Magazine Printer of the Year 2015: Park Communications

Like last year, judges called for the best magazines from business and consumer markets. And like last year, Park Communications won the category outright with its trademark quality of print, finishing and repro.

Judges took into account production and cost implications, of which there were plenty for Puss Puss. The magazine for culture and cat-lovers had the judges purring; a tight budget meant the magazine had to compromise on content or reduce the weight of the title. So, a mixture of papers included a bulkier uncoated stock with good opacity but less weight to ensure stunning visuals from a magazine delivered on time and budget, but with reduced distribution costs and no compromise on content.


Highly commended

Pureprint was again commended for work on titles ranging from ODDA Magazine, Eye Magazine and Cos. Needless to say the issue of the latter magazine submitted for the awards – inspired by a love of paper and the tactile pleasure of the printed page – scored a direct hit with judges.

Pro Hair and Beauty, a 25,000-run title for the professional salon services, spans the latest in beauty. The printer’s job spanned complex packing, perforated roll folds, special tints, pin-sharp print and great colour for a market where looks are everything.
