Craigs Design & Print Ltd continues to show our printing excellence in collecting our third Gold Medal at the prestigious 2011 New Zealand “Pride in Print” awards for our Promotional Booklet (shown above).

Yet again Craigs soars above its competitors and cements our position as one of the South Island’s leading commercial printers producing work of the highest standard.

This latest achievement adds to a long list of Pride in Print awards including Gold Medals for printing excellence in 2005 and 2007 and Highly Commended awards in 2003, 2004 & 2010.

Winning an award such as this proves that Craigs has what it takes to produce award winning work and shows that we continue to be a step above of our competitors.

Remember – only the Best win Gold!

To coincide with this event, a Reunion Dinner was held later that night, for all staff, past and present. The oldest attendee was Ted Buckley, now 96, who worked for the company in the Photo Process Department from 1935-47.

There were 154 at the launch, and 124 at the dinner.

The events were proclaimed a great success with everyone leaving with a smile on their face and a book in their hand.
