Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - The Binding Industries Association (BIA) has announced the call for entries for the 2014 Product of Excellence Awards. The Product of Excellence awards recognize the best of the best in binding, graphic finishing, and custom loose-leaf manufacturing.

For more than three decades, the BIA has honored the “best of the best” with the annual Product of Excellence Awards competition. It is the most respected award in the binding industry, the epitome of excellence, and a symbol of exceptional accomplishment.
