The Print Files

March was a Big Month In Print


Listen Later

In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from March.

We start this month's episode by reviewing the federal budget and how it will impact the print industry, and especially the proposed ban on non-compete clauses in contracts. The discussion also explores the latest Smithers research report, which says dye sublimation printing will see soaring growth until the end of the decade, and we examine the latest print industry metrics and showing the continued investment in diversification by print businesses with packaging, warehousing and logistics, and finishing seeing the biggest interest from print businesses. We also assess the factors behind the sour taste left in the print trade by Bannershop’s rapid exit from Australia.

We wrap up with an overview of the upcoming first summit of its kind for the nine print trade associations, which has been called by the VMA.
