The Gold was awarded  in the embellishment category for Rajguru booklet and the Bronze was awarded in the postcards and greeting cards category for the Rohit Prerna wedding card.

Saifee Makasarwala, COO of the company said: "We lay a lot of emphasis on managing the colour of the print jobs we do. It is a standardised process right from capturing images to pre-media and later, printing. Apart from this, choosing the correct paper accentuates the desired colour and sharpness."

More than 60% of printing at Silverpoint is done on specialty paper. The company’s art of printing is visible in the anomalous approach towards print technology which includes etching of paper, an array of fabrication and finishing techniques, innovative concepts and designs among others. The company was the pioneer for printing on uncoated paper in India.

In May 2010, Silverpoint had bagged won two Bronze awards  at the 2010 Sappi Trading Printers of the Year.
