Best Photo Printing Service Worldwide

TIPA World Awards 2008, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

We’re thrilled to have been awarded the Worldwide 2021 TIPA Award for Best Photo Service for the fourth consecutive year and fifth time in our history, something no other company has ever achieved!

The TIPA Awards are the world’s most sought-after accolade for photo and imaging products.

TIPA are the Technical Image Press Association, a global panel of experts in the photo and imaging industry. Every year the panel meet to discuss, nominate and vote for the very best photography products. The TIPA panel are renowned for their trustworthy appraisals and expertise.

Our 2021 awards were won for our new A2 Calendar with Gold Highlights and our innovative CEWE Photo Centre. Available in portrait or landscape, our A2 Wall Calendar with Gold Highlights is printed on high-quality, matte paper with a non-reflective surface and adds truly special finish. Our CEWE Photo Centres are available in selected Boots stores, allowing instant print across a wide range of premium products.

Our 2020 award was won for our new Leather and Linen CEWE PHOTOBOOK covers. Our leather covers, available in classic black, marbled brown or contemporary white, add a traditional style of a vintage photo album, while our fine woven linen covers available in white, grey or cobalt blue, add a modern and unique tactile feel.

Our 2019 award recognises our hexxas photo tiles, with the TIPA panel commending the innovative approach to displaying your photos, stating that “home and office image displays now have a new concept with the tile arrangement”. The quality of hexxas was also recognised, with the panel adding “each hexagonal tile in the display is made of high-quality rigid foam board with images printed on the board using UV resistant inks.”

In 2018, TIPA praised our range of CEWE PHOTOBOOK cover types, particularly our Highlights. These additions were admired as a way to “instantly give your CEWE PHOTOBOOK that extra special finishing touch.” The panel were also impressed by our guided creation process which “makes book selection and creation easy.”

Our 2008 award was in honour of our photo books. The panel chose CEWE as the Best Photo Service in the Photofinishing category, with a special commendation for our flagship product, the CEWE PHOTOBOOK.
