In-plant Purchasing Decisions in a Recession

Key Findings

While the current economic climate has impacted the printing industry as a whole, in-plants are actually weathering the storm far better than their commercial counterparts. When factoring all survey respondents from print-for-pay and print-for-cost, overall revenue in 2008 was down 1 percent over 2007. Print-for-pay respondents bared a larger decrease in revenues, with declines reaching 1.2 percent, compared to that of in-plants achieving a 0.2 percent decline.
