Lawton Printing

When people discover Laura Lawton-Forsyth runs a printing business, some are surprised—not because she’s the company’s president, but rather that such companies still exist.

“They say, ‘Wow, I thought printing was dead,’” Lawton-Forsyth says.

“But print is actually becoming more relevant. Just last week, someone told me they used to do everything online, but now they’re going back to print because stuff gets buried in e-mail inboxes.”

Lawton-Forsyth is this year’s recipient of the Printing Industries of America’s Naomi Berber Memorial Award in recognition of her service to the trade group, including a decade on its board of directors.

Laura Lawton-Forsyth, president of Lawton Printing and File-Ez Folder, and past chair of the board of directors, Printing Industries of America, has been selected as the recipient of the 2014 Naomi Berber Memorial Award. She represents the fourth generation to join Lawton Printing, and has contributed to the success of Printing Industries of America, along with many other accomplishments.

Printing Industries of America is pleased to announce the election of its 2013 officers and board of directors. These executives are key industry leaders, and their involvement in the national printing association and their local affiliate organizations is invaluable.

The international networking meeting “Women in Print” will take place on May 6 at the Heidelberg “Sternberg Lounge” in the direct vicinity of Hall 1. The event will offer female executives managers from the print media industry a common platform to share ideas and exchange experiences.
