CIP4 Announces 2008 CIPPI Award Winners

Print Plaza, winning Most innovative and Best in Europe, is a unique company that has five separate, but fully automated printing companies as its suppliers and collaborators. These printers, all previous CIPPI award winners, include Köller+Nowak, Druckhaus Berlin-Mitte, Mediengruppe UNIVERSAL, Kraft Druck und Verlag, and Tahnge Printing. With support from Hiflex GmbH, Koenig und Bauer AG, and Kodak, Print Plaza offers an online print shop that operates 24-hours per day, seven days a week. For printers, Print Plaza offers the ability to minimize or eliminate costs for sales, commissions, and administration, and simultaneously, win new markets with minimal effort. Customers can produce smaller orders at a competitive price, which are obtained automatically, and once they enter an order, the distribution of the job to one of the printers is based on product type, print run and/or ZIP code of the delivery address, all managed by a decision table. “Fantastic web-to-print project!
