As well as printer of the year, Offset Alpine Printing picked up four other gold awards, including the Education and Training Initiatives business award.
Robert Fuller, general manager NSW, national operations manager for Printing Industries says the contributing factor to Offset Alpine’s win was the combination of business and printing recognition.
He says, “The awards were nothing short of brilliant and defiantly one of the best so far. Offset Alpine demonstrated a high standard across the board, not just the quality of its printing but also the application of its business.”
Three other Sydney printers were also highly decorated on the night with Pettaras Press, Sydney Allen Printers and Digital Press all receiving multiple gold awards.
The majority of the state awards have now been completed with the Victorian awards to be held tonight and the Queensland awards to be held at the end of the month. Each of the gold winners will automatically be entered into the national awards to be held in May next year.
