In-Print 2026 Deadline is Today
You're almost out of time to locate samples of your in-plant's best work and enter it into the In-Print 2026 competition, the only print contest exclusively for in-plants. Entries must be registered online today, and received no later than February 27.
Past winners have engaged their operators in the selection process, asking them to put aside five or six pristine copies of particularly eye-catching pieces. The manager then sorts through these potential submissions and picks the very best ones to enter. Your operators will be proud to know their work is being considered for entry into this national contest, a collaboration between In-plant Impressions and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA).
In-Print 2026 includes numerous categories for both offset and digitally printed pieces. Plus, there are six categories exclusively for in-plants with 10 or fewer employees. And the new Wide-Format/Specialty division opens up opportunities to enter extra large graphics, printing done on rigid substrates, stickers, magnets, vinyl lettering, engraved items, and much more.
Get your staff involved now and start collecting samples. You owe it to them to honor their hard work by entering it in In-Print 2026. Here are some tips to help you select the very best pieces for entry. View the rules and categories here.
