FESPA Review
expect customisation across virtually every category – which is pushing Print Service Providers (PSPs) to expand their capabilities and diversify their offerings. Sustainability has shifted from a
differentiator to a basic requirement. With rising consumer expectations and tightening regulatory frameworks, businesses across all verticals are expected to demonstrate environmental responsibility. Whether through the adoption of more eco-conscious materials or investment in energy-efficient technologies, PSPs are actively reshaping their operations to align with evolving environmental standards. Automation was also apparent as a
theme. As PSPs seek to reduce manual labour, minimise delays and eliminate downtime, automated solutions are becoming essential. From pre-press checks and finishing
to maintenance and job handling, automation enables higher-volume production with fewer errors and faster turnaround times. In an environment where speed, reliability and consistency are critical, automation is now a central pillar for remaining competitive in fast-paced markets.
