Buster Creative Partnered with Haapanen Brothers to Win an Award of Excellence

The Great Lakes Graphics Association (GLGA) has announced that Buster Creative’s self mailer piece is an award winner in the 2015 GraphicsExcellence Awards competition. The judging was concluded on March 17-18, 2015, by a team of independent judges. The GEA competition is one of the largest printing competitions in the nation.

Buster Creative’s design was submitted by Haapanen Brothers Printing Company, and the printed piece won an Award for Excellence in the Product Packaging Assembly category for the design of the Hollister VaPro Plus Catheter Box/Self Mailer.

A panel of out-of-state judges with extensive experience in printing and print production was brought in to examine the work. Each entry was judged on its own merit in a category with similar printed pieces. The judging criteria included registration, crossovers, clarity and neatness, sharpness of halftones and line drawings, richness and tonal qualities of color, paper and ink selection, ink coverage, difficulty of printing, effective contrast or softness, finishing, bindery and overall visual impact.
