Much of the rapid change impacting on the industry is being driven by things outside of the control of the actual label and package printers themselves, such as globalization, consolidation, e-commerce, legislation, changing brand owner requirements, new ways of doing business, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), counterfeiting and piracy, widespread digitization, consumer trends in shopping and social networking, internet sales and the rise of private and craft brands.
