Trade Development


Welcome to Printing Industries trade development section. Our goal is to provide members with information, programs and links that can help their business take advantage of the opportunities that exist in overseas markets. Improving your international competitveness may not be for everyone, but there is enormous potential for companies wanting to broaden their markets - and its not always as difficult as it may seem if you know how to go about it.

Develop a global perspective

Trade development can provide previously unrecognised opportunities for Australian businesses, so please take a few minutes to read about our initiatives (see right). Let us know if you have specific needs or suggestions that can help us to help you. Contact Us.

Can we compete against Asia?

A research project to determine if, where and how Australian Book Producers can compete effectively with Asian based competitors has been completed. Results of the project will be compiled into a report to be published later this year. Each milestone report can be accessed from the International Competitveness Study link opposite.
