The All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP), the apex body of the Indian printing industry, has restructured its flagship program, the National Awards for Excellence in Printing (NAEP). Recognized as the most prestigious honor in Indian printing, NAEP will now be held annually alongside the Bharat Print Expo, marking a significant milestone for the industry.
Since its inception, NAEP has been the benchmark of innovation, quality, and excellence, celebrating the remarkable contributions of printers across the country. Previously organized biennially with PAMEX Expo, the awards will now ensure yearly recognition of outstanding achievements in the fast-evolving printing landscape.
In 2023, AIFMP introduced the Global Print Awards, extending the platform to South Asian countries and elevating the visibility of regional printers on the global stage. Moving forward, the Global Print Awards will continue biennially with PAMEX Expo, reinforcing their international stature.
This transformation comes through a strategic partnership between AIFMP and Reenvision Events Private Limited (REPL), with the aim of professionalizing the awards and further enhancing their prestige.
Satish Malhotra, President, AIFMP, said:
“NAEP has always been a symbol of trust and recognition in the Indian printing industry. With the annual format and our association with Bharat Print Expo, we aim to celebrate and reward excellence every year. Simultaneously, the Global Print Awards with PAMEX will strengthen the global presence of South Asian printing.”
Anil Arora, Director, REPL, added:
“With Bharat Print Expo as the annual platform, our goal is to make NAEP more accessible and meaningful. These awards will continue to recognise outstanding work and encourage growth in the printing industry.”
With this restructuring, NAEP is set to create greater opportunities for printers, inspire innovation, and highlight India and South Asia’s contributions to the world of printing excellence.
