Proud printers of winners
2005-11-24
IN what can only be described as a superb achievement, the Paarl Media Group printers handled the printing of 13 of the 15 winning Consumer titles in this year’s 2005 Magazine Publishers Association of South Africa (MPASA) Sappi Pica Awards.
The Premier Award Winner in the Consumer category, Insig, is also printed at Paarl Web.
A total of 38 awards were presented in the 36th annual Sappi Pica Awards across the Customer, Business-to-Business and Consumer magazine categories.
According to Stephen van der Walt, Paarl Media Chief Executive Officer, the Group is delighted with its clients’ excellence performance in the Pica Awards - the only local industry accolade that recognises excellence in magazine publishing.
“As printers, we are committed to contribute to our clients’ success. We endeavour to ensure that the print quality enhances the quality of content, to produce award winning publications.
“That is why we view it as a feather in our cap that a total of 18 of the titles that won awards and 18 titles that were highly commended in this year’s awards are printed at Paarl Web, Paarl Web Gauteng, Paarl Gravure and Paarl Print.
“New Media Publishing’s Afrikaans title, Insig, was awarded the Rossi trophy while the Media 24 title, Finance Week, was highly commended in the same Premier Award category. This financial weekly, now known as Finweek, is printed at our newly launched Paarl Web Gauteng plant in Johannesburg.
“We sponsored the Consumer and Premier Award categories this year in support of our clients and in recognition of their work.
“While the organisers of the Pica’s reckon that it is a good time to be a magazine reader in South Africa, with the booming magazine industry and increased advertising spend, the Paarl Media Group believes it is also a good time to be magazine printers.
“We will continue to deliver the kind of service and quality that ensure award-winning publishers trust us with printing."
