Passenger handling collateral is not general print. It is regulated stock, produced to a specification, held to a compliance standard, and delivered to stations that cannot run out. This is the range, in the terms the industry uses for it.

The boarding pass and baggage tag stock used across South Africa’s airlines runs through this supply chain — more than twenty million passengers a year receive one.
ConsumeX was established in 2007 to produce long-run print for businesses operating across a national footprint — labels, forms, security documents. That is still the core capability, and it is what makes the aviation work possible rather than the other way round.
Not a procurement inconvenience. That is the reason ConsumeX holds its own chain from the paper mill to the counter rather than brokering somebody else’s — it is the only way to answer for availability rather than pass the question along.
And it is the reason the printed object can become a connected one. A token has to be printed onto compliant, sealed, serialised stock at volume and at price. A software company cannot get it onto the paper.
