Suttle-Straus: Receives North America Printer of Year award

Suttle-Straus, Madison area communications provider, received a gold medal for print excellence and innovation from Sappi Papers when the company announced its North American Printers of the Year awards. In the 13th year of the program, winning entries were culled from a field of approximately 3,000 entries and selected from 55 silver and judges award winners. Each of the gold winning printers will receive $20,000 in design support of their marketing initiatives and will compete for Sappi’s International Printer of the Year Awards to be held later this year.
