Digital specialist Xante reports the number of envelopes its customers produced increased dramatically during August 2016.
The company says its Xante Impressia machines s created 107 million digital colour envelopes globally, as compared to 57 million during April. Robert C Ross, chief executive at Xante, says, “The growth in envelope printing has even been a surprise to us at Xante. We believe this impressive growth is not only from traditional business envelope printing, but more significantly, the invitation markets.
“The graduation and wedding invitation markets have exploded this season. Another market showing strength is the increase in political printing. We believe that market will show higher growth in the fall as we get closer to the elections. In the winter, the holiday card markets will pick up from there. We have significant installations of Impressias at nearly all the major vendors of online holiday cards. Last year, November and December showed drastic increases from previous years.”
The Xante Impressia prints on a variety of media, such as NCR, letterhead, cards, envelopes, forms, brochures, mailers, labels, and banners. Xante expects to see a continuation of growth in the number of monthly impressions and will again report results in January.
