The word 'printing' is used to describe a diverse industry that emerges from paper and paper products, then proceeds through to pre-press (all the work associated with the pre-printing phase), to printing and packaging, and finally post-press (binding and finishing services).

Over recent years, areas of the industry have incorporated the latest advancements in technology and have moved towards providing digital or electronic formats such as CDs and web page content in addition to traditional printed products. As a consequence, the term 'electronic media' has also become associated with the printing industry.
