PrintWeek Awards 2025

Recognising and rewarding excellence

Welcome to the PrintWeek Awards 2025.

As we mark our 15th year, we spotlight courage and bold innovation under the theme: Print and Packaging That Pushes the Boundaries.

We’re looking for the risk-takers, the printers and converters who have defied the normal, pushed limits, and led the way with new ideas and fearless innovation.

Have you disrupted creativity, experimented with new substrates, engineered exceptional quality, or pushed the boundaries of sustainable innovation?

If yes, it’s time to enter and showcase your finest work. Each year, more than 100 top companies submit thousands of samples. Now, we’re looking for yours.

A few tips to maximise your chances:

Enter the right category. You must enter to win.

Give context. Judges need full specs and project details to evaluate your work properly.

Show variety. Don’t submit four samples of the same job. Demonstrate your range.

Finally, remember who is judging. It's your customers.

We have put the judgment in the hands of an independent panel of experts, a line-up of big-name print and packaging buyers for our Quality Awards.

Remember, you are being judged for four jobs. This means you are not being judged for one single piece. So, please don't send us four samples of the same job. You have to impress the jury with a variety of tech skills.

Now, please select the best work from your shopfloor and send it to us.

Good luck.
