As a wholesale supplier, we understand that our customers prefer to market our products with their own brand. To do so is simple:
'Best of Category' Label
Award of Excellence Labels and Envelope
Certificate of Merit Envelope
For 9 years running, we received a 2017 PEAK Award for 2 outstanding envelope products. In addition, we earned 5 Graphics Excellence Awards this year in label and envelope categories. This winning 9-2-5 combination means a lot to us because these products are all ones we created for customers like you.
The Print Services & Distribution Association (PSDA) PEAK Awards program recognizes excellence in the print industry by promoting projects that display innovation, notable quality or produce high return on investment. We were awarded for our “Rise & Shine” entry. This two-envelope piece appeared in our Summer 2016 issue of our Inside the Envelope & Label customer newsletter. The outer 6.5 x 9” envelope was a sheet-fed offset with a velvety Soft Touch coating. Inside featured a mini, pop-up envelope as an example for a USPS Tactile, Sensory and Interactive (TSI) Promotion. The mini envelope was converted and printed with metallic purple 8825 + spot varnish over metallic gold 871 on an 80# stock.
The Graphics Excellence Awards (GEA) competition is one of the nation’s largest printing competitions. At the 2017 GEA event, we won 1 Best of Category Award, 3 Awards of Excellence, and 1 Certificate of Merit.
Our Best of Category Award was for Enki Brewing’s Tailfeather IPA product label with a soft, non-glare finish. It’s ideal for cosmetic or beverage labels that demand a high-end appearance and durability. The 3 Awards of Excellence were for: 1) Schneider Electric Glow-in-the-Dark Label; 2) Creekwood Farms Honey Label; and 3) our “Rise and Shine” Soft Touch outer envelope. Our last GEA was a Certificate of Merit for a “Map Your Road to Success” 2017 Calendar Envelope for our customers.
This recognition wouldn’t be possible without valued partnerships we share with our customers. It’s a testament to the fact that when we put our "Your Message is Our Mission" tagline into action, amazing results follow.
