PRINTING United Alliance (Fairfax, VA) has announced the winners of its annual Product of the Year competition. According to a statement from the Alliance, the winning products by PRINTING United Alliance members became available for sale in 2020. More than 200 entries were submitted across 85 categories. This year, the program features a new dedicated virtual gallery where entries are displayed.
The statement continued that Product of the Year judging was conducted for both output devices and non-output devices. For output devices, a printed target produced a scorecard that determined winners where some categories were determined by just tenths of a point. Non-output categories were scored by a panel of judges, all experts within their respective realm of the printing industry. The diverse group of judges worked to identify the best products, many submitted in highly saturated categories.
In addition to the new virtual awards gallery, a prominent digital badge was developed to indicate winning products. Digital badges include the Product of the Year award logo, embedded data about the award, and link to the manufacturer’s website.
