<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Must See - 3D Floor Graphics</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The development of 3D Floor Graphics has set a new standard in print advertising because a new dimension is being integrated with a brand message, which adds to the appeal of the product at the Point of Sale.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are successfully offering an innovative process thanks to our partnership with the world leader in 3D design and in the production of large-format advertising designs. Our 3D Floor Graphics not only appear three-dimensional, they look like they are upright.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We contrast our floor graphics to some existing Photoshop® methods that simply distort an image while incorporating false shadowing around the graphic. Our process for producing 3D Floor Graphics uses a combination of mathematical and optical principles with design elements, to generate a real effect of height and depth for our customer’s brand.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Through this attractive and effective redesign of existing single dimension images, the product advertised on a 3D Floor Graphic is visible for customers from a distance and presents itself in a surprising and highly convincing form. Thus, we literally put your product in the limelight.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our goal with this technology is to help you secure a clear competitive advantage. To begin, we discuss the concept and develop a clear idea of what you would like to achieve. Then, we request the artwork that is required to achieve implementation of the correct perspective. Next, we model the 3D concept in a jpeg. Subsequently, we create the supporting design elements. Finally, we render the completed graphic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you utilize floor graphics currently, then you already understand the sales lift potential that can come from this form of advertising. Ask yourself, how much more time would a consumer spend looking at your brand when it appears to be coming out of the floor? </span></div>

Each company won five awards. <br /><br />Specialty Print Communications led the parade of Gold Awards, with three top prizes. Hatteras Press, Ripon Printers (Ripon, WI) and Grand River Printing & Imaging (Belleville, MI) each won two Gold Awards.<br /><br />“Each year, the scope and sophistication of these entries grow as industry companies strengthen their considerable skills as marketing services providers,” said NAPL President and CEO Joseph P. Truncale, Ph.D. “The submissions this year were at the highest level of marketing excellence in everything from direct mail to website presence, and there was stiff competition for the top honors. Marketing continues to become an increasingly important part of our industry’s services, and we are excited to spotlight the outstanding work of these companies at our awards presentation on Feb. 21.<br /><br />“The Marketing Plus program does not judge printing craftsmanship—although there were many splendid examples of superior printing in the entries,” Truncale continued. “Instead, Marketing Plus recognizes those companies that have demonstrated their ability to realize the full potential of marketing in all its forms as a key driver of their clients’ success and their own growth. NAPL is proud to honor their achievements.”<br /><br />NAPL Marketing Plus Awards are selected on the basis of points gained via an objective scoring measurement that takes into account both the individual end product or campaign and its success in meeting its stated goals. The 2011 Marketing Plus Awards program honored graphic communications companies for marketing excellence in 10 marketing categories, with competitors garnering 46 awards overall—15 Gold Awards, 17 Silver Awards, and 14 Bronze Awards.<br /><br />Multiple award winners include:</span></span></div>
