The Star Club has been inaugurated at IFRA exhibition in Hamburg in 2010. Membership is presented to a printing company in recognition of outstanding printing quality if it achieves five or more stars by participating successfully in the International Color Quality Club or by obtaining WAN-IFRA certification for standardised printing. 

One Star is awarded for each successful ICQC participation in a competition year, independent of the number of successful entries. Two Stars are awarded for the successful WAN-IFRA certification of a printing plant. Certification is valid for two years, after which it can be renewed.

Ingi olafsson, WAN-IFRA’s Director said: “The successful participation in the International Color Quality Club is already a great achievement. But to successfully prove consistently high print quality over many years is what distinguishes those printers who provide their customers with only the best print products. We welcome the new Star Club members!”

This year 09 new members are joining the Star Club “Hall of fame”, which now counts 61 members in total. New members come from Finland, Germany,  India,  and UAE. Also a new premium club category called "MILLENNIUM STARS" are added for the unique publication of a printing plant who achieved 10+ stars in their life time. Below are the new "Millennium star club" holders of life time.

Below are the new star club members of 2020. New Star Club members will be honoured during the virtual event of World printers forum conference planned in october 2020. WAN-IFRA  congratulates all the new member for their memorable achievements.
