JUDGES’ AWARD
This year, the Judges Award was given to MCC Australia for Tilde Australian Raw Vodka. A technical complicated label which is best described by the converter’s own technical explanation. “Two label substrates were used, a coated poly film on the underside printed in CMYK + Toyo Black up to Unit 4 on the press then a Contone Bianco top substrate which is separated and joined to the poly film bottom stock at unit 5. Printing continues with two greys and Toyo Black with a Highbuild screen and finished with a spot Matt varnish and final die cut. Eventually five colours were used along with a 200 lpi screen.”

GROUP B PRINTING PROCESSES
B5 COMBINATION PRINTING – JOINT WINNERES
MCC Paarl, South Africa for Tête de Lion. A dark dramatic looking label printed using offset litho and screen printing in five colors. The use of gold hot foiling makes the lion’s head stand out from the black background. A gloss varnish and silk screen embossing help to maintain and support the visual impact of the gold foiling. The white type is highlighted using a discreet gloss varnish over opaque white lettering.
