Nine Sappi International Printers of the Year for 2006 Announced

The nine Sappi International Printers of the Year for 2006 were chosen from 33 finalists in the following categories: annual reports, books, brochures, calendars, catalogues, general print, magazines, packaging and labels and printers own promotion. Held annually, this year the awards attracted more than 7,000 entries from all over the world. The judges worked to a strict set of technical criteria, focusing on production qualities, whilst taking into account the overall balance and appeal of the printed work and whether the combination of design, finishing and the choice of materials was appropriate. With all the finalist entries being of such high standard, the ultimate winners were those that stood out for the judges as having that extra appeal and extra attention to the finest detail.
