The pandemic sure has shaken things around and put everyday behavior in a different light. What has been taken for granted for a long time, such as going to an office with endless printing possibilities, suddenly no longer has been possible. How has this affected people’s way of printing – and people’s way of thinking about printing?
Stora Enso and Multicopy present some new surprising (and some less surprising) insights on changed consumer habits and attitudes related to working location, printing, and paper purchases since Covid-19 entered the world, bringing new perspectives into people’s lives.

Key findings
Remote working can no longer be seen as a temporary trend – it’s becoming the new (and preferred) normal. While working from home in many cases means printing less, having a printer around seems to make people feel more productive.

We dare to say that higher consumer demands and a more sustainable printing culture are also here to stay – something that we welcome at Multicopy.

In 2021, the Multicopy production base in Nymölla mill took a step further in the fossil free journey, with Stora Enso entering a partnership with energy company Gasum.
