The competition to find the cutest colleagues in the print industry returns as Innotech invites entries to their popular contest
Innotech Digital has launched printing’s cuddliest competition of the year; Pets in Print 2026. The creativity of the print industry was on full show last year, with Garry the Boxer dog from Print.com taking first place.
Sam Lowe, Marketing Manager for Innotech, says, “This competition has really captured the hearts of printers all over the country, and we saw some incredible entries last year. This year we have partnered with the Dogs Trust and will be donating £2 for every online order over £150 during March”
The criteria for entry are:
1. Make sure your pet is wearing the Pets in Print bandana
2. Your pet must be photographed in the work environme
3. Give a description of the role your pet plays in the workplace with as much detail as possible.
4. Post your masterpiece on socialmedia, tag Innotech, and use the hashtag #PetsInPrint to make it count
The bandanas are available on request by emailing sales@innotechdigital.com and pictures can be posted on any social media platform.
The judges include Gail Coles from the Dogs Trust, and industry pet lovers Carys Evans from Karis Copp Media, Colin Sinclair McDermott (the Online Print Coach) and Jack Gocher and Kathryn Ridout from Eye on Display.
Last year the competition was rocked by scandal as Alfie from Graphic Warehouse attempted to bribe two of the judges with cheques from Barkley’s Bank for crypto dog vouchers worth 1000 doggy biscuits. Although the attempt was uncovered before judging began, Alfie was disqualified. He was still described by his owner, Richard McCombe, as a “good boy”
Sam continues, “We love seeing the pictures come in, the higher quality image the better and of course it’s the descriptions that also really give the full story of the role the pets play in the business.”
The competition officially starts on 1st March 2026 and finishes on 31st March, with judging taking place in early April. Not only will your pet get a chance to shine but the winner will earn the ultimatetitle of 2026PetsinPrintChampion, plus some fun surprises from Innotech.
