Canadian Printing Awards Finalists

More than 200 industry leaders are expected gather at the Palais Royale in Toronto on November 10 to celebrate some of the world’s best printing produced in 2016. The 11th annual Canadian Printing Awards Gala, hosted by PrintAction, will also recognize four industry leaders as part of the magazine’s Industry Achievement Awards categories.

The 11-member judging panel used a blind scoring system, based out of 35 points across criteria like overall effectiveness, production challenge and printing defects, to determine the Top 3 entries across more than 25 categories. In addition to these printing categories, the gala will also recognize winning entries in Technology and Environmental Categories.
