In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from March.

We start off the discussion by reviewing the major trends for the upcoming drupa trade show, with a focus on sustainability, connectivity, AI, the platform economy and, and automation. We assess why packaging will play such a major part of the first drupa in eight years. The discussion also gives us an exciting overview of the upcoming forums, the growth in textile printing, and we extend an invite to the Print21 ANZ drupa party at Frankenheim Brewery.

We consider Frugalpac’s request to manufacture paper bottles in Australia, we assess the implications of the return of All Flags and Starleaton, and the exciting return of Australian wine exports to China, which is excellent news for label printers.
