ENTRY:
Great Outdoor Grill Mesquite Chunks
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
Six color reverse printed film/film lamination. Product was previously produced in a multi-wall paper bag format that became easily worn and dirty during the shipping process. The judges commented that at first glance it was a larger than life pouch with illustrations that gave a flavor of BBQing and made you feel that this pack would be at home in the great outdoors. Closer scrutiny confirms that the solids are very good, the halftones sharp and well defined and the type, although large, is very sharp. Overall a very good presentation that achieved the results expected by the customer. |
