“We were astounded by the quality of entries this year,” noted Michael Makin, President and CEO of Printing Industries of America.  “The creativity, design and innovation displayed made the competition extremely difficult to judge because there were so many spectacular submissions. We encourage industry execs to visit the PIA booth at Graph Expo, where many of the winning pieces will be on prominent display.”  Congratulations to all the winners!

All Benny-winning pieces will be featured in a full-color publication distributed to 10,000 print buyers, as well as recognized in front of hundreds of industry executives at the Premier Print Awards Gala, held in conjunction with GRAPH EXPO 16 on Sunday, September 25 at the Hilton Orlando.
