know the latest market prices, know how to know each other, and win victories.
Second, implement a transparent procurement system. After the Shanghai printing publicly open bids, it will review and compare, sign the purchase and sales contracts, and publicly announce the bid evaluation and calibration results. This standardizes the work of the tendering process, which helps to save the purchase cost and improve the quality of the procurement.
Third, long-term cooperation and bulk goods. Try to cooperate with the printing paper supplier for long-term cooperation, long-term cooperation and large quantities of goods, he will be more willing to accept the price reduction program, and once the signing of long-term contracts, even if the price of paper rises once again rise, you can also ensure the stability of the price of paper.
Fourth, pay as soon as possible. If the paper distributors can get the money paid by the printer in a short period of time, they usually provide customers with a discount of about 10%. Therefore, it is best for printing houses to discuss with the print customers in advance so that they can pay part of the money in advance and save money. A certain amount of paper costs.
2. Reasonable storage of paper to ensure inventory.
First, a reasonable amount of paper stocks will be guaranteed, and papers with tight supply will be procured and kept in a timely manner. For papers with sufficient supply, storage and storage are reduced, and excessive storage results in capital occupation.
Second, set the consumption quota. Under the premise of a clear printing plan, the print paper consumption quota will be established. Specifically, in all aspects of printing, quantitative management should be implemented, and the cost control responsibility should be decomposed into each of the basic management personnel and front-line production personnel. Through the monthly workshop cost accounting, the standard of the workshop machine (workgroup) should be established. The number of printed papers is strictly limited. This can effectively reduce paper usage.
Third, strict control over paper data. Regardless of storage, or printing on the machine, it is necessary to count the counts of machine papers according to the type and batch of printed products to ensure that there are no missing notes, no notes, no fraud, and accurate records. Paper bank managers and workshop machines need to be regularly reconciled, signed, and supervised.
Fourth, set up a waste paper recycling center. Send someone to recycle waste paper, implement waste conversion and increase paper projects, set up a waste paper recycling center, and reuse waste paper as much as possible. In this way, the paper is fully protected and utilized, and Shanghai Printing avoids wastage. When the above measures are not standardized in comparison, at least 20% of the cost is saved.
3. Introduce innovative technologies Focusing on the development of new printing technologies, introducing innovative measures to improve efficiency and cost savings to reduce paper loss.
The introduction of the color management system is also the same principle, which greatly reduces the number of trials in the printing process and reduces the generation of waste paper. There is also the Digital Management System (ERP) platform, which has established a detailed and clear list of inventory materials and spare parts, standardizes the process of materials procurement, acquisition and financial reimbursement. The system records the information of each material's inbound and outbound delivery and information of each invoice. Greatly facilitate data statistics, analysis and assessment. The ERP system has a paper consumption assessment function, and the statistician can automatically summarize the output paper consumption table according to the output and the actual paper consumption fed back by the operator of the printing shop, which greatly reduces the paper consumption of the workshop and improves the work efficiency. The improvement of efficiency has resulted in cost savings.
