The Great Lakes Graphics Association announced that McGrath Printing and Custom Apparel of Crystal Lake recently received three Graphics Excellence Awards. McGrath’s Follow the Action gift set received the highest honor – the Gutenberg Best of Category for Special Innovation Awards in Printing – an award of excellence for cartons and containers and a certificate of merit for specialty printing. The competition is one of the largest regional printing competitions in the nation.

McGrath’s Follow the Action gift set features unique designs of hunting and fishing on quality shirts and coffee mugs, all packaged in a die-cut box with matching graphics throughout to give it a 3D look. A panel of out-of-state judges with extensive experience in printing and print production was brought in to examine the work.
