Commercial Printing Outlook: Don't Rely on the Economy

As for 2013, the NAPL expects industry sales to grow somewhere between 1.0 percent and 2.5 percent. Where it actually falls on the spectrum is dependent on prices; a firming of prices means the industry will finish in the upper half of the range, Paparozzi says. As for the economy, Blue Chip Economic Indicators estimate the GDP will grow only 2.0 percent next year.
