Why the printing industry wont yield to COVID 19


The COVID-19 axe is indiscriminate, falling on and causing the demise of many industries. It is even threatening to drive fairly modern technologies like touch screens, and perfectly sustainable initiatives like the use of reusable Bags, into obsolescence. With all this carnage happening around it, the printing industry is still relevant and refuses to be swept away by this pandemic. 





Minuteman Press, the leading printing company in the Centurion CBD is still operating. We are as primed and ready to serve as we have always been. Below we discuss how our services have remained relevant to clients in different industries.

How Minuteman Press is playing its part

Minuteman Press launched an initiative called “Bounce Back SA” to get South African businesses to band together and offer mutual support in their efforts to recover from this pandemic’s economic impacts. 
John Taylor, the owner of a Nashville Minuteman Press franchise came up with a way to promote solidarity and support among his neighbouring businesses. He decided to Print COVID-19 awareness Posters for free distribution. He then went one step further and created an online platform on which firms could create free listings.
