Competing against entries from printing and graphic arts firms throughout the Midwest, Tru Art Color Graphics received the prestigious Certificate of Merit Award. The company’s winning submission was a newsletter for IDT – Integrated DNA Technologies located in Coralville, IA.

Tru Art's sales consultant, Kathy Gaulke worked closely with IDT’s Marketing Director, Lynette Brown to achieve impeccable design and utmost manufacturing quality.

“Reworking content from three years' worth of Decoded newsletter issues and fitting them into our DECODED qPCR Special Issue was an interesting challenge, but the project turned out much better than anticipated and we are very pleased with the result. A special thanks goes to Kathy Gaulke and Lori Livingston for their expertise in helping to determine what was possible and to make the vision a reality,” said Brown.

“We are very proud of our winning team, said Kathy Gaulke, Sales Consultant. “It is an honor to be recognized by the industry as a company that produces top quality, award-winning materials.” PIM President David Radziej agrees, “This was a close competition with a very impressive standard of entries.
