The Year of Offset Alpine at the NPA

Two sponsors awards – the Heidelberg Australia Award for excellence in craft and the PaperlinX Award for excellence in printing – put the IPMG Sydney printer in the top spot for 2011.

Offset Alpine’s achievement sent industry watchers into the records to find out when a company took out two of the top awards, to no avail. The unprecedented achievement was won by a self-promotion production, Capabilities, created to demonstrate to clients the capability of Offset Alpine in particular and printing in general.

The heavily illustrated casebound book also won gold medal in both the Embellishment and Self-Promotion categories. Avon Graphics was responsible for the award winning embellishment.

In the other Sponsor’s Award, Momento Pro won the Currie Group Award for the most innovative use of imaging in printing for its production High Noon. The book also won gold in the Book printing, digitally printed category.
