imPRESS

Each year, print industry professionals gather to celebrate the industry and the accomplishments of those in it. Part of the annual imPRESS event is honoring the winners of PIAG's Print Excellence Competition, which recognizes and rewards printing, finishing, and design companies who combine fine craftsmanship, creativity, and cutting-edge technology in order to produce outstanding finished products.

In addition, we also recognize the recipients of the Benjamin Franklin Award and Emerging Leader Award, which honors individuals for their impact and contributions to the industry.

Gather with your peers, make new friends, and celebrate the outstanding pieces that have been produced in Georgia at this year’s PIAG imPRESS Celebration of Print & Showcase on August 14 at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast.

View photos and winners from last year's event.
