Think Patented is proud to announce it was recently awarded forty-one 2025 Print Excellence Awards from Graphic Media Alliance. Each year, Graphic Media Alliance (GMA) holds its Print Excellence Awards competition to recognize Ohio, Michigan and northern Kentucky printers who have demonstrated printing excellence in 36 categories. We welcomed back our esteemed (out of area) judges, Michael Klyn (retired from Peake Delancey Printers in Hyattsville, MD), and Jeff Ekstein (Willow Printing Group, Ontario). Michael and Jeff made an outstanding duo as each entry underwent careful review and deliberation. The level of competition was so competitive several categories required the judges to search for minor imperfections to determine a winner. Both judges were highly impressed with the quality demonstrated in this year’s contest and look forward to participating in the 2026 competition. Reflecting on the remarkable success of the 2024 Print Excellence Awards, it is with great pleasure that Graphic Media Alliance ushers in the new year, propelled by the resounding momentum and enthusiasm from last year’s achievements. The GMA community has yet again surpassed expectations, shattering records with 619 exceptional entries. The esteemed panel of judges dedicated two full days to meticulously reviewing each submission, and the outcome speaks volumes to the extraordinary talent within their membership. GMA is proud to announce that Think Patented’s entries have not only met but surpassed the high standards set forth, emerging as winners in their respective categories. All of the Gold award winners in the regional competition are entered in an association-wide competition for Best of Category and Best of Show prizes that will be awarded in August at the 2025 Grand Ceremony sponsored by Millcraft.

16 Gold Awards
