Last Thursday, at the 2026 Gutenberg Gala, IMS enjoyed a memorable evening. We were nominated in two categories and walked away with two trophies.
This recognition goes beyond a mere professional accolade. It is the culmination of years of hard work and an acknowledgment of the passion and dedication that define our entire team.
Awards That Celebrate Excellence in the Printing Industry
The Gutenberg Gala is one of the most prestigious events in Quebec’s printing industry. Each year, it recognizes printers, designers, and suppliers who push the boundaries of creativity, technical achievements, and innovation.
Being nominated once is already an honor. Being nominated in two categories and winning both trophies is a testament to what we stand for and validates the path we took long ago: to always choose excellence, without compromise.
Two Projects, Two Clients, a Single Focus
These awards highlight the work we have done for two clients who trusted us to bring their packaging projects to life.
The first client, Firebarn, is a partner with whom we have worked in close collaboration, allowing us to create printing solutions that live up to their brand image. The result speaks for itself. The second client also helped us build a strong partnership based on our comprehensive approach, from the initial assessment through to final delivery.
In both cases, what made the difference was our meticulous attention to detail and our commitment to understanding their actual needs before considering a solution.
Behind Each Trophy Stands an Entire Team
If there is one thing these awards highlight, it is the quality of all the collaborators who took part in our success. Each trophy represents:
- Colleagues who ask the right questions, even when they’re tough.
- Teammates who work together, share their ideas, and never shy away from a technical challenge.
- People who strive for excellence every day, whether on major projects or in the minutia of daily work.
- A team whose open-mindedness allows us to explore new approaches to give the best to our clients.
It is this collective commitment that sets IMS apart, time and time again.
What Does This Recognition Mean for the Future
Receiving two awards at the 2026 Gutenberg Gala represents a special moment. But above all, it serves as a reminder.
A reminder that the quality of our work is the result of continuous efforts. It is built day by day, project by project, thanks to dedicated teams and partners who share our dream of excellence.
It is also important to acknowledge that we are fortunate to lead an exciting career in an industry where technical innovation meets visual creativity. And above all, to remember that we want to continue to earn our clients’ faith in us.
Thank You
To the entire IMS team: thank you. You are the real reason these trophies are shining in our offices today.
To our clients, Firebarn and the one who will remain unnamed, thank you for your trust, your boldness, and your collaboration. These trophies are yours as well. And to the entire Quebec printing community: congratulations on this wonderful evening. The future looks inspiring.
