Harris & Bruno Celebrates 8 Gold Leaf Awards at FSEA 2026

The 2026 FSEA Gold Leaf Awards and Print Embellishment Conference was a huge success for Harris & Bruno, our partners, and the growing digital embellishment community.

This year, the H&B team was proud to take home eight awards for embellishments produced on the ZRX Digital Embellishment Press, with the help of some amazing partners and designers, across a variety of categories. Each award represents the creativity, collaboration, and technical execution that continue to push digital embellishment forward.

Celebrating Creative Collaboration

Awards like these are never the result of one person or one machine. They come from strong creative partnerships, thoughtful design, and a shared belief in what print can become when production and creativity work together.

Harris & Bruno would like to recognize and thank the talented designers who contributed to these award-winning projects, including Chris Hyde, Courtney Werne, Adrienne Mayer, Richard Pistolero, and Riley Ash.

Each designer brought a unique perspective to the work, helping show how digital embellishment can support storytelling, brand impact, and creative expression.

Thank You to Hatteras

We would also like to thank Hatteras for their participation and support, with their Digital Embellishment Sample Pack taking home a First Place Gold Leaf Award. As a valued Harris & Bruno partner and ZRX user, Hatteras continues to demonstrate what is possible when printers invest in new ways to create value through embellishment.

Their involvement helped bring their prints to life and further reinforced the role digital embellishment can play in premium print, packaging, direct mail, and creative marketing applications.

A Strong Showing for the ZRX

The ZRX was built to help printers and designers create high-impact embellishments with speed, accuracy, and flexibility. At FSEA 2026, that value was on full display.

From foil effects and raised textures to creative use of spot coating and specialty finishes, the award-winning pieces showcased how digital embellishment can transform print into something memorable, tactile, and highly engaging.

These projects also highlighted what makes the ZRX such a powerful production tool. With the ability to flood coat, spot coat, and foil stamp in one pass, the ZRX gives printers the flexibility to create premium effects without traditional dies, screens, or lengthy setup times.

Moving Digital Embellishment Forward

The success at FSEA 2026 reflects a larger movement happening across the print industry. Designers are looking for new ways to create interaction. Printers are looking for new ways to differentiate. Brands are looking for print that captures attention and creates a stronger connection. Digital embellishment sits at the center of that opportunity.

For Harris & Bruno, these eight awards are not only a recognition of great print pieces, but are a reminder of what becomes possible when technology, creativity, and collaboration come together.

Thank you to FSEA, our partner designers, Hatteras, and everyone who helped make this year’s event such a success. We are proud to celebrate these wins and excited to continue helping printers bring high-value embellishment into production with the ZRX.
