The electronics landscape

Whether it’s printed circuit boards, membrane switches or anodised plates, printed materials are crucial for all electronics manufacturers. Securing these elements has become more of a challenge in recent times thanks to global supply chain issues.

Unprecedented worldwide chip shortages have endured since the pandemic, causing production delays in the electronics industry. Combined with supply chain disruptions caused by global events and rising costs of both energy and labour, manufacturers have faced numerous challenges.

On top of this, sustainability has become crucially important in recent years, as consumers continue to demand sustainable technology. It is expected that businesses use clean and sustainable technology at all points in their product supply chain, and as this expectation is only going to increase as we move towards net zero.

Bex Design & Print Ltd. – Overcoming global electronics challenges

With a number of challenges facing electronics manufacturers, it is important to select your print partner wisely to ensure you don’t add to them. Getting it right can help with:

• Rising energy costs: Tackle soaring prices by getting it right first time, every time – improving quality control to reduce the need for reworks
• Materials: With supplies scarce and prices on the rise, simplify your supply chain and ensure swift turnaround times by choosing a print partner that reliably keeps materials in stock
• Sustainability: Reduce environmental impact by bringing your print supplier back from overseas to a UK based supplier with green credentials. Control wastage by using a printing partner that uses pre-cut materials.
