In-plant Events

Exposition industry publisher Trade Show News Network has named the SGIA Expo to its Top US Trade Shows of 2017.

Earlier this month, the University of Virginia's Printing & Copying Services department hosted an in-plant event that drew nearly 35 people to its Charlottesville facility.

More than 440 entries poured into the In-Print 2018 contest. Our five judges recently inspected all of them and picked 73 Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. Here's an inside look at what it was like.

Judges recently picked 73 winners in the In-Print 2018 contest. They include a number of in-plants that never entered the contest until this year.

After a long day of judging, the winners of the In-Print 2018 contest were selected on Monday. One in-plant dominated the competition, winning eight awards, including four Gold awards. In addition, several first-time entrants won multiple awards.

In-Print 2018, the only printing contest exclusively for in-plants, had an entry total of 442. On Monday, those pieces will be judged for their print quality.

Frisco Independent School District's in-plant turned the launch of a testimonial video into an awareness, promotional and employee-engagement opportunity during in-plant awareness month.

IPG and IPMA have selected the judges for the In-Print 2018 contest, the only printing contest exclusively for in-plants. What's more, due to popular demand, the deadline has been extended, giving those who waited too long another chance.

It may still be winter but the spring in-plant conferences are just around the corner.

Every year scores of in-plants take the time to enter samples of their print work in the In-Print contest. Often they're rewarded with prizes. But hundreds of other in-plants never even enter. And that's sad, because it doesn't take much effort.
