Printing Arts Press powered by PROforma is proud to announce Awards won from the Printing Industry affiliate Graphic Media Alliance Print Excellence Awards for Calendars, Digital Books and Magazines: 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze.
Graphic Media Alliance President, Jim Cunningham, stated how impressed the judges were with our members’ incredible and creative work in such a difficult year due to the pandemic. “If there is one thing to take away from 2020, it is that our industry is more essential than ever. Printing helps keep commerce going, keeps products on shelves, keeps important safety communications alive and election ballots secure (CISA.gov/News). During the Pandemic Print Label sales were up 30% with Print Packaging sales up 64%.” Printers and print packagers have been specifically included as essential workers in the updated Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce by the United States Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency ( CISA.gov ) released on April 17, 2020.
All of the Gold Award Winners in the Regional Competition are entered in an Association competition for the Best of Category and Best of Show prizes that will be awarded in September at the 2021 Grand Ceremony Sponsored by Millcraft Papers. The Millcraft Paper Company is committed to the support of sustainable forest management and thereby adheres to both the Forest Stewardship Council® ( FSC.org ) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® ( Forests.org ) Chain-of-Custody Standards in providing responsibly sourced paper products.
