The Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce congratulates Print It Plus after the Royal Palm Beach company walked away with 18 awards at the 27th annual Florida Print Awards, the printing industry’s largest and most prestigious statewide graphic arts competition.
The Printing Association of Florida (PAF) presented the awards to elite Florida-based printing firms, graphic arts companies and schools during a banquet Friday, July 25 at the Walt Disney World Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa in Lake Buena Vista.
Print it Plus won the trophy for Best Small Press in the on-demand stationery category for work done for client PSJ Law & Associates. They also received 17 certificate awards — five first-place awards, six second-place awards and six third-place awards. “I can’t tell everyone how proud we are of the great staff we have at Print It Plus,” said David Leland, who owns the business. “To be honored by your peers in this way is such a tremendous honor for everyone here.”
George Ryan, president and CEO of PAF, agrees. “Year after year, the quality of the submissions for the Florida Print Awards increases, raising the standard to which they are held,” he said. “It seems like we say this every year, but the judges remarked how they were, once again, impressed with the entries submitted by PAF members and also said this year’s competition was the toughest yet.”
The Florida Print Awards recognize individuals, companies and organizations responsible for the creation or production of print communications. The competition promotes excellence in the industry and recognizes companies and individuals who produce the best in print media.
“David Leland is a valuable member of this chamber’s board of directors, and we couldn’t be more proud of his team’s accomplishment,” said Wayne Burns, CEO of the Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce.
