2025 Wage + Benefits Survey

Backed by a bold new brand and an expanded feature set, the Wage + Benefits Survey — conducted by America’s Printing Association Network (APAN) and administered by PIA MidAmerica on behalf of more than 3,500 print manufacturer members — will open June 11, 2025 for participation. The survey is available at portal.printindustries.org, where companies can submit data securely and efficiently.

With data representing more than 15,000 employees across 400 firms, the survey remains the industry’s largest and most in-depth compensation benchmarking tool, capturing wage data for over 200 roles and a wide range of policies—from PTO and insurance to shift differentials and HR trends.

“In a market where talent is hard to find—and harder to keep—access to credible, timely compensation data is no longer optional,” said Teresa Campbell, program director and president of PIA MidAmerica. “This data gathered in this survey gives print and packaging employers real power to compete: smarter offers, better planning, and policies that match today’s workforce. And they’re not alone — association leaders offer guidance and resources to help companies define smart, consistent compensation strategies.”

The 2025 edition continues to build on recent enhancements, including:

• Auto-fill support using prior year data
• Multi-location support for large operations
• Streamlined portal experience with interactive searchable data analytics for participating firms
• Detailed reporting by region, firm size and industry segment

Participation is free, and the insights are invaluable. For access to the survey or assistance in participating, visit portal.printindustries.org or contact your APAN representative. Questions may be directed to Teresa Campbell at 800-788-2040 or TeresaC@piamidam.org.
