June 2008 IPMG Recognised as the Top Gold Medal Winner of All Time
at the 25th National Print Awards

IPMG celebrated the Silver Anniversary of the Australian National Print Awards for outstanding print with the Group being honoured with eighteen medals awarded for its achievements in print quality over the past year.

Offset Alpine Printing and Hannanprint NSW were each handed seven awards on the night, respectively winning one gold, a silver and 5 bronze and one gold, four silver and 2 bronze medals.

These two companies shared in the honour of winning the most awards won by any one company on the night.

Craft Inprint Group also won a bronze medal whilst Sinnott Bros was the proud recipient of three silver medals.

This year’s awards also celebrated 25 years of the National Print Awards.

In a national tally to calculate which of all of the printers in Australia were amongst the Top Ten Gold Medal Winners of all time, not just one, but two IPMG printing companies were recognised.

With an incredible total of 43 gold medals, IPMG’s very own Inprint (now Craft Inprint) was very first on the list as the printer who has been awarded more gold medals for print quality than any other printer in Australia since inception of the awards.

Offset Alpine Printing was also recognised on this same Top 10 list, winning an impressive 17 gold medals.

In his address, Scott Telfer, Chairman of the 25th National Print Awards reflected on the great progress and innovation shown by the printing industry over the last quarter of a century.

“Twenty five years ago, our industry was very much manufacturing based, now we are part of the communication industry and we fit into alternative channels of communicating a message to a wider group of our clients’ customers.

“We are intertwined with other forms of communication, be it internet, SMS and so on. We are a communications vehicle that is dynamic and able to deliver information to a wider or targeted audience that was not possible 25 years ago. The quality of our medium has to be first class…

Print must be alive!”

Scott Telfer expressed his firmly held belief that it is every printer’s obligation to ensure that they excel in what they produce.

And at IPMG, excel we do, with eighteen National Print Award medals for outstanding achievement in print quality over the past year to prove it.
