Cranford, NJ -- ALL-STATE LEGAL was awarded two Best in Category Awards and 13 Certificates of Excellence at the 70th Annual International Engraved Graphic Association (IEGA) Awards Dinner held on July 11th at the Horseshoe Bay Resort in Horseshoe Bay, TX.

IEGA is a well-established and respected trade association for the benefit of companies in the engraving industry. The Association is dedicated to helping designers, brand image managers and purchasers find reliable information and sources for genuine engraving. Engraving is universally recognized as the best way to put ink on paper with maximum impact, to recreate the truest and most consistent form of color and to provide inherit security since it cannot be replicated in any other process. It also is considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly production processes due to its use of water based inks."

ALL-STATE LEGAL's 2008 Thanksgiving Card (shown above) won the coveted Best in Category Andrew F. Coppolo Award for Technical Excellence. Not only did the card's intricate` six color engraving and embossing design impress the distinguished panel of judges comprised of accomplished designers, it also became an instant hit with ALL-STATE LEGAL's client base. Many clients took the time to contact the company to thank them for the "art piece" and many others framed the piece and still have it hanging in their offices today.

The second Best in Category award was presented for Miscellaneous Items for Business & Industry- Engraved Supplementary Process for their client, Moore & Van Allen's presentation cover press proof that is both engraved and embossed.

"Winning two Best in Category Awards and 13 Certificates of Excellence at this year's conference is a tremendous honor," says Robert Busch, President and CEO of ALL-STATE LEGAL. "As an employee owned company, we collectively have great pride in all the work that we produce and distribute to our clients. As so many companies are forced to change in this business environment, our commitment and dedication to producing the finest quality engraving in the industry is even stronger than ever."
