Report Description: The Printing – Commercial report helps readers assess the insurance needs of companies that print a variety of products (e.g., catalogs, magazines and other publications, directories, books, and also graphic designs for some items). Property and Business Interruption are the lines of insurance coverage that carry the greatest degree of exposure. Special exposures primarily consist of the large amount of paper typically found on the premises, which could help spread fires, and a potential loss of the building, printing presses and other equipment, which would halt operations for a considerable period of time. Related reports include Book Publishing – Commercial, Commercial Bookbinding, Desktop Publishing Services, Graphic Design Firms, Ink Manufacturing, Magazine Publishing, Newspaper Publishers and Online Content Providers, and Pulp and Paper Mills.
