In a world increasingly dominated by digital communications, the printing industry has persevered, adapted, and thrived. Each year, International Print Day offers a global platform to celebrate the resilience, innovation, and sustainability efforts of this sector. The theme for International Print Day 2023 is #PrintConnects, emphasizing the significance of reconnecting with global brands and embracing sustainability in an ever-evolving market as well as underscoring the importance of the UK print and packaging industry in fostering connections among global brands. It’s a timely theme as the industry grapples with evolving sustainability legislation and ongoing logistical challenges.

The UK’s print and packaging sector has long been known for its technical prowess and innovation. It plays a pivotal role in the global supply chain, producing the materials that package and promote a wide array of products.

As sustainability regulations continue to tighten across Europe and the world, the printing and packaging industries must navigate both challenges and opportunities. International Print Day 2023 provides a unique occasion to emphasize our commitment to sustainability and engage with European and global brands. It’s a moment for our industry to show that it’s not only keeping up with sustainability efforts but also leading the way.

Heaford, a prominent player in the UK print sector, has been at the forefront of the sustainability movement.

David Muncaster, Managing Director at Heaford, recognises the significance of International Print Day 2023 as a global stage for the industry. He notes, “We’re moving into a golden age of print, particularly when it comes to sustainability awareness and legislation, but with that comes mounting challenges – and the UK print and packaging industry has a vital role to play.

In a world that is increasingly aware of the environmental impact of every industry, the print and packaging sector is stepping up to the challenge. International Print Day 2023 is an occasion to celebrate their achievements and their commitment to a sustainable future.”
