Crystal D, St. Paul, Minn., won three awards at the 2011 Awards and Recognition Association (ARA) Show in Las Vegas. Crystal D was a first-time exhibitor at the show.
The company placed second in the “Supplier Website Award” competition and the “Best New Product – Imprintable Material” competition for the Pinion Award (#6770-6772). Crystal D also placed third in the “New Product Showcase” competition.
Trade show attendees judged the “Best New Product – Imprintable Material” contest. The Pinion Award won because of its unique design featuring three emerald crystal balls suspended at its center. The color and design are new to the industry.
The ARA awards committee selected the “Supplier Website Award” winners and the “New Product Showcase” award winners. The showcases were judged based on overall attractiveness of the display—37 companies participated with 53 window displays.
