Our June & July 'Shape up and stand out' issue is out now and while it’s stuffed with the usual insights and business critical info, it also boasts the 2021 Printweek Top 500 - the bellwether report on the industry's financial health...

Unusually, we feature one of the briefings on the issue's cover and over its three pages we get under the skin of the direct-to-garment opportunity and ask if it's the future of apparel printing.

While the June & July Knowledge Bank section is kicked off with a look at the rise in popularity of shaped leaflets as an effective way to create stand-out, business dominates the section with features on landing for an MBO, understanding your health and safety responsibilities and a how to guide on the Super Deduction capital allowance scheme. In the issue's inspirational Business Inspection, 4UK Group MD Chris Brady shares his diversification strategy.

The issue is then bookended with our Product Portfolio pages, which has a sharp digital focus.

Ottimo Digital reviews its EFI FabriVu 340i and Aztec Label provides the low-down on the BGM Elite DSR in our Me & my... articles, while Xeikon’s SX20000 digital colour press and the Konica Minolta PKG-675i corrugated press are the issue's Star Products.

While the technology feature looks at the B2 inkjet developments and Letterpress Services is lauded in the issue's Best of British.
