Sappi Fine Paper North America Underscores the Print Experience with 2013 Printers of the Year Call for Entries

Wednesday 30. January 2013 - Today, Sappi Fine Paper North America announced its call for entries for the 2013 North American Printers of the Year awards, a competition that recognizes print excellence and innovation across 10 categories for work produced on Sappi papers. Since 1999, the Sappi Printers of the Year Awards program has been regarded as the world's most respected accolade of excellence in the printing industry.

In addition to industry-wide recognition, award-winning printers may receive up to $20,000 in design support and 5,000 lbs of paper towards marketing and brand initiatives. Selected printers will also gain increased visibility with current and potential clients by being featured on their own page in Sappi’s Printers of the Year Online Resource, a unique database tool for designers, print buyers and corporations.
“In today’s marketplace, even with the growth of digital and social media, we see print as a more vital medium to the marketing mix than ever before,” said Patti Groh, Director of Marketing Communications, Sappi Fine Paper North America. “With each Printers of the Year competition, Sappi recognizes entrants that have raised the bar with their strategic and creative uses of print, and we strive to promote and support those who understand the impact that high-quality print has as a communications tool.”

For each entry, six copies of the printed piece must be submitted by mail along with one copy of the entry form.
