The Awards Night provides a valuable opportunity to printers for doing SWOT analysis vis-a-vis their counterparts in the true spirit of the game so as to prepare for the next year’s competition.” - Bhuvnesh Seth, Replika Press

“We started participating in PrintWeek India Awards from last year and observed that it is one of the finest Award ceremonies in the country. The uniqueness of the show lies in the entire judging process. The Award ceremony is equally grand affair with execution precision to the smallest details of the show. It is a great platform to showcase our products, innovations and printing technologies to the industry and prospective clients. We were amazed to see the samples (entries) received from the other participants. The print jobs from all the participants were breathtaking and we are very happy to receive the best "Label Printer of the Year" Award from such a tough and competitive field.” - Naveen Goel, Any Graphics
