AAA Flag & Banner Wins Best of Category at Print Excellence Awards
Large-format graphics leader recognized for exceeding expectations by PIASC at 2017 awards ceremony.
AAA Flag & Banner was recognized by the Printing Industries Association of Southern California (PIASC) at its annual Print Excellence Awards ceremony held on April 7, 2017.
The design, printing and installation company was awarded Best of Category in the They Said It Couldn’t Be Done category. AAA Flag & Banner’s winning project was its transformation of the Wolfsonian lobby into a display of contemporary Dutch design featuring patterns from artist Christie van der Haak.
In order to meet the criteria to submit an entry in this category, a printer needed to exceed limitations and expectations when tackling the numerous challenges faced on the toughest jobs. AAA Flag & Banner chose to highlight their work at the Wolfsonian because it required overcoming a variety of obstacles, including incremental weather and challenging wall dimensions and textures.
“Our installation team battled wind, rain, and difficult interior and exterior elements to flawlessly overhaul the Wolfsonian,” says Craig Furst, president of AAA Flag & Banner. “This is really where our expertise and experience shines, and I couldn’t be prouder of the result, which is simply stunning.”
In order to accomplish the project, AAA Flag & Banner’s team combined the use of promo decals, art walk on the floor, show floors on the ramp, and its 3M envision series wrap for the exterior. The final transformation will be featured through June 2017.
The Print Excellence Awards competition accepts nominations from all graphic art firms — printers, finishers/binderies, brokers, graphic designers, ad agencies and in-plant operations — located within the service area of PIASC. The judging is done anonymously, and the panel is comprised of a team of distinguished professionals with a minimum of 10 years of experience in the graphic arts industry. Judges considered the quality of printing, degree of difficulty, technical expertise and overall visual appearance of submissions in categories such as books, digital printing, point-of-purchase materials, specialty categories, and beyond.
