New Zealand’s premier printing industry awards event revamped its entry categories this year, with 11 awards now included in an expanded Sign and Display section and a boost in the Structural Design Packaging and Labels categories.
“The judges once again will have their work cut out for them... some seriously impressive work has come in across all areas,” Archibald says. “The changes to the 2020 categories seem to be a hit - printers across all spectrum of the print industry have good options for entry areas for their products.
“At this point the label area is up on last year and currently it’s not the wine label entries that are leading the charge - the food and beverage area is looking quite exciting and some of the entries in this area are really stunning - I know the label judges found last year tough...well. I would think this year they might find the quality has further advanced.”
“The new Structural Design Packaging area has also attracted new players and some really exciting work, and currently the Innovation and Business Development area is also ahead of last year, which bodes well for the Industry moving forward. It’s always great to see what new innovations people are working with and while the numbers were lower in 2019, the trend seems to have reversed for 2020.”
Entry is still open and closes for all work on 28th February.
