Digital scanning has taken the printing industry by storm, and presently with handheld Internet devices and email are also being used in the printing industry, which makes us question: will all printing companies be capable of competing with this newer kid on the block?

All likely no is the most probable reply.

Printing Brisbane conducted a analysis of an online research of printing companies available on Google and Yahoo, and an astounding 11 pages of printing companies came up. About 10 % of those companies are most likely to disappear over the next year as the printing pie persists on shrinking.

The companies in all likelihood fall by the wayside of those who make a higher volume, vast colour range catalogues and brochure lines. Due to new legislation in place, now shareholders do not have to be apprised, which has been a terrible blow to the high volume printing industry.Likewise, brochure and folder markets have had to endure a hard hit due to more people preferring to utilize emails and websites as a way to diffuse information.

The Queensland floods that destructively hit in 2011 have also destroyed many printing companies in Brisbane, making recovery slow, since scores did not have flood insurance.More than half a dozen larger print houses never reopened as their machinery was too damaged.This decline in competition was a major business boost, for those printing companies still in business in Brisbane.

Due to all of this, several companies were able to do accordingly excellent in the printing market in Brisbane.Those mini Brisbane printing companies, that are focused on spot colour work , shorter run full colour work, multipart books and basic stationery, are going along quite nicelywell.
Mid to large size Printing Brisbane companies almost disappeared, for competition was too much and due to investing so much money in multihead, full colour printing presses that were high-priced and had complicated finishing machinery-profit margins plummeted. Probably, this particular situation probably will stay the fixed, because of low printing volumes.

However, the situation is not as bleak as originally portrayed, for there is major hope as mining and related industries have assumed a multi-billion dollar book project, which has kept the printing presses in operation for Printing Brisbane.Many of these said establishments have selected Brisbane to do their printing, foregoing other interstate printers. Also, the coming Queensland elections and Gold Coast council elections have arranged additional volumes of work.
In the long run, the printing industry must come up with newer printing product and services markets, otherwise, they will face even more difficult times.There are ideas being talked about to activate more volume through direct marketing as the cyberspace also becomes more competitive and crunched and sending people mail is looking worth it again.

In reality, though, just look through the Yellow Pages under Printing Brisbane and count the number of listings that have dropped off over the last several years to get a good estimate of the changes being faced by the local printing industry.

There will be survivors, but there will be plenty of pain as the industry conforms to the new digital world.
