Growth In Print Industry
There has been a considerable fight within the printing industry and different companies are striving for number 01 place.
Kyle Jardine, BPIF research manager, comments on the report: “Confidence in the general state of trade in the printing industry has taken a knock that it hasn’t yet recovered from. Whilst companies have reported some improvement in their output and orders, there is less confidence for the wider industry.

BPIF chief executive Charles Jarrold adds: “The Q2 report, in the immediate aftermath of the EU referendum, showed that confidence levels in 2016 have been lower than in recent years. There has been little improvement in Q3 – though a boost in Q4 is expected to lift confidence.”
“The print industry has shown a tremendous level of resilience and innovation; the climate is tough yet over half of respondents to Printing Outlook report that their own businesses are expanding. The industry is showing that it can be successful despite the numerous challenges thrown our way.

The industry is highly experienced in managing its costs carefully and that experience will be valuable as businesses face some difficult choices”
“Paper and board price rises – resulting from the devaluation in sterling that has been stimulated by the Brexit outcome in the EU referendum – is the latest challenge the industry is facing; it is not a new one. Some companies will be protected, to some degree, by their ability to target export markets; others may have paper price adjustments written in to some of their supplier contracts.
“However, many will have a decision to make about whether or not they can pass cost increases on in higher prices, afford to take the hit in their margins or look to mitigate cost increases through their purchasing or through efficiencies elsewhere in their business.

Park Communications Invested A Great Deal In Finishing
The London based company Park Communication has almost invested £200,000 for in house lay-flat binding and die-cutting.
The company contains 130 staff members and is growing rapidly. It has purchased a Kisun Digi Binder DB-440 and a Heidelberg SBD Zenith and they are installed in the company premises.

Alison Branch, the managing director of Park Communication explained that besides outsourcing these operations, they have brought in their own machine to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost. The firm said that they have rigorously tested these machines before bringing these in house.
Branch said: “A lot of our customers are in the property and fashion markets, and particularly in property they love to use double-page spreads because this really maximises the impact of the imagery.
“So property developers, builders and design agencies love lay-flat binding and we were finding there was an increased customer requirement and it’s much easier for us to keep the process in-house; it’s faster, more cost-effective, we reduce carbon emission and it’s just much easier to control the process.”
The lay-flat binder provides strength to binding as the binder sandwiches the two sheets and performs its tasks perfectly.
“The Zenith was brought in as we were finding volumes building up, so we said, ‘Right, this is the chance to internalise’,” added Branch.
“The BBC rang me and said there was good news on unemployment figures and they wanted to present those against the backdrop of a busy, efficient manufacturing facility,” said Branch.
“Their research team had identified companies that might be appropriate and through that they had identified Park.”
It is a good notion to have further investment in bringing up-to-dated machines in-house. It saves time and considerable cost for the company.

The managing director of Lithgo, Mike Atkinson, said: “We also have a Heidelberg ST300 but with both systems we can now choose quite late in the day which one to use. As the StitchLiner is quick and easy to set up it is perfect for short runs but its quality and robustness means it can also handle longer runs too.
“We liked the StitchLiner because it takes sheets that were planned in a such a way that they could be traditionally folded. That means we can plan work with traditionally folded sections. We looked at other solutions but they didn’t do that.”
