The Feb. 10 deadline for In-Print™ 2023 is days away. If you've never entered the only printing contest exclusively for in-plants, this is your chance. Your operators will be proud just to know their work was selected for entry, as will the customers who ordered those jobs. You owe it to them to make the effort.
In-Print 2023 is the only printing contest exclusively for in-plants. Jointly sponsored by In-plant Impressions and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA), the contest includes numerous categories for both “Offset” and “Non-Offset” pieces. Plus, several categories are exclusively for in-plants with 10 or fewer employees. See the category list here.
As a perk for IPMA members, their first three entries are free. Other in-plants pay a very low entry fee — just $40 per piece. (Compare this with other printing contests, which charge more than $100 per entry!)
Here are some tips to help you select the very best pieces for entry. View the rules and categories here.
