According to one recent study, the commercial printing industry in the United States has seen a steady progress in terms of growth.
The report from WhatTheyThink's Dr. Joe Webb revealed that profits in the sector were higher during the third quarter of 2011. He said that while there had been some struggles, the industry experienced eight-straight quarters of growth
"For the last four quarters, inflation-adjusted profits were $3.96 billion, and finally exceeded the low level of 2005," Webb wrote. "These were the best four-quarter profits level since the four-quarter period ending in 2007, when profits were $4.3 billion, and inflation adjusted sales were $112 billion."
He goes onto write that the recession, which began in 2008, created many problems for those in the printing sector. From The Q4-2008 to Q3-2009 the industry lost a total of $6 billion.
Part of the reason for the growth could be due to better technology. Tools such as web-to-print and address validation software can help businesses streamline processes.
