Yes it that time of year again when the ‘best of the best’ get suited and
booted prior to presenting themselves at the door of the various print
award ceremonies.

For any company to gain a nomination in the various annual print awards, speaks very highly of the skill and care which that company takes during its creative design and production processes. It is worth noting that these processes are often completed against a background of tight deadlines and time pressures….
Success in winning these awards not only serves as a vital sales aid for print production companies but equally are a major encouragement to staff within their companies to keep and increase pride in their work.

TPI thrives on the presumption that ‘if a job is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well’ hence we for one, look forward to this time of year. Individual pieces which we have worked hard to produce for our valued customers throughout the year are hand picked for submission with the aim of being nominated and hopefully bringing home the much sought after symbol of excellence – the Award itself. Two of the more prestigious awards at international and national level are mentioned below.

The POPAI Awards – otherwise known as ‘Point of Purchase Advertising International’ Awards for those of us who are not fully up to speed with the vast, varied and often confusing print lingo and abbreviations, recognizes excellence in the P-O-P market, a market worth in excess of £1bn per annum in the UK and Ireland. This year TPI proudly brought home the bronze for our Neutrogena Power Wave FSDU nomination which was previously referenced as a nominee on this blog dated August 28th 2009.

Open to entries from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland the Irish Print Awards are a key recognition of quality in the printing of newspapers, magazines, books and commercial print work. This year we have three TPI engineered and produced pieces that have been nominated for the individual category awards.
