OPINION

Education – Answer to changes

Technological changes, leading by Internet, compel us to be attentive and updated about all trends on present communications in the market. We, as printers, are one more in this competence, reason by which we should ask to us: What and how are we collaborating with our clients to sell their products?

Carlos Hernán Aguirre Vargas, from editorial published on Impresiones del Mundo Gráfico Nº 36

[ SUPPLIER'S OPINION ]
Graphic people under stress!

Operators regret to be overcharged of work and they end for not having time of fulfilling those tasks they are appointed to. One of the sources for bad performance is the psychological lack of ability to accept and to live with change, that is to say, a new working behaviour, separating the important fact from the urgent fact.

By Thomaz Caspary, consultant of companies and director of Printconsult Ltda.

Latin American label industry: Caution and vision in the context of the economic situation | What is the outlook for Latin American label converters in the context of the current global economic deceleration? Industry experts have forecast sustained growth in worldwide production over the next five years; but does this scenario apply to the region's label industry?

Marketing opportunities for wide and medium band films | In tandem with current growth in the flexible container market, opportunities for converters are increasing. However, they also face challenges. With smaller runs and lean manufacturing projects, being creative about production methods, cutting waste and achieving faster setups is ever more important.

Online flexography for folding cartons | “The species that survive for long periods of time on Earth are not the biggest or the strongest or the baddest but rather those that best adapt to change. In a market of dramatic change for folding carton makers, converters who adopt tools - such as online flexography - that enable them to better respond to their customers’ new demands will be the survivors over the long-term”.
