UniKeep Selected as a Double Winner in the 2006 American Inhouse Design Awards

Media Kit and Direct Mail Win Prestigious Awards


Marysville, OH —May 3, 2006 — UniKeep LLC, manufacturers of unique, non-traditional binders and marketing mailers, is pleased to announce they were selected for two awards in the 2006 American Inhouse Design Awards by the editors of Graphic Design USA. UniKeep won for its media kit titled ‘Not Just Binders Anymore’ and for a self-promotional direct mail kit titled ‘EnvyPak™ – See What You’ve Been Missing’. The winning pieces will be published in the July 2006 issue of Graphic Design USA.

Gordon Kaye, Publisher of Graphic Design USA, stated: “Some of the best work in the communications marketplace is being done by inhouse design and marketing departments, and the American Inhouse Design Awards seeks to make sure that this work is recognized and respected. The competition this year was the most competitive ever, and for UniKeep to win two awards is really something special.”

Graphic Design USA is a national magazine for design professionals and has sponsored design competitions for four decades. The American Inhouse Design Awards provide recognition by the creative community, corporate and institutional management for outstanding work by in-house designers. The 2006 winners were chosen from nearly 4,000 submissions, less than 20% of which receive recognition.

“We are pleased and honored to be selected by the editors of Graphics Design USA as a winner of two awards,” remarked Ross Youngs, CEO and managing member of UniKeep. “These pieces are great examples of the capabilities and uses of our products as well as the creative abilities of our inhouse team.”

The winning media kit was created by designer Michelle Kochan and Karen Sullivan, Director of Marketing, using UniKeep’s versatile clear View Case Binder™. The enclosed case allowed them to easily include a variety of materials including a CD with an interactive version of the kit. The unique full wrap overlay of the UniKeep binder gave the team a large billboard for the kit’s message. The durable poly rings of the binder make the media kit easy to update throughout the year without adding the bulk of traditional metal rings.

Sullivan used another UniKeep product, an EnvyPak™ clear poly catalog mailer, to combine a range of printed samples and a product catalog in the winning self-promotion kit. The mailer itself featured four-color printing and stock photography for a high impact message while allowing the recipient to instantly recognize the contents as the information that had been specifically requested in response to targeted industry advertising.

UniKeep uses innovative design and patented technology to create more functional replacements for ordinary binders and mailers. All UniKeep products are environmentally friendly and curbside recyclable, constructed of 100% polypropylene or poly/paper combinations and all encourage creative use for personal, school or business use.

The binders can easily and economically be customized in-house with laser printed inserts or can be commercially printed and imprinted for maximum impact.

The standard EnvyPak line offers a wide range of sizes and configurations of poly/poly and poly/paper mailers, including crystal clear envelopes and laser printable mailers. All of these can be custom printed in full color for a powerful marketing impact. The true versatility is that EnvyPak can easily be custom designed and manufactured into marketing pieces that are truly only limited by the designer’s imagination.
