After supplying the print trade for over 40 years, Presco has a lot of experience and has seen a lot of changes. We ask Tim Painter for his view on the future of the industry.
What’s happening to print?
At Presco we are really positive about the future of the print industry. There is lots of change and the print companies that are succeeding are the ones that are changing with the market.
Invoice pads, magazines, photocopy ser- vices, and so many things that printers once depended on, will never come back. But we are seeing so many new opportunities emerging.
For example, the move away from plastic packaging is massive for the print industry. Printed and die-cut packaging looks great and is, most importantly, completely sustainable and recyclable.
New products like this bring challenges; with food packaging we get lots of questions about adhesive tapes that are safe to use and can withstand the temperature variations. This is an area we excel in as our Guarantape range of finishing tapes is fully supported by the needed technical advice and certifications.
We are also seeing a revival of demand for quality printed marketing materials and even catalogues. Print has an impact that can never be replicated digitally. Technology also gives opportunities to offer personalised print, large format graphics and signage work that was once limited to specialists.
We believe that print has a great future - that is why we are making significant investments in products, technology and high stocks to sup- port Presco’s trusted reputation for reliable next-day delivery of print finishing supplies and double-sided tapes.
Suppliers you can trust.
