Show what you've got "druckisch"!
The Swiss Print Award is the only award for print projects designed and realized in Switzerland - with or without a digital connection. Since 2013, it has been awarded by an independent jury of experts for outstanding print work.
The award is primarily not only intended to honor "beautiful printing". It is also about the "cleverly" realized print product that touches, surprises and motivates the recipient. And in the sense of the AIDA formula - Attention, Interest, Desire, Action - can even encourage action!
Much has changed since the award was founded in 2013. The online process has unfolded expansively, new technologies, platforms and channels - online and offline - have been added. In short, communicative solutions have become possible that were unknown in 2013. Think of the numerous finishing options in print, which today, in combination with digital technology, are able to catch the recipient's attention.
The Swiss Print Award has gained in importance. Print - as a significant element in the communications mix - strengthens the response effect on the recipient. Print can also be used to reach people who are difficult or impossible to reach digitally. Print thus increases reach. Alerted print entrepreneurs and designers of print products, agencies, graphic designers, and consultants, but also print buyers know about the strengths of print.
From printed product to coveted printer's certificate
The Swiss Print Award selects outstanding print products from a wide range of innovative and cleverly designed print products. Conversely, print products become highly respected printer testimonials.
The award stands for innovative solutions in the communication mix, as part of a campaign or as a stand-alone appearance. Participants in the Swiss Print Award - first and foremost printing companies, designers or branded companies - have the opportunity to sharpen their image. This has been confirmed by winners of previous Swiss Print Awards: The award - or even a nomination alone - contributes to the reputation of the participating company: An award, whether gold, silver or bronze, confirms the innovative and creative performance of the award winner and also motivates its employees.
