8 Colors surface matte printed on PETG with a reverse out area over the reverse printed process area using Sun Chemical Inks on a Chesnut press. The black type is very legible and clean and the selected area varnish for improved COF registers well with the vignettes. The blue background looks good and the white type is also good. A nice piece of work.

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
8 Colors printed on a PVC substrate using Sun Chemical Inks on a Chesnut press. The package represents the launch of a new package with the metallics set to match the traditional board package. Special “no split” silver ink with was used to achieve the desired results. Another nice sample well printed package. The type is clear, the reversed type is also good and the green image and the contrasting yellow give a nice balance to the sample. |

ENTRY:
Corby’s Alegria
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
7 Colors printed on PETG with solvent based inks on a Tecmo press. A dramatic sample with contrasting orange, gold and black images and nice halftones. The gold printing is good and the reversed out and normal type is clean and clear. The combination the metallic gold, bright colors and smooth lay result in an attractive “pop off of the shelf” label.
