In recent years, driven by the steady growth of publishing, education, and branding markets, the printing industry has been accelerating its transformation toward high quality, digitalization, and environmental sustainability. While traditional printing techniques continue to improve, the adoption of new materials and technologies is bringing fresh momentum to the industry.

In the book printing sector, binding methods such as sewn binding, hardcover binding, and Wire-O binding are increasingly favored by publishers and educational institutions due to their durability and enhanced reading experience. At the same time, the widespread use of high-precision CTP plate-making and automated printing equipment has significantly improved color consistency and overall print quality.

From an environmental perspective, soy-based inks, water-based coatings, and FSC-certified paper are becoming standard choices across the industry. More printing companies are obtaining ISO quality and environmental certifications, striving to meet high customer expectations while actively reducing their environmental footprint.

Industry experts note that future competitiveness in the printing sector will extend beyond pricing alone. Key factors such as technical expertise, quality control, stable delivery schedules, and sustainable practices will play a decisive role. The printing industry is steadily moving toward a more professional, refined, and globally integrated future.
