Business Management – Convergence

As printers continue to seek ways to best serve existing and prospective clients, diversifying their product offerings is emerging as a strategy to become a well-rounded supplier. In a recent webinar, two printers and a brand representative discussed how expansion into various packaging segments can provide a boost in sales.

With nearly 100 curated sessions, three half-day intensives and show-floor amphitheater sessions, the education experience at PRINTING United will address convergence in the printing industry.
