Printing Global Market Report 2025
Printing is a technique that involves applying a specific amount of coloring agent onto a chosen surface to produce text or artwork. Modern methods of text and image reproduction no longer rely on the mechanical concept of pressure or the traditional notion of coloring agents. Printing is a service utilized for producing various products such as newspapers, books, labels, business cards, stationery, business forms, and other materials.
The primary types of unfinished paper include paper, paperboard, and newsprint. Paper and paperboard are described as matted or felted sheets, typically made from plant fibers, including those from trees or recycled paper and paperboard waste (such as corrugated cases, newsprint, sacks, bags, and cartons). These materials find applications in wrapping, bags, sacks, cartons, tubs, lids, molded fiber packaging, and backing cards. The production of unfinished paper involves methods such as mechanical pulping, chemical pulping, and combined processes. Various industries utilize unfinished paper, including the food industry, agricultural sector, chemicals, building materials, and others.
