Painotuotteiksi

Painotuotteiksi is a Finnish case form, the translative plural of the noun painotuote ("printed product"). Morphologically it consists of paino- ("printing") + tuote ("product") with the plural translative suffix -iksi, and it literally means "into/unto printed products" or "as printed products."

In grammar, the translative case marks a change of state, role or classification; painotuotteiksi is used when something becomes, is turned into, or is regarded as printed products. For example: "Materiaalit muutettiin painotuotteiksi" ("The materials were converted into printed products"). It can also express purpose or intended outcome in contexts such as production planning.

Semantically and practically the term relates to items produced by printing processes—books, brochures, posters, labels, packaging and similar media. In publishing and print industry discourse, painotuotteiksi appears when discussing the conversion of digital files, layouts or manuscripts into physical print formats, or when categorizing outputs for distribution and inventory.
