Special advisory board to guide Printing United’s taxonomy project

Printing United Alliance, in partnership with I.T. Strategies and Zwang & Co., have made progress on the taxonomy project. A special advisory board has been created to guide the taxonomy project to ensure it adequately represents companies and the relative nomenclature needed to address the printing industry’s under-representation in government statistics, and help prepare the printing industry for growing business in the future, in all regions of the world.

Since officially launching the initiative earlier this year, there has been extensive support from industry thought leaders across a wide spectrum of the industry, including conventional and digital printing equipment and finishing suppliers, packaging converters and trade associations worldwide.

The group is targeting to approve the first version of the updated taxonomy at a meeting at Printing United Expo this October in Orlando, Fl.
