WINNER

CATEGORY:
Paperboard-Top Coated

COMPANY:
Shorewood Packaging-Ontario

ENTRY:
L’Oreal Visible Lift
e well executed.
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
5 colors + varnish printed on SBS board. The customer required a package that would convey an image of quality and luxury without the expense and physical limitations of a laminated substrate. The judges commented that at first appearance this package gives a feeling of luxury. The silver and champagne inks produced a visually stimulating carton. The fine type is very good, the hot foil stamping compliments the print well and the cutting and creasing are well executed.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Special Structure-Printed

COMPANY:
Alcan Packaging-Montreal

ENTRY:
Wallet Pack
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
9 colors + varnish printed on International Paper – Batstar. Four different packages made up this family of products to produce the results desired by the customer. The package is a unique newly developed three-piece construction. This was considered another colorful set of samples with intricate designs. The shadow areas around the type emphasize the typeface. The colors are soothing and the fine type very good. The cutting and creasing were also good. A nice group of printed cartons.

Flexible Packaging

WINNER

CATEGORY:
Film/Film Lamination-Process

COMPANY:
Grafo Regia-Mexico

ENTRY:
Selecta Harina Tortillas
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
8 colors printed on matt BOPP and laminated metallized BOPP. The graphic design takes advantage of the matt-metallized areas to give contrast in the design. This structure replaced the use of a carton box. The package gives a pleasing appearance on the matt BOPP with sharp small type and good clean edges on all images. The silver is nice and bright, the use of color adds to the package appeal and the vignette is good. Overall a very nice package presentation.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Foil/Film Lamination

COMPANY:
Sonoco Flexible-Manitoba

ENTRY:
Pollard Banknote Celebration 2005

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
7 colors printed on 48ga metallized polypropylene. The judges commented that this piece is covered all over with well-executed vignettes. Overall a complicated design, the type is clean and crisp, and the register was difficult, but achieved.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Paper/Film Lamination

COMPANY:
Sonoco Flexible-Manitoba

ENTRY:
Blueberry Cheesecake Crunch

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
6 colors printed on paper and overlaminated with 48ga polypropylene. The illustrations represent the cookies very well and would attract the customer on the shelf. The small type is well executed, as is the reversed out type in all areas. A well produced pack full of class that we could not find much wrong with.

Non PSA Labels/Wraps

WINNER

CATEGORY:
Film Reverse Printed

COMPANY:
Amcor Flexible-U.K.

ENTRY:
Winfield “Big Deal” Australian
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
8 colors printed on Treophan ZSD 16 printed using 3 whites for required opacity. An innovative bold piece with multiple designs that reflect the Australian Outback. Considering the extensible substrate used this is a good effort with good registration on all images. There is good clear type in gold and the halftone areas are well produced.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Glue Applied Label

COMPANY:
Editorial Padilla-Dominican Republic

ENTRY:
Bohemia Especial

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
6 colors printed on metallized paper. A nice beer label with well-defined clear clean lines and the overall tonal values add to the distinctive presentation. The lay of gold ink is very nice and the fine type is well executed with no fill in.
