Admark Visual Imaging Wins SGIA Golden Image Award

Admark Visual Imaging Ltd was recently honored with a gold medal at the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) Golden Image (including André Schellenberg) Awards. The award was for the Red Rock Vending Machine graphic, entered in the Display/Exhibits category, and was presented during the 2009 SGIA Expo in New Orleans.

“I am very proud of our team,” said Laurie Pilling, Admark’s Managing Director. “Our work was compared to the best in the world — and we came out on top. That’s quite an accomplishment! And what I am even more proud of is that this is the second year running in which we have received this international award – last year we received the André Schellenberg award for a digitally printed graphic we did on behalf of Burger King – so we have been awarded for excellence in both screen and large-format digital printing on the world stage”.

More than 90 companies from around the world entered the competition, submitting nearly 450 entries in 43 product categories. “The quality of work this year was exceptional. Judges in virtually every category told me the entries were so good that choosing winners was a real challenge,” said Johnny Shell, SGIA’s Vice President of Technical Services. Shell added that Golden Image is a technical competition, excluding aesthetic issues from the judging process. Prints are judged on the level of difficulty and quality of execution.

“Winning the gold medal for the Display/Exhibits category puts Admark among the top specialty printers in the world in terms of quality and capability. The ability to consistently print such high quality products indicates that Admark is expert at controlling the many variables involved in specialty printing,” Shell said.
