Globalization: What’s the Deal?

What does it mean to you?

Globalization means different things to different people. Merriam-Webster defines globalization as “the act, process, or policy of making something worldwide in scope or application.” For printing and converting, it can be translated into more tangible terms. Globalization in the package-printing industry takes the form of changing supply chains, customers shifting their manufacturing facilities to other countries, and overseas competition from other package printers and converters. It can also encompass printing packaging materials domestically for overseas customers.
