Paper
Or rather, difficulties related to broken supply chains and a lack of raw materials on the market. Last year was extremely difficult in this matter. The demand for paper definitely exceeds the supply. The pandemic, broken chains and the very rapid development of e-commerce have a huge impact on the shortage of paper and delays in deliveries. Additionally, paper prices are now much higher than a year ago. Experts predict that this problem will be continue until at least mid-2022. It is a huge challenge for a packaging printing house to ensure continuity of production for customers. At Preston Packaging, we have taken appropriate steps to minimize the risk of production disruptions. We know how important it is to ensure the continuity of supplies and we constantly monitor the situation. We are waiting for an improvement in the economic situation on the raw materials market.

Ecology and sustainable development
The word “ecology” has been inflected in all cases in recent years and has found its place in almost every industry. There is no planet B and consumers are aware that. Research shows that they are able to pay more for a product which is “green”. This also important for the packaging in which the products are stored. For this reason, more and more brands are paying more attention to being more eco. Packaging made of recycled materials and those suitable for further processing is particularly popular. Paper takes the lead in this matter. Ecology is not a trend. It is an expression of solidarity and concern for the natural environment. Preston Packaging offers raw materials that meet customer requirements. However, this is not enough. An important aspect is also the company’s activities related to production in accordance with the idea of sustainable development. Together, we try our best to do our business more and more ecological. Each of our employees is aware of the need to take care of our planet. We have implemented a number of different activities that have made our business more environmentally friendly.
