UXBRIDGE Dutch printing company De Budelse, b.v. demonstrated that you can judge a book by its cover. De Budelse’s “Sjakie Child Booklet and Music Package” took “Best of Show” last night at Xerox’s annual multinational digital Printing Innovation with Xerox Imaging (PIXI) Awards. The winning entry featured a children’s book and complementary music CD in a creative package that included a customisable display case and printed insert for their customer, Poppovisual, a multimedia publisher. The packaging was personalised for small book retailers and card shops that carried the products, and printed on demand as fulfilment was needed. The De Budelse solution was chosen for its ability to benefit all parties – from the publisher that prints only the amount of packages ordered, to the retailers that can customise the promotion of the item for their stores, to the end users who are able to purchase the product from a local vendor – delivering a total product and solution. “By using Xerox’s digital printing technology we’re able to take the guess work out of how many the publisher should print,” said Harry Mennen, account manager, De Budelse. “We can supply a minimum order of five Sjakie packages depending on a store’s demand, and by using a variable data print solution to customise the display cases the retailers use to promote the item, these pieces actually sell themselves.” Now in its seventh year, the PIXI competition recognises the most innovative and effective work customers are printing with Xerox digital systems. This year’s awards attracted submissions from companies around the world including entries from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, across Europe and the U.S. Each entry was reviewed by a panel of international leaders from the graphic arts industry who judged the entries on innovation, use of digital technology, business effectiveness and overall aesthetics. “I always enjoy seeing new print creations that demonstrate how much d
