Packaging Printer of the Year – Winner: St Ives Direct Crayford

According to the judges, Crayford demonstrated the holy trinity of print, packaging and client brief all coming together to create a truly original and outstanding finished piece. Never let it be said that the PrintWeek judges lack a sense of humour, as they were particularly taken with the printer’s Monty Python box set, complete with inflatable dead parrot. One judge said: “That was an incredibly impressive range of submissions – in each instance the packaging was truly innovative and the quality of the printing and finishing was outstanding, with clear care and consideration shown for all aspects of the projects.”
