Kickstarting the New Year: Print Trends to Watch in 2025
As we turn the page to 2025, the printing industry is brimming with innovation and new opportunities. With evolving consumer preferences and technological advancements, print continues reinventing itself, proving its relevance in today’s digital-first world. At Royle Printing, we’re at the forefront of these trends, helping our clients create impactful and engaging printed materials.
Here are the top five print trends we predict will define 2025:
1. Sustainability Takes Center Stage
Sustainability is no longer a bonus—it’s a necessity. Consumers and businesses alike are prioritizing eco-friendly practices, and the printing industry is rising to the challenge. From sourcing sustainable materials to adopting energy-efficient processes, printers are reducing their environmental footprint. At Royle Printing, we’ve implemented various sustainable practices, including using FSC-certified paper, soy-based inks, and advanced recycling programs. Clients can trust that their projects align with their green goals.
2. Hybrid Print and Digital Experiences
The distinction between print and digital media is becoming increasingly blurry due to technologies such as QR codes, augmented reality, and near-field communication (NFC). These advancements enhance the interactivity of printed materials, enabling readers to access digital content with a simple scan or tap. For example, imagine flipping through a magazine and instantly being able to watch a product demonstration or explore additional online content. Royle Printing assists clients in creating these dynamic experiences, effectively merging the best elements of print and digital formats.
3. Innovative Coatings and Textures
In 2025, print will be focused on standing out. Specialty finishes such as soft-touch coatings, UV spot treatments, and foil embossing are gaining popularity, providing a tactile experience that captivates audiences. These techniques enhance the appearance and texture of printed materials, leaving a lasting impression. Royle Printing’s expertise in specialty coatings guarantees that every project is as stunning to touch as it is to see.
4. Flexible Printing Options for Every Need
Flexibility in print production is crucial, whether you are working on large-scale campaigns or smaller, targeted projects. Royle Printing’s advanced production platform can accommodate various sizes and formats, enabling us to bring every client’s vision to life. From high-volume runs to custom sizes, our capabilities adapt to meet your specific needs without sacrificing quality or impact.
5. Embracing the Future of Print
The print industry is evolving rapidly, and 2025 promises to be a year of exciting possibilities. From sustainability and personalization to cutting-edge finishes and hybrid experiences, the future of print is bright. At Royle Printing, we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve, delivering innovative solutions that meet the needs of our clients and their audiences.
