The printing industry prints products ranging from newspapers, magazines, and books to brochures, labels, newsletters, postcards, memo pads, business order forms, checks, maps, T-shirts, and packaging.

The industry also consists of establishments that provide related services to printers, such as embossing, binding, finishing, and prepress services.

Commercial lithographic printing establishments, which print newspaper inserts, catalogs, pamphlets, and advertisements, make up the largest segment of the industry, accounting for about 40 percent of employment and 32 percent of total establishments.

Establishments offering primarily digital printing, which is the most technologically advanced method of printing constitutes the smallest segment of the industry - about 3 percent of total employment. Much of the work of this segment is characterized by low volume, often done by very small shops or freelance workers.

Another segment of the printing industry is quick printing. Quick printing establishments generally provide short-run printing and copying with fast turnaround times.

Printing is a large industry composed of many shops that vary in size. More than two of every three printing shops employ 10 or fewer workers. These small printing shops often are referred to as "job shops," because what they print is determined by the needs of their customers.
