The Printing Industries of America (PIA) has been around since 1887. They’re an industry-inspired and member-directed foundation. Their mission is to deliver services and products that enhance the knowledge, growth, and profitability of members through advocacy, research, educations and networking.

PIA MidAmerican created a Graphic Excellence award back in 1989 to recognize the outstanding abilities of print producers to transform paper and ink into outstanding forms of communication.

Over 2,200 entries were submitted for the June 2019 judging of the Premier Print Awards, the world’s most prestigious international print competition. The competition has over 300 categories in three different divisions. The categories reflect products such as: brochures, letterheads, direct marketing, folders, cross media campaigns and much more.

We won two PIA Awards!

This year we entered the Lee Vintage Modern Book and the Lee – Smiley Book, and we WON! We actually won two awards in the category of booklets, large format – digital (over 6×9).

We were able to attend the PIA Awards Gala with all the others who entered their awesome printing into the Graphic Excellence awards competition and see all the great transformations that they’re doing. It was a cool event and we’re looking forward to competing again next year. I’m already storing up my entries!
