Kyle Jardine, BPIF Economist, said:
“Sustainability credentials are becoming more important in the printing and printed packaging industry. For the first time the Printing Outlook survey has included a section of questions related to sustainability, the intention is to attempt to understand a bit more about what actions companies are taking towards making sustainability improvements. Almost two-fifths (38%) of respondents have reported that they are measuring their carbon emissions. The full report has more information on what emissions are being measured, the tools being used, and identifies the most popular sustainability-related investment targets.”
Charles Jarrold, BPIF Chief Executive, said:
“Lingering and extreme cost pressures, combined with economic uncertainty and political instability, had eroded earlier recoveries in confidence. But now, despite the current challenges, companies are forming a more positive mindset on the short-term outlook for the industry.
“Prospects for later in the year still depend upon the UK navigating a smooth path through a period of continued high energy costs, stubborn inflation, and economic instability. Whilst there is no shortage of pressures for companies to deal with – inflation is still expected to fall sharply as we progress further through 2023, and energy costs are expected to settle further.”
Carlotta Basile, Production Portfolio Marketing Manager, Canon UK & Ireland, and sponsors of the Printing Outlook report, said:
“We’re privileged to continue our partnership with the BPIF through our sponsorship of its Printing Outlook report – delivering the latest trends to the print industry each quarter.
2023 has already been an exciting year so far with a number of products launched across our portfolio. The latest report has itself been printed on one of our new V-series devices, the Canon imagePRESS V1350, the flagship device in our colour digital cut sheet range. Offering exceptional performance, and the highest productivity, it reaches a speed of 135ppm on a wide range of media up to 500 gsm delivering flawless and precise results. We’re excited to announce that the new imagePRESS V1350 is now in our Customer Experience Centre in Birmingham and we’re welcoming customers to book in for a demonstration to see the benefits of this device for themselves.
We’d like to thank the BPIF and its members for this opportunity and hope that we can further build on our work together throughout 2023.”
