Suttle-Straus of Waunakee received two 2010 Premier Print Awards for outstanding achievement in the production of books and specialty products. The graphic arts industry’s largest and most prestigious international printing competition, the Premier Print Awards recognizes those responsible for the creation and production of outstanding print communications. Suttle-Straus won an Award of Recognition for their entry Harley Davidson Museum book and a Certificate of Merit for its own Display Imaging Media Kit.

Competing against thousands of entries from printing and graphic arts firms around the world, Suttle-Straus received an award which honors the top finalists in each of the categories of the competition. There were only 208 of these awards out of 3,200 entries, issued in this year’s competition.
