On Thursday, February 7, Mitchell Press accepted the plaque for the 2018 SONORA Plate Green Leaf Award for Canada at the company’s first Creative Industry Showcase. Mitchell Press hosted the event at their plant in Burnaby, B.C., Canada, to bring together leaders from Vancouver’s marketing, creative, and graphic design communities and give them an inside look of key industry print partners. Kodak representative Guy DuHamel attended the event and presented the award to Dan Castilloux, David Mitchell and Scott Gray from Mitchell Press.

This is the second year that Mitchell Press has won the SONORA Plate Green Leaf Award, demonstrating their excellence in sustainability. The company joins an elite group of printers from around the world in winning the award, named for KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates, which reduce the environmental impact of plate making.
