After a rigorous judging process by industry experts and BPIF specialists, which included written submissions, face-to-face interviews and site visits, the 25-strong judging panel has completed the tough task of establishing the worthy winners.
The 37 companies that have made it on to the shortlist for the 2009 BPIF PrintWeek Excellence Awards are listed right.
The winners of the 16 company categories and the 16 individual categories will be revealed at the lunchtime event, to be held at the London Hilton Park Lane, London on 1 July.
The winners in the Lifetime Achievement and Entrepreneur categories will also be revealed on the day.
In addition to the shortlisted companies, the list on the right also gives the names of the candidates for the Apprentice of the Year award.
