National Stationery Show Names Best New Product Winners
TEXT SIZE 
Judges reviewed a record-breaking 375 products to select the 13 winners of the National Stationery Show's new product awards. This year, for the first time, the show's organizer, George Little Management, expanded the competition to include six "Think Green" categories.
"Each product that captured the attention of our judges exemplifies creativity, functionality and fun--and in the case of our Think Green' winners--social responsibility," said Patti Stracher, show manager. "These companies are to be commended for their ingenuity and continued efforts to provide the industry with fresh resources."
