In this episode Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson join us direct from PacPrint 2022, and discuss the many businesses, impressive exhibitor stands, and exciting products and services they have seen during the event. The discussion also covers the large number of printing solution purchases made during the show, looking at what people are buying and why.

We also celebrate the National Print Awards and the Print 21 Hot Picks technology awards (LINK: www.print21.com.au/events/print21-lists-the-pacprint-hot-picks).

We then get an insight into some of the big stories in this month of print, including news of IVE, which has raised its guidance for all figures (LINK: www.print21.com.au/industry/industry/ive-expects-14-uplift-in-2022-revenue) and is setting up a super factory in Braeside in September. In other headline-making news, Ovato has sold its book printing business to Opus Group, which has added to the consolidation of the book printing industry within Australia. We round off the month’s review discussing the recent acquisitions in Melbourne, with Melbourne Mailing merging into Precision Print Group; and AMR Hewitts now part of Peacock Bros.
