2021 GRAPHICS EXCELLENCE AWARDS BEST OF SHOW
Fey Printing

What the Judges Said – This Best of Show is a prime example of whimsical lithography. As if Alice in Wonderland collided with Mother Nature at Elon Musk’s house. Paper textures are dynamic, a smorgasbord of linen, pinstripe and serious solids. The visionary portion is the ultimate tease of a stylish back perforated holder concealing the best bindery in the show. They used wizards in the bindery.

BEST OF WISCONSIN
Philipp Lithographing Co.
What the Judges Said – If the point of purchase at the store or market won’t permit the full display, it’s a travesty. This entry is the O.K. Corral of print, die cutting and mounting.

BEST OF PACKAGING
Quantum Group
What the Judges Said – The eye-catching graphics of the carton container are just the beginning of the adventure that is hidden inside. Behind the styrofoam that functions as a bodyguard is a die cut, pop-up that salutes the state of cheese. In a competition stocked with cartons and containers, this entry is truly cheese whiz.
