Checkerboard Honored by Stationery Industry in New York
New York, NY, May 23, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Checkerboard Ltd., one of America's leading stationery and invitation manufacturers announced today that it received its eleventh LOUIE Award, the greeting card industry’s equivalent of the Academy Awards. The company had three products named as finalists, and took home top honors in the General Invitation Below $3.50 category, with its unique and whimsical "Special Event" invitation.
This bright grenadine-red invitation, printed in any ink color, looks like a giant vintage ticket to the most exciting event of the year. The strip along the bottom detaches to become a wristband "guest pass.
“We are honored to receive our eleventh LOUIE Award and to be recognized amongst our peers for our creativity and craftsmanship,” said Micah Chase, president of Checkerboard. “We pride ourselves on our high quality, hand-crafted products as well as our customer service, but at the end of the day, we only get to show off our quality and service if our designs truly stand-out and attract the customer. To be awarded for having the best item in a very competitive category is great recognition.”
The Greeting Card Association (GCA) honored the 25th Annual LOUIE finalists and winners in 54 different categories at a special gala event at New York City. The winners were chosen by an esteemed panel of retailers, industry suppliers, independent sales representatives and press and blogger judges.
