Anstadt was honored in the Custom Products category for its creative project with a specialty men’s clothing store to help promote unique gifts in the craft cocktails scene.

The Third Annual HP Inkspiration Awards Americas is a contest that celebrates best-in-class print projects using HP digital technology, including HP Indigo Presses, HP PageWide Web Presses and HP Scitex Presses.
