The online printing market reached 190.2 billion yen in 2024, marking three consecutive years of growth. Specifically, the label printing sector is an expanding market valued at 14.3 billion yen. With the rise of SNS-driven marketing, there is an increasing demand from small business owners and independent shops to design their own packaging. However, barriers such as required skills, time, and costs remain significant challenges. King Jim's survey revealed that over 60% of production-related issues stem from design, with approximately 43% of respondents citing a lack of design skills or knowledge.
In response, King Jim is launching 'TEPLABO,' targeting businesses such as restaurants and variety stores. Since the 1988 debut of the 'Tepla' label maker, the company has spent 38 years addressing information display in various settings.
