How the printing industry is dealing with COVID

How has the Covid-19 pandemic affected your business or industry? If it has opened new opportunities and helped you grow, you are one of the lucky ones. Many have not been so lucky.

Minuteman Press’ ‘Bounce Back SA’ Initiative

Minuteman Press has 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.

The owner of a Nashville Minuteman Press franchise, John Taylor, came up with a way to promote solidarity 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.
