imPRESS Celebration of Print

Every year, print industry professionals gather to toast the industry and its accomplishments at the imPRESS Celebration of Print.

One of the highlights of the event is honoring the winners of PIAG's Print Excellence Competition, which recognizes printing, finishing, and design companies for demonstrating fine craftsmanship, creativity, and innovative technology to produce outstanding finished products.

Additionally, we announce the recipients of the Benjamin Franklin Award and Emerging Leader Award, which honor individuals for their significant impact and contributions to the industry.

Join your peers and colleagues to celebrate our industry and the exceptional work you have helped produce over the past year.
