Industry Eye: Seventeen Catalogs Capture Gold Ink Awards
Recognizing excellence in printing quality, Gold Ink Awards were handed out in August to 17 business and consumer catalogs.
This year’s catalog winners joined more than 1,500 entrants in competing for the 19th annual awards in more than 40 printing categories. Aside from catalogs, these include hardcover and softcover books, magazines, direct mail, annual reports, brochures and point-of-purchase displays. Entries are judged on the quality of print production, paper choice, binding, finishing and other measures.
The year’s winners “often push the limits of what can be achieved using the materials, treatments and available technologies,” says Noelle Skodzinski, editor in chief of the Publishing Media Group, which organizes the competition.
Edmund Optics Catalog Manager Gretchen Morris and Catalog Success Editor in Chief Paul Miller were among the 20 judges in the panel.
A complete winners list can be found at www.goldink.com and will be published in the October issue of Publishing Executive magazine. Entries also will be featured at the Publishing Executive Hall of Fame ceremony to be held Oct. 16 at McCormick Place South in Chicago in conjunction with the Graph Expo.
