Penn Emblem Co., Philadelphia, recently was honored at the North American Association of Uniform Manufacturers & Distributors (NAUMD) Innovation Awards this past March for its PennFlex Emblem.
Honoring innovations in the image apparel and uniform industry, the contest scores each product in a variety of divisions, ranging from best fabrics and footwear, to garments.
The PennFlex Emblem won Best Badge or Emblem Design at the Annual NAUMD Convention. “Penn Emblem is honored to be recognized for this achievement and we would like to thank NAUMD for recognizing our innovation,” says Richard Hirsh, national account sales manager, Penn Emblem Co.
Each award submission was judged on three categories: technology, importance of the problem solved and originality. PennFlex emblems are Penn Emblem’s newest customizable embellishment. With either a metallic or matte finish, it adds dimension and luxury to any uniform or garment, according to the company. — J.L.
