Print.com is thrilled to be returning as a sponsor of this year’s IPIA Recognising Excellence Expo, Gala and Awards – a day and evening dedicated to celebrating innovation, connection, and the outstanding achievements that keep our industry moving forward.
Visitors can catch up with the Print.com team at their stand during the Recognising Excellence Expo and Networking Lunch (11:00–15:00). It is the perfect opportunity to experience first-hand how its innovative tools and co-creative approach are empowering print professionals, agencies, and resellers across the UK and beyond.
Print.com’s stand will feature a special ‘Spin to Win’ competition – where visitors could walk away with print vouchers, promotional merchandise and gifts to compliment Print.com’s famous stroopwafels.
Then in the evening is the Recognising Excellence Gala Dinner and Awards – where Print.com is also proud to have been nominated in the Innovation Masterclass Award, while its very own Cadie Mayor has been nominated for a Young Leader Award.
The Power of Co-Creation
Print.com was born from collaboration. When founder Marco Aarnink purchased the domain Print.com in 2017, he didn’t start with a product, he started with a question: “What does the print community really need?”
By inviting designers, marketers, and print professionals to shape the concept alongside them, Print.com built more than just a platform, it built a community. Today, that same spirit of co-creation continues to define its journey, as Print.com evolves hand-in-hand with the customers that use its services every day.
Innovation that Frees Creativity
Earlier this year, Print.com expanded its innovation footprint with the acquisition of ISI Publishing Innovators, a company with over 25 years of experience in creating advanced ordering environments for resellers, creative agencies, and brand owners.
The first major milestone from this partnership is the launch of Print Portal; a white-label, closed ordering environment that gives print professionals full control over their customers’ ordering experience. Whether it is managing recurring products like POS materials or streamlining internal brand orders, Print Portal saves time, reduces manual work, and keeps everything perfectly on-brand.
“Many of our clients’ waste time daily on repetitive tasks they can’t invoice, such as price calculations or checking print files. Print Portal automates this kind of work, while end clients make minor design adjustments themselves. This frees up print professionals for work that truly makes an impact.”
Celebrating the industry
“We’re excited to be returning to Recognising Excellence this year! It’s always an action-packed day and night filled with networking, reconnecting with existing members, and meeting new ones. The event truly has a strong sense of community. This year, we are proud to be sponsoring the Print Management Company of the Year Award category –– recognising the vital role and commitment these professionals bring to the industry.”
At the heart of the IPIA are its Print Management members; the trade buyers, designers, marketing agencies, and resellers who collaborate with print businesses to drive mutual growth and success. The Print Management Company of the Year Award celebrates these organisations’ dedication to partnership, professionalism, and progress. Values that mirror Print.com’s own ethos.
