JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Six-colors printed on 110# PSA coated paper. It was pointed out that the job was technically difficult due to the back print that is done in-line. The judges commented that the job was well printed both front and back. Halftones are excellent and the line work front and back are brilliant. Register is outstanding. |

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Fifteen-colors on 10 point CIS board, multiple overprints and free radical UV coatings were used. The judges commented that the board used is difficult to print on. The colors are good and the registration reflects the nature of the product. Scratch-off area hides the variable image area. |

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Seven-colors printed on a shrink film. The product is the first time that shrinkable technology was used to fit the contours of a racecar. The judge's felt that in addition to the novelty value, the color was very good, the reversed out lines good and the halftones above average. All in all a quality reproduction. |

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Six-colors printed on a newly developed proprietary film. The first full-body shrink label for a trigger spray bottle. Product took the place of a paper label. The judges commented on good dense colors and well defined key lines. A nicely printed sleeve that compensates well for the severe distortion. |

ENTRY:
Adidas
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
Three-colors printed on .028 double lined kraft. One black and two white using 100% water based inks. A very difficult print job on uncoated kraft with excellent results. The solid background is exceptional in one pass and the edge definition of the type has not been lost by flooding.
