Narrow web print awards to be held at Labelexpo

A panel of industry judges will place the entries in categories related to technology and application and then choose the winning labels. Criteria for judging follows the standard guidelines set by the industry associations FINAT and TLMI and include: registration, smoothness of dot/vignette, overall print quality, and degree of difficulty. In addition, the judges review each label for creative use of inks and colour – rewarding those prints that exhibit extra-ordinary use of inks.

At Labelexpo in Chicago in September 2010, awards were presented in nine different categories – all print submissions using inks, coatings and specialty products supplied by Flint Group Packaging & Narrow Web.

Winners in 2010 included: Baumgarten Grafica Ltda (Brazil), Smyth (USA), Collotype Labels R.S.A. (South Africa), S.E. Industries Inc. (Philippines), Automacao Ind. E. Com. De Rotulos Etiquetas Ltd (Brazil), M&R Graphics (USA), Consolidated Label (USA), Nosco (USA), Label Works (USA), Skanem Skurup (Sweden).

Commenting on the awards, Mr. Niklas Olsson, Brand Manager, Flint Group Packaging & Narrow Web, said “We look forward to the label submissions each year and are proud of the results printers put forth using our products. The entries continue to amaze the judges with the outstanding quality of design and print. We are extremely proud, as an ink supplier, to host these awards each year, and receive great response from our customers.”
