PRINTING

During the past 10 years Hong Kong has established itself as one of the printing centres of the world, where top quality printing is available at substantial savings over other places. Australia is the terri- tory's biggest customer, mostly for colour book printing. Most of the smaller firms produce mainly letterheads and forms. The larger companies use offset and many specialise in books, textbooks, periodicals, calendars, diaries, specialised forms and industrial packaging. The Hong Kong Government has its own Printing Depart- ment at North Point. This department handles both a large volume and a wide range of government printing. It also handles all government contracts for out- side specialised printing.
