International hat trick for Offset Alpine

Offset Alpine Printing continues its winning streak with three Bennie awards, putting Australia back on the international print map.

Competing against 3200 entries from 13 countries, the NSW-based printer won three categories with a single entry, including high fidelity printing, self-promotion and the special innovation award for printing.

Garth Hackett, sales and marketing director for Offset Alpine says the team was very excited when it won the first award, but “there was a state of shock when we found out that we had won three.”

“We are very happy and proud of the result, and its justification for the commitment and hard work our team put into the production of the book.”

The thrice awarded Capabilities + book (pictured) according to Hackett, is a showpiece of special effects and techniques that not only demonstrates the teams skill, but also acts as a reference tool for those needing creative ideas for printed material.



“I think the win is also good for the Australian printing industry as a whole, as it demonstrates that in Australia we have the ability to produce internationally acclaimed printed products.”

Offset Alpine will have a representative collect the award at a gala event on 11 September in the US.

The Benjamin Franklin Award, AKA ‘The Benny’, goes to the best of the best in the oldest and largest printing competition in the world, the Printing Industries of America Premier Print Awards.

The three Benny statues add to the local printers growing collection of awards including the Galley Club Awards, National Print Awards and the NSW Printing Industry Craftsmanship Awards.
