Eight-color job with 4 process colors printed on high-shrink film. Judges comments were a bright label with good contrast. Registration is excellent and the half tones and vignettes in the pasta are good. The fine lines were well reproduced and the fine type is clear and sharp. |

Eight-colors on Vacumet embossed metallized paper. The job is considered a good example of line and process work on a difficult to print embossed material. The solid areas printed well and the fine detail is said to evoke the customer's tradition of quality. |

Coor's Original
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
Six-colors printed on metallized PP. The label makes good use of the transparent gold ink and the high gloss of the metallized film. The subtle signature in combination with the mountain background is well handled. |

Six-color job printed on Kimdura. The black is extremely nice and dense. The "pop" is said to be due to the effective use of transparent colors over silver metallic ink. An eye-catching label for a premium product. |
