In as little as two weeks, we will be ringing out 2019 and it will be time to welcome a brand new year and everything it beholds.
2019 has been a fantastic year for us here at Photoline which puts us in good stead for 2020! So we invite you to join us as we forecast some of the most popular trends for the print industry that we expect to see in the new year...
Print Trends For 2020
Print is one of the oldest forms of communication and is still one of the most popular choices for businesses to opt for in terms of marketing and advertising their services and products. Over the years we have seen digital printing technology improve significantly with state of the art, smart devices allowing room for cost-effective, high-quality designs.
Personalised Prints:
Personalisation is an area that is consistently growing in popularity. Making the perfect gift whether it be for a birthday, wedding, anniversary or christening - it is classic and timeless. Two values that are worth any business investment. The brilliant aspect of print is that we can provide a personalised experience and range of products that you can see and touch, to bring your initial idea to life.
Personalised products can attract mass customer bases, especially in industries such as retail, hospitality and workplace offices. We predict to see the following personalised print products as a form of marketing and gifting material for both businesses and customers:

Inkjets, Paper and Packaging:
Developing and improving the quality of inkjets, paper and packaging finishing touches is a trend to look forward to in 2020. The creation of advanced inkjets that are able to hold quality inks that are jam-packed with colour is valuable to the printing industry in both a financial aspect and for customer satisfaction, along with quality labels, packaging and paper quality that are cost-effective and deliver a higher quality finished product.
Minimalistic Designs:
For years, many designers created with the intent that bold, complex designs were what stood out as most effective and caught the attention of the consumer. Less is more and a focus on clean, crisp images alongside the overall design is what we predict will stand out in 2020 print.
For years, it was thought that bold, complex designs were what stood out as most effective to catch the attention of the consumer. However, designers are pushing the less is more approach, focussing on a clean, crisp design to really stand out in 2020 print.
3D Printing:
For many years, 3D printing has been quite a niche market of print products, however with 3D printing equipment becoming increasingly more affordable and accessible, we are beginning to see a change. Although there will be an upfront investment to make in order to get your hands on the equipment, in the long run the future cost of offering the 3D printing service will be valuable as there are still a large number of businesses out there that have currently not capitalized on it, therefore it’s your chance to offer it first.
