Travel Tags Takes Home the Gold

INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN - Travel Tags recently claimed two 2013 American Inhouse Design Awards for web design and holiday mailing. For nearly five decades, Graphic Design USA has sponsored design competitions that allow inhouse designers and marketers to showcase their work. Selected out of 4,400 entries, Travel Tags was honored for its creativity and excellence.
