The other major product categories yielded some surprises. Fewer sales were posted this year for labels & tags, plastic products, direct mail and the combined category of envelopes/folders/stationery when compared to 2006. The decreases for the categories were $26 million, $7 million, $62 million and $232 million respectively. In regard to the combined envelopes/folders/stationery category, the discrepancy seems to stem from ambiguities with the “other” category, which had $513 million in sales, and consisted of filing systems, office supplies, office furniture, environmental displays, coupon books, software programming and prepress services. The overall decreases are more likely a result of reporting idiosyncrasies than declining demand, as most industry professionals consider these strong growth areas.
