A Morganton marketing firm and one of its graphic designers have been recognized among the Carolinas’ best after winning a top award in the Printing Industry of the Carolinas’ annual PICA Awards competition.
The Printing Industry of the Carolinas, or PICA, announced that Deluxe Printing Group won several awards in its annual PICA Awards competition, including the Lindenmeyr Munroe Best Printing (Division B) award and the Digital Print Solutions Best Catalog sponsored award.
Based in Hickory, Deluxe Printing Group operates in the same regional commercial ecosystem that includes Burke County businesses, nonprofits and publications that rely on high-quality printing, design and production services.
In addition to the two top sponsored awards, Deluxe Printing Group also received two Best of Category awards and one Special Judges Award, according to the release.
The Best of Category was awarded to Morganton-based advertising agency, VanNoppen Marketing and recognized its print and digital sales campaign for Morgan Keefe Builders, a construction company in Arden that specializes in custom luxury homes. The award also recognized VanNoppen’s principal graphic designer, Kevin Lingle.
The awards were announced during the 60th Diamond Anniversary PICA Awards Banquet in Charlotte.
PICA described the competition as one of the printing industry’s long-running standards for excellence. The organization said the awards have been recognizing standout work since 1966 and now cover a broad range of print categories, from invitations and stationery to catalogs, packaging and grand-format work.
PICA said the graphic communications industry remains a multibillion-dollar economic sector across the two states, supporting hundreds of businesses and tens of thousands of workers in commercial printing, packaging and related services.
PICA, headquartered in Charlotte, represents the graphic communications industry across both Carolinas and says it supports the sector through advocacy, education and workforce development.
For Deluxe Printing Group, the recognition places the Hickory company among this year’s top honorees in a competition built around craftsmanship, quality and innovation in print.
