In the latest episode of print's podcast It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from September.
We start off by reviewing Kwik Kopy’s growth vision and business model, following its shift in management and services. We then consider the four big trends coming out of Labelexpo, and look at the opportunities in packaging, and explore IVE’s intentions to enter the folding carton market. We discuss the ongoing ramifications of the judgment against native forest logging, with the Camerons Group purchase of Opal Envelopes, and assess whether the Covid trend for onshoring will stick. The travails of Australia Post and what its latest proposals means for the print and mail industries, and we finish with an appreciation of John Warnock, one of the few true print revolutionaries.
