COMMENT

 

The  packaging  and  printing  industry  experienced  a  30%  revenue  fall  from   previous year  due  to  the  rising  costs  of  raw  materials.

 

The  steep  decline in  local  consumption  also  contributed  to  the  revenue  dropped  sharply.   Citing  research  in  domestic  market,  it  was  also  a  myth  that  young  people  don  not  read  printed  matter  due  to  they  have  turned  to  digital  reading  like  internet.

 

However,  many  companies in  the  industry  would  focus  on  packaging    for  food  and  consumer products.     

 

The  subject  is  doing  slow down  business  and  focusing  on  packaging  industry  which  could  maintain  its  business.
