Excellence in Printing...Again!

At Friday night’s Queensland Printing Industries Craftsmanship Awards, held at the Sofitel in Brisbane, Queensland Complete Printing Services (QPrint) demonstrated yet again that the highest levels of printing expertise can be found right here on the Sunshine Coast. Taking a standout total of 9 Awards, including the two most prestigious awards for the night, saw QPrint continue to establish themselves amongst the printing elite in Queensland. A right usually reserved for large print houses located in Brisbane. For the Third consecutive year, QPrint has won the outstanding Queensland State Government’s Business Excellence and Innovation award, whilst again winning the most prestigious award of the night, Judges’ Choice. The Business Excellence and Innovation award recognises contributions made by the company to the industry overall, whilst the Judges’ choice award recognises the best printing work submitted in Queensland. The remainder of the total saw 3 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze. Find out more at www.qprint.com.au or email us on enquiries@qprint.com.au

When asked about the Business Excellence and Innovation award Director Anne Blacklaw said “It’s an honour to receive this award. We’ve previously won this award in the category for businesses with ten employees or less, twice! This year we were competing with businesses that employ up to thirty people.” “These awards aren’t about me,” said Anne. “The awards are about our staff. Without the staff ? their team spirit and their high standards, we’d be nowhere. Near enough is never good enough for them ? they aim for perfection every time.” Both the Judges’ Choice award and gold medal for book printing were awarded for a book titled ‘Kids of Tasmania’ which a special leather bound version was presented to Prince Fredrick & Princess Mary of Denmark. Innovations at Queensland Printing within the past twelve months include the addition of the Indigo HP digital printing facility, enabling personalized printing of anything from posters to books within minutes. The added benefit of this service is the ability to do small print runs, allowing authors to test their market before investing large sums of money into their project.
