According to figures published by the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) in 2017, the United Kingdom is the fifth largest producer of printed products in the world.
That’s even more impressive when you consider just how deeply companies of all shapes and sizes are embracing digital when it comes to the way they work. So, why is printing still so popular
amongst companies?
So many still embrace printing because they see it as the ideal medium, according to BPIF. It can be mass-produced for large projects or personalised for smaller communications. It’s a powerful and creative way to share information, and when done right, is a deeply immersive way to capture someone’s attention.
Print has evolved too and is now greener than ever. According to EEA The European Environment: State and Outlook, the area of forest cover in Europe is growing at a rate of 1.5 million football pitches each and every year.
The printing problems facing small businesses
Printing and document management, therefore, is big business. Especially in the UK where it’s a pivotal part of business management and key to helping brands take the next step in their wider
growth ambitions.
According to Government statistics, there were 5.7 million SMEs in the UK in 2018, representing 99.9% of all businesses. The vast majority of all of these companies will have needed consistent
document solutions in their daily activities to keep their business running, inform consumers, keep their workers briefed and much more.
Which can be a problem for a lot of small business owners and senior managers with little time on their hands. If they’re printing on a consistent basis then it’s likely they’ll have to constantly invest in new toners and cartridges; a practice that can hit their budget hard.
Even worse, if the printer breaks down or there’s a problem with its software that needs attention, it can grind a business to a halt. The best way to avoid this is by working with a partner who can seamlessly manage your document solutions in the background, allowing you to focus solely on running your business.
