Backed by new research from North America and Europe, Amir explores how these long-term, steady transitions are reshaping the future of printing.He highlights contrasts between commercial print, which is adapting through automation, skill shortages, and increased investment per employee, and the growing labels and packaging sector, which thrives on consumer demand. Amir also examines how fragile supply chains present opportunities for print service providers (PSPs) to become critical partners in mitigating risks for major brands.Our discussion delves into evolving business models, where PSPs are shifting from transactional operations to strategic service providers, adding value beyond print. Amir underscores print’s unique ability to evoke emotional responses, building trust and loyalty in ways that digital media often cannot.Looking ahead, we challenge the notion of print’s obsolescence, exploring its vibrant coexistence with digital media, the role of AI, and the rise of service-oriented models.
