Terrabyte Screenprint won the Local Directories Best New Start-up Business Award. The company was a finalist in the Local Directories Best Emerging Business Award, last year.

Terrabyte Screenprint has developed a specialised four-colour screenprinting process based on leading-edge technology. Established in early 2002, Terrabyte uses a screenprinting technology developed by its directors that provides top-end garment printing.

The company, with 11 staff members recently won three gold medals and was highly commended in another three categories as well as being a finalist for the supreme award at the prestigious New Zealand Pride in Print Awards 2004.

The judges took into account how businesses started and looked at significant achievements in the development of the business and how the company sought advice and funding while recommending the company for the awards.

Terrabyte Screenprint understood the business market and its related issues and risks and mitigated that risk, they said. With business and marketing plans in place, effective internal systems and strategies for long-term sustainability, the company grabbed the top honours.
