Access Print Solutions, Acorn Press, AIW, Bambra Press, Blueprint Australia, Franklin, Lighthouse Print Group, PMP, Spectrum Print and IPMG were all honoured at the Australasian Catalogue Association awards as printers of the 2016 winners.
A record 722 guests were on hand at Crown Palladium in Melbourne for the 25th annual ACA Awards that recognise excellence in catalogue and letterbox marketing.
“The Annual ACA Awards is not a print awards, per se, rather it is a media and marketing awards night," said Kellie Northwood, CEO, ACA. "The entries are assessed based on their effectiveness rather than print specifications and this gives greater inclusion to the wider industry stakeholders including creative agencies and brands.”
