GUANGZHOU, China, September 15, 2025 - the Canton Fair Design Award, a significant accolade for high-quality designs and innovation, revealed its list of annual winners. Pantum has been awarded the Bronze Award for its Smart Classic Series of A4 monochrome laser printers, standing out as the only printer brand honored in this year's selection.
The Canton Fair Design Award (CF Award) serves as a premier platform for enterprises to demonstrate their innovative capabilities. This year, the competition attracted entries of 3,210 products from 1,400 organizations, with only 167 ultimately receiving the honor. All submissions were evaluated against a comprehensive set of criteria encompassing innovation, functionality, quality, aesthetics, and environmental impact. Pantum’s receipt of this award underscores its focus on not only product quality, but also design creativity and aesthetic appeal.
Pantum's dedication to innovation-driven development has been a key factor in earning this recognition. With six R&D centers, the company continually enhances its product ecosystem and integrates green principles throughout the product lifecycle. The Smart Classic Series perfectly exemplifies this approach. It features a compact, space-saving design with a footprint similar to an A4 sheet. Beyond its size and refined aesthetic, the series delivers robust functionality such as Wi-Fi direct connection, mobile printing, and muti-size paper printing. By reducing non-essential plastic parts and adopting a modular design that facilitates future reuse and upgrades, the series significantly lowers its environmental footprint. In its review, the CF Award noted that these measures extend the product‘s lifespan and “make a positive long-term impact for the benefit of people, society, and nature.”
This award marks not an endpoint, but a significant achievement in Pantum’s ongoing journey toward more sophisticated design and purposeful innovation. Going forward, Pantum is bound to further deepen the innovation-driven strategy, setting new industry benchmarks in user-centric design and green commitment, delivering printing solutions that not only meet the evolving needs of global users but also contribute positively to a sustainable future.
