Paper shortages can be a painful reality for printing companies. The current paper shortage can hit these companies hard, and, in most cases, it is out of the companies’ control. For the duration of the pandemic and even now, the weakening of the global supply chain means that these shortages of resources such as paper aren't going to go away anytime soon. This correlating to the rising price of timber has affected the paper industry harshly. The shortage of paper is creating a large issue right now for those in the paper industry, because acquiring paper with a specialized coating is becoming exceedingly rare, not to mention specific dimensions of paper being outright impossible to acquire. This has led to drastic changes in what size paper can be used for printing in bulk. With the demand for paper being so high now, it’s making more and more sense for paper distributors to look towards alternatives when it comes to making specifically coated paper in house, rather than outsourcing it elsewhere. What if there was a way to have your own paper treated with primer, without having it ever leaving the building?
