2022 Asian Print Awards Gala Dinner "SOLD OUT”
The recent 2022 Asian Print Awards dinner ceremony was held on the 20th of October at the BITEC exhibition centre Bangkok during PackPrint International and the CorruTech exhibition.
Over 310 industry leaders gathered on the night to see first-hand which Printers in Asia had come up with the goods to win Gold, Silver and Bronze at the first live awards dinners since the COVID-19 Pandemic rocked the world. The Asian Print Awards have been at the forefront of recognising Print quality since 2002, and this year's winners were no exception to this rule.
The competition had over 1600 entries across 33 individual categories (the largest in the award's history), and on the night, 34 Gold Awards were presented (one category had two gold awards). Also, the benchmark Best of the Best Awards were presented by FUJIFILM (Best in Digital), Heidelberg (Best in Offset) and CGS ORIS (Best use of Colour).
Paul Callaghan, Chairman of Asian Print Awards, thanked the judges who presided over the event this year and the last time they will be judging in Australia, with the judging returning to its home in Singapore for the 2023 event. "This year, we have come back to some normality in our daily lives, and after walking the isles of the PackPrint International trade show and seeing people are once again doing business face to face, networking was such a wonderful feeling", Callaghan mentioned.
He continues, "Now that we are all in the same room again to see what the best quality printers have to offer, I'm happy to tell you that the judges have again seen some truly incredible work produced for this competition." "There seems to be no slowdown with the adaption of new technology to help in the print shops of Asia", he concluded.
Also announced was the new partnership for the 2023 Asian Print Awards with the world's biggest trade show DRUPA, who has signed on as the title sponsor for the Awards (being held in Singapore, date to be announced). Also, next year, the Asian CorruTech exhibition is being held at BITEC, (alongside PackPrint International) has signed on as the title sponsor for the 2023 Asian Packaging Excellence Awards, which will further strengthen the drive for quality print and packaging production across the region.
The complete list of all winners is published on the following pages and also available at www. printinnovationasia.com for download with the photos of the evening.
A massive thank you to all the sponsors and people involved in putting this amazing event together!..
