FESPA Digital Print Awards - UK & Ireland
Bronze – Point of Purchase – Plastic (4 Process)’
Digital Printing – Flexible material

Commenting on their success, Lascelle Barrow, joint managing director at Augustus Martin said: “To win one award at such a prestigious event is an achievement, so we are very pleased to win seven, especially as we were judged against the best in Europe. Over the years we have consistently won awards in recognition of the quality of our work, as well as for innovation. Although the competition is increasingly tough, the awards are a reflection of the level of work that we produce day-in-and-day-out for our clients, without whom we wouldn’t win anything.”

Augustus Martin was also named ‘Innovative Printer of the Year’ at the PrintWeek awards and has been short-listed for ‘Retail Printer of the Year’ at the up-and-coming ‘Quality in Print Media Awards 2007’.

FESPA 2007, the World’s largest exhibition for screen and large format digital printing, was held at Messe, Berlin between the 5 – 9 June. The exhibition featured 523 exhibitors and was attended by over 33,000 people from 121 countries.
