Top Folding Carton Converters — Up Is Up

The results of this year’s Top Folding Carton Converters survey reflect the growth reported by package printers in this month’s State of the Industry Report on folding cartons, despite industry reports that the market is hurting. A majority of participants in the survey reported growth.

About 80 percent of converters said that their businesses grew in 2007, while the remaining companies said business stayed the same. And, 77 percent of participating converters plan to expand into new areas of package printing. This number increased slightly from last year. Most respondents reported that they would like to look into new end-use markets, as well as new folding carton processes.
