Benchmarking and Worldwide Market Trends for Flexographic Printing
This worldwide study will benchmark 2007 and provide drivers for change in flexographic printing through 2012 by region. The study will investigate trends in flexographic printing and will cover newspapers, packaging, tags & labels, envelopes, folding cartons, corrugated, flexible film and foil. It will provide data on the number of presses in use by width and market segment, run lengths by application, make ready, number of colors/coatings, and benchmark related consumables in flexo printing. It will evaluate trends from the packaging marketplace and provide a forecast of this market segment through 2012. LPC Consultants will complete this study for a late fall 2009 release.
