CELEBRATING THE BEST PRINT IN THE NORTHWEST

CONGRATULATIONS TO PrintROCKS! 2014 WINNERS

Yes, it’s true! We’re at year “7” and I hope you’re feeling lucky!!

Kudos to our friends, colleagues and industry peers who have found relevance and staying power after riding some monster waves, and are experiencing profits, growth and expansion. New markets, expanded services and a sense of hope continue to fuel PRINT and drive its emerging value amongst the digital noise. The board of directors and staff are fortunate to be able to serve the industry year in and year out.

This year’s PrintROCKS received 230 entries from 25 companies – all proud of the work they produced, both on behalf of their clients and to promote their offerings. We are thrilled to congratulate all those who entered, and excited to send along to the Premier Print Awards in Spring 2015 the first, second, third and honorable mentions to compete in this international competition.

Yes, once again, PRINT in our corner of the U.S.A. ROCKS!! No matter the shape, size, substrate, production method, ink or finishing technique… PPI regional firms know how to get it done! Congrats to all the entrants, their staff and clients who understand the value PRINT brings. Thanks for doing what you do!

Cheers,

PPI Association Director
