PPAI • MAY 2026 • 41 Thanks to innovative developments in technology, essential tasks such as searching for products, obtaining pricing, choosing decoration and placing orders takes a fraction of the time it once did – and it’s a whole lot easier. And, with tools that provide realistic embroidery renderings, design customization and presale proofs, the process is more accurate than ever. For the past 68 years, the PPAI Pyramid Award has stood as the industry’s top prize for achievements in creative campaigns and promotions, exceptional decorating craftmanship and superiority in technology. This year, the PPAI Pyramid Award in Technology recognizes four industry companies for their contributions to the technologies that are so crucial to promo professionals. Six gold and silver trophies, provided by Pacesetter, were recently awarded for excellence in e-commerce websites, mobile apps/websites and web content/functionality. The branded merchandise industry continues to embrace digital transformation, and this year’s PPAI Pyramid Award winners prove how smarter e-commerce, mobile tools and web platforms are making it faster and easier than ever for distributors to sell and fulfill merch.
