The Premier Print Awards, the graphic arts industry’s largest and most prestigious worldwide printing competition, recognizes outstanding achievements in print production. Suttle-Straus of Waunakee recently received four 2017 Premier Print Awards.
The Premier Print Awards are the printing industry’s oldest and largest worldwide graphic arts competition, hosted by Printing Industries of America. In its 68th year, the annual contest recognizes those responsible for the creation and production of superior print communications. The event promotes excellence in print communications and rewards companies and individuals who produce the very best in print media.
This year, more than 2,210 entries were received from printing and graphic arts firms from around the world, and judges awarded the Benny to the top entry in each category.
Suttle-Straus President Ted Straus said, “We are thrilled to be recognized by the international Premier Print Awards. Winning another Benny award reinforces our commitment to providing the highest-quality products and delivering on our promise of value to our customers.”
Michael Makin, president and CEO of Printing industries of America, agrees. “The Benny winners represent the best our industry has to offer. This year’s entries were outstanding. There were entries from companies in eight countries. Despite the fierce competition, Suttle-Straus, through hard work and dedicated craftsmanship, produced a piece worthy of the Benny.”
Suttle-Straus received a "Benny" for the following project:
GRESSCO GV PRO SELF-MAILER
This self-mailer features several unique finishing techniques, including a closed gate fold, creative die-cut shapes, and a UV dispersion coating to give it added dimension and intrigue.
