Skanem India | Label Services

Portfolio optimisation

Skanem's portfolio optimisation service helps you to reduce complexity in label design at an early stage so that the label portfolio becomes more cost-effective. We optimise the following to achieve a faster and smoother printing process.

Colour optimisation

We work with you to reduce the colour template to either CMYK or a fixed 8-colour template. The benefits are reduced setup time, reduced cost, optimised print process, effective prepress and artwork management.

Minimising variants

When the label portfolio includes multiple design elements and label sizes, it might be possible to standardise some of them, thereby reducing the number of variants needed. We will create alternatives for you to compare and approve.

Warehouse management

Skanem's warehouse management is custom made for each customer based on their unique needs. We have long experience in handling our customers’ warehouse to secure and optimise inventory utilisation. You get shorter lead times and reduced costs. We take responsibility for printed labels to be ready when needed.

VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory)

We will handle your stock as per your requirements. This can either be at a Skanem site, at your facility or through a Near Site Warehouse with an external logistic provider.

We make it cost-effective

By centralising all in one warehouse, cost and inventory control will be optimised.

Proper storage

The warehouse will meet proper storage conditions; packing needs as well as any special needs that you might have.

Full connectivity

We will secure full connectivity between your plant, the warehouse and the Skanem factory.

Optimised delivery

We can optimise bulk transport from Skanem's factory to the warehouse. We can also pick and pack for delivery direct to your production line, so no intermediate stock in your factory is needed.

Supply Chain Management

This is a tailor-made tool for label production based on well-known ABC and stock management principles. We optimise the production series to be the most cost-efficient for the entire portfolio.

Reduced stock

We ensure that you always have the correct label at hand without building too high stock and risk of write-offs.

Quick turnaround

With the use of digital printing, we can optimise stock even further for a quick turnaround in case of emergency codes. We can also minimize risk with phase in and out of new designs.

Optimised supply chain

Combining our logistic solutions with a Near Site Warehouse will give you an optimised Supply Chain for your label portfolio.
