Cartons

WINNER

CATEGORY:
Paperboard - Top Coated

COMPANY:
ALCAN Packaging
Montreal, Canada

ENTRY:
Benson & Hedges Special Lights

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
9 Colors and varnish printed on 14 point Mead Westvaco SBS. The judges commented that this was a well produced carton with a nice range of halftone dots. The gold on Benson & Hedges house color is augmented with a delicate background shading. The reversed out white lettering is well produced.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Special Structure - Printed

COMPANY:
ALCAN Packaging
Montreal, Canada

ENTRY:
Camel Vegas - Slide Open

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
9 Colors plus varnish printed on International Paper BATSTAR. The color consistency once assembled was critical to a successful box. This represents a nice set of samples. The illustrations are well produced and with good registration. The fine type is good and solids are above average. The silver infills are solid and even and the combination a sandy like color overall gives the impression of the desert.

HONORABLE MENTION

CATEGORY:
Film/Film Lamination - Process

COMPANY:
Sipack Digital S.A.
Argentina

ENTRY:
Panettone

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
5 Colors and spot varnish printed on Polypropylene laminated to metalized Polypropylene. This is a lively sample with good reproduction of the Panettone - exactly how they should look. The reverse out lettering is good and the package represents a quality product.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Film/Film Lamination - Process

COMPANY:
CLP Packaging Solutions, Inc., Israel

ENTRY:
Chocolate Britt

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
7 Colors printed on a Polyester/Foil/Polyethylene laminate. The use of a matte lacquer, gold infill lettering and spot varnish adds depth to this sample. The busy background illustration gives the label interest. The small type is well produced and very legible.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Foil/Film Lamination

COMPANY:
Sonoco Flexible
Manitoba, Canada

ENTRY:
Pollard Banknote
Celebration 2006


JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
6 Colors printed on 48 gauge metalized Polypropylene laminated to Polyethylene. This represents a very busy sample with dramatic contrast between the background, the illustrations and lettering. This is a difficult substrate to print on, but was achieved in an admirable fashion.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Pouches

COMPANY:
CLP Packaging Solutions, Inc., Israel

ENTRY:
Look What We Found

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
5 Color printing with matt lacquer coating printed on a four ply lamination consisting of PET/HB PET/Bonyl/CPP films. A subtle sample with good, legible lettering, the large halftone areas are nice and even and the lattice work is well done. The subtle grasses add a lifelike feature to the package.

Non PSA Labels/Wraps

WINNER

CATEGORY:
Paper-Top Coated

COMPANY:
Editorial Padilla
Dominican Republic

ENTRY:
Presidente - Cerveza Tipo Piilsener

JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
7 Colors surface printed on CIS Label paper. A nice simple label that was very well produced to show that simplicity is good. The black type is good, the registration is good and the use of gold and contrasting red and white makes this a very neat label.


WINNER

CATEGORY:
Film Surface Printed

COMPANY:
Editorial Padilla
Dominican Republic

ENTRY:
Crystal Springs
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
6 Colors surface printed on BOPP film. This is another clean sample that has well produced flesh tones and the cooling water illustrations certainly give the impression of cool water. The small type is well produced and very legible and the background vignettes are smooth all of which combines to produce a nice result.
