MANUALS


Production of user manuals – Rotary printing, sheet-fed, digital


In a dynamic collaboration with one of our clients, Elanders has established an efficient system for the production and delivery of instruction manuals. Central to our collaboration is production planning based on client’s forecasts. We actively manage inventory levels and production volumes based on these forecasts, ensuring that the supply of instruction manuals aligns seamlessly with the evolving demands of the production line in the client’s production facilities.

Full range of printing solutions
Recognising the diversity in demand, we use a variety of printing technologies tailored to specific needs. For small orders, digital printing proves efficient. When dealing with medium quantities or specific technical specifications, sheet-fed printing comes into play. For substantial print runs, we leverage the efficiency of coldset and heatset web offset printing, selecting the method that best suits the format and production requirements.

Coldset and heatset rotary printing precision
Utilising coldset and heatset web offset printing for large-scale production ensures not only efficiency but also a high level of precision. The choice between the two depends on factors such as the format and colour palette, allowing us to deliver consistently sharp and vibrant instruction manuals.

Customised packaging and delivery
Our commitment extends beyond printing to the meticulous assembly and packaging of instruction manuals. Grouped into sets, each manual undergoes careful labelling and marking before being efficiently packaged. Timely and organised delivery to the production facility is obligatory for us, and our logistics system ensures that the manuals reach our partner’s manufacturing plant precisely when needed.

Supply chain
The success of our collaboration hinges on the optimisation of the supply chain. By proactively managing inventory and raw materials stocks, adapting production volumes, and ensuring timely deliveries, we contribute to a smooth and uninterrupted workflow for the client, enhancing overall operational efficiency. Our partnership with this client exemplifies Elanders’ commitment to providing comprehensive and tailored solutions. Through a strategic combination of responsive production planning, versatile printing technologies and meticulous logistics management, we ensure that instruction manuals are not just printed, but also strongly integrated into our partner’s production processes.
