White paper: The rising costs in print

Posted on 28/10/2024 by James Reffold

Even those who have “seen it all” in the print industry will have been rocked by the events of the last few years. Lots of lessons have been learned, and as this paper explains, staying ahead in the print industry requires a multifaceted approach.

By embracing digital transformation, diversifying services, optimising supply chains, implementing sustainable practices, and enhancing pricing strategies, print companies can better protect themselves against the economic challenges and inflationary pressures they face.

Access our free white paper: The rising costs in print, and discover how you can ensure your print business stays one-step ahead of inflation and other economic pressures.

The erosion of profit margins

In our latest white paper, we look at how the most innovative print businesses have adapted to the turmoil of the last five years, while also reducing their carbon footprint. We assess the factors that have eroded profit margins and how the most successful print businesses have navigated them.

We not only examine the strategies they have adopted – from dynamic pricing models to supplier diversification to automated workflows and beyond, but also provide a high-level view of the different technologies that have enabled these print businesses to reduce costs and consistently generate profits.

In this white paper, discover how:

Digital transformation is at the heart of the modern printing company

Diversifying revenue streams and offering new services is key to future survival

You too can minimise the impact of supply chain disruption

Dynamic pricing technologies ensure each print job remains profitable

The changing expectations of your workforce and the role technology play

Ensure your print business stays one step ahead

From Covid to conflict in Europe and the Middle East, runaway inflation and supply chain issues have seriously impacted print companies’ profit margins over the last half a decade. And this is at a time when all businesses, regardless of sector, are under pressure to reduce, if not eliminate their carbon footprint.

As a result, all print businesses, both in the UK and further afield, are having to make hard decisions to adapt and survive. And while the rate of inflation has slowed, print businesses still face many challenges to futureproof their business. And as we discovered in 2020, we never know what the future is going to look like.
