Abstract:
Today, the concern with how to raise the economic standards in Lebanon and how to perform the economic conditions is increasing. This research paper is concerned with the assessment of the importance of one of these industries that can contribute to the Lebanese economy and help in raising its standards if given more attention. This industry is the printing industry. In an attempt to show this importance and to uncover the special types of printings that play an important role in the Lebanese economy, fifty printers from different types, sizes and locations have been surveyed. The printers’ respondents have been either owners or managers. A fact which has helped in the submission of real answers coming from many years of experience. In the past, the printing industry had a very important role in the Lebanese economy. Nowadays, although less, the printing industry still has its role in the Lebanese economy. The printing industry should be improved and supported more. After all, the more a country is producing well manufactured, packaged and marketed products, the more it will be respected and desired and the more foreign markets will be opened in its face. As a result, the economy of the country will grow and prosper. Thus, many steps should be taken by the government and the special industrialists to improve the printing sector.
