AWAreness™ Report European Outlook for the Envelope Market 2010

This new study focuses on the important aspects of changes that are occurring, especially in the markets and materials used, as well as in the production and distribution of envelopes.

The report covers all types of preformed envelopes. Traditionally these are made with papers, but we also include preformed envelopes made with films. In addition, we assess the impact of alternative envelope systems such as plastic wrappings and business mailers; as well as alternative communications media.

The geographic coverage of the report is Europe. We have sub-segmented the European market into the following areas:

• Western Europe
• Nordic Countries
• Central Europe
• Southern Europe
• Eastern Europe

In compiling the data for this study, we have used our extensive contacts among envelope equipment suppliers, paper and film producers, envelope manufacturers, distributors and end users; to which we have added a thorough search of all available published information on mailing trends and developments.
