As an essential component of the CPG supply chain, demand for self-adhesive labels and narrow web packaging already peaked during the Covid19 crisis, but with the rapid general economic revival since last year, demand for labels and packaging materials has continued to boom into 2022, as confirmed by FINAT\u2019s latest RADAR report released in December. The lack of availability of labels and packaging is likely to hit a wide range of final consumer industry sectors such as food and beverages, health and personal care, medical and pharmaceutical products, chemicals, logistics and retail, consumer electronics, automotive and other sectors, thereby harming the general economic rebound.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72979\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-72979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Jules-Lejeune-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Jules-Lejeune-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Jules-Lejeune-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Jules-Lejeune.jpg 346w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-72979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jules Lejeune<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cUntil Christmas, we were hopeful that the supply disruptions could turn out to be a temporary adjustment phenomenon, but the present situation demonstrates the vulnerability of an entire sector already operating at the limits of its restricted capacity, from a single incident like a union strike. Given the present lead times, it is now likely that we could face these shortages for the remainder of the year, with far reaching consequences for the general economy. The past few days I have been receiving comments from members from around Europe who are all very deeply concerned about the dependency of the supply chain on just a few key suppliers. We are calling upon all parties concerned to make every effort in ensuring a sustainable supply of label and base papers both in the short and in the long run\u201d,<strong> comments Jules Lejeune FINAT Managing Director.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following earlier reports by FINAT about the impact of the tight supply chain conditions on the industry\u2019s outlook for 2022, the continued union strike in some Nordic paper mills is posing severe lead time problems to European label converters.
