But this is something that you do not read about in the graphic arts industry press. However, please understand that this is not a political or social statement, or a value judgment on my part. Of the 27, the only industry segments not negatively impacted by the Internet and One might ask: Why has package printing not only endured but has grown, when the Internet and World Wide Web has caused the decline of all other printing industry segments?
Of these 35 industry segments, 27 have traditionally focused on print. Printed Electronics and Functional Imaging Business Forms and Bank Stationery PrintingĢ6. Magazine/Periodical Printing and Publishingġ2. They range from long-standing segments, some of which are on the brink of no longer being active, to the latest and most vibrant segments that are defining the present and future of the industry.

A number of years ago I did a study at Cal Poly to identify all graphic communication industry segments.
