PrintWeek India award winners announced

PrintWeek India launched the PrintWeek India awards in February 2009 as an annual hunt to find print's brightest and best companies and rising stars across the country. The awards will become our annual celebration of India's dynamic and growing print industry.

There were two types of awards: the ‘Quality’ Awards which judge the quality of output from different sectors, such as labels, glossy magazines, catalogues and posters. The ‘Performance’ Awards judge companies on a wider range of criteria, including financial performance, strategy, capital investment and training programmes. This includes the PrintWeek India Printer of the Year, to reflect the tremendous strides taken by the print industry in India. Within the two award sectors there were a total of 21 categories. 

The awards were judged by an impressive jury of print customers and experts, put together by PrintWeek India on 31 July and we are pleased to announce the winners.
