Point of Purchase (POP) Printer of the Year 2009

Augustus Martin Ltd won Point of Purchase (POP) printer of the year at this years PrintWeek Awards. The highly prestigious quality awards for the printing industry was held on Monday 19th October 2009.

“It's third-time lucky for Augustus Martin as it walks off with the top point-of-purchase prize after twice finishing as a runner-up in the category. Such was the impact of the motorised Ferris wheel display that the judges in the innovative print category tried to nominate it for their top spot as well! This stunning and innovative display gave Augustus Martin the edge as the most effective piece for quality and impact. The client wanted to create ‘theatre' in-store by producing a fully-working, double-sided Ferris wheel display unit and Augustus Martin delivered 100% on that goal, coming up with a piece that "immediately stands out in this category". 

"Due to the complexity of the unit, the printer worked closely with the client to produce a blank prototype. This ensured that suitable materials were used to enable the wheel to revolve correctly, while generating maximum impact. The unit was digitally printed onto 2,000 micron display boards using Augustus Martin's Inca Onset and then matt laminated. The Ferris wheel and pods were printed digitally on 10mm foamcore. The display was then CAD-cut and assembled, including a motor and batteries. The client reportedly "thrilled" with the outcome, as were the judges, who summed up the breadth of the entry as simply "the best - and by a long way".”

Augustus Martin was also runner-up in the Poster Printer of the Year.

“Augustus Martin has repeated its success of the past two years, making it three years in a row with this commendation. Its posters really stood out and impressed the judges with its bright vibrant colours alongside natural-looking content.”
