Warrendale, Pennsylvania - Printing Industries of America (PIA) now opens nominations for the 2016 Lewis Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award. Established in 1950, the graphic arts industry recognizes the Lewis Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award as the highest honor awarded to an individual. The award pays homage to industry leaders who have gone far beyond standard obligations and become a significant force in shaping the business of printed communications.
