Pride In Print awards organisers say that printing industry managers should view the awards as a passport to possible international marketing success and global exposure.
Sue Archibald, manager Pride In Print Awards, cited the experience of Auckland-based firm Logick Print & Graphics last year as an example of where Pride In Print success can lead, showing the potential marketing opportunity that the awards offer. She said, “Think of the value that firms get from the PR associated with such international recognition. The worth is enormous, and this all can accrue from just a $60 entry into Pride In Print. I strongly recommend firms to use these last few days to assemble their entries before the main deadline at the end of this week.”After becoming a supreme finalist in the packaging section of last year’s awards, Logick’s NZ Rox Jewellery Box went on to win a top prize at the world’s premier packaging awards, the Pentawards in Monaco. While now on display, until the end of February, at the Paris DesignPack Gallery (very close to the Louvre), the Rox Box also spent time on show in Shanghai.
Archibald says, “There will be a late entry opportunity at the end of February but it will save time and money to get the bulk of entries in now.”
Open for materials printed in New Zealand between January 1 and December 31, entries may come from any printing process, and made by any person or company associated with the production or purchase of print.
