The Druckstudio Group received the bronze gregor international calendar award for the “Delta Premiumkalendar 2014”. “The calendar was an impressive reflection of Delta’s packaging expertise,” was the judges’ verdict. The assessment criteria included the functionality, originality, concept and design of the calendar. The high production quality was also decisive. The calendar made effective use of the interplay of paper, typesetting, reproduction, printing, finishing and bookbinding.

The gregor international calendar award is one of the most important competitions in the print and media industry. Around 1,000 calendars in total were entered from Germany, the rest of Europe, Japan and Israel. The competition and the world’s largest calendar exhibition are organised by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Finance and Economics, the Graphischer Klub Stuttgart e.V. and the Verband Druck und Medien in Baden-Württemberg. The Graphischer Klub Stuttgart first organised its renowned “Kalenderschau” in 1950. The award is named after Pope Gregor XIII, who instigated the Gregorian calendar.
