Yes, it’s that time of year again, and we are more than delighted to present to you, dear reader, the top ten postings for 2012 as created by total visitor numbers! These are the ten individual stories from 2012 that gained the highest viewing figures as recorded by our hosts at WordPress. As a postscript, we will also acknowledge the success and interest in the weekly newsletter Printing Industry News Digest, which has itself set new records regarding reader numbers. As with all of the very best “top ten’s” we feel the need to announce these in reverse order!

9. Benson Group’s first purchase of a Heidelberg Diana folder gluer for their Bardon plant received a fair few visits just last month.

8. Packaging production is in the spotlight at Benson Group with details of the Copperpot confectionary cartons getting everybody salivating for more. The product was successfully used as a very tasty sampler at the Packaging Innovations event in London.

3. Litho presses are far from dead, and Ryobi appears at number three in our list with the introduction of its latest B2-format offering the 760E.

2. Drupa has to figure large in the list of course, and the release that highlighted both the start of the event, and pointed folk towards our special Drupa blog got a lot of attention.
