Since 2007, the organization has been awarding the EDP Awards, which recognize the best new technologies in digital printing, publishing, and packaging. The products are evaluated by an independent jury of experts based on criteria such as innovation, quality, usability, and sustainability. Through these awards, the EDP helps guide print service providers in choosing cutting-edge, reliable, and future-ready solutions.
