2024 Advocacy Wrap-Up

PRINTING United Alliance's Government Affairs team had a productive year, advocating on several fronts to protect and advance the interests of the printing industry in the U.S. The printing industry’s role as a major economic driver was emphasized in advocacy campaigns. Contributing over $100 billion annually and employing 380,000 workers, the industry’s ties to the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector further underscore its importance, with the latter adding $2.5 trillion to GDP and over 22 million jobs. Advocacy has emphasized these contributions to secure supportive policies from Congress and the administration.
