Start Saving Your Best Printed Pieces

You can't win an In-Print 2021 award without saving copies of your best work. If you haven't been saving samples, now's the time to start. Though the contest deadline is Feb. 28, that's not the time to start thinking about it.

Past winners have engaged their operators in the selection process, asking them to put aside five or six pristine copies of particularly eye-catching, complex pieces. Once February rolls around, the manager will get involved in sorting through these potential submissions and picking the very best ones to enter.

Your operators will be proud to know their work is being considered for entry into this national contest — 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, there are categories exclusively for in-plants with 10 or fewer employees. And this year we added a new category to include all those COVID-19 graphics in-plants have been so busily producing.

So get your employees involved today and start saving samples. You owe it to them to honor their hard work by entering it in In-Print 2021. Here are some tips to help you select the very best pieces for entry.
