Wide Web
There is a very broad range of obstacles facing any printer entering a print sample into the wide web category.
Mid Web
Too wide for narrow web, too narrow for wide web—the mid web category is a mix of substrates, sizes and segments.
Narrow Web
Labels—and tubes, and labels, and boxes, and even more labels—were the stars of the narrow web category.
Combined Corrugated
For the printers who run work in the combined corrugated category, their biggest challenge is with their substrate of choice.
Preprinted Linerboard
When it comes to web widths and repeat lengths, it doesn’t get any bigger than the preprinted linerboard category.
Envelope
Judges of the envelope category looked for excellent printing in the face of adversarial substrates and registration-hostile speeds.
