prominent. Designed for an Austrian winery the combined use of offset litho and screen printing and accurate die- cutting gives the label a technical edge. The additional use of a silver glitter pigment gives it a tactile feel and added an extra dimension to the end result.

a1: alcoholic drinks
This category has two joint winners.
Collotype USA for Kenwood Artist Series.
The design of this
label takes us back
to the early part
of the 20th
Century. The
flamboyant
hairstyle and the
hint of a feather
boa in the
background are
very nostalgic.
The label offers
everything, delicate
skin tones coupled with the contrasting black dress and the touches of gold foiling scattered throughout are the elements which place this label in the top drawer of quality. The combination of UV offset litho and stochastic screening is used to perfection. It is almost good enough to frame and mount on a wall.
Skanem Introl SA, Poland for Zubrówka 1L Czysta Wódka
The flexo, offset litho, screen and cold stamping proces- ses have combined to produce an excellent label full of interest. The illustration of the animal in
a snow scene contrasts
nicely with the faint blue
trees. The liberal use of
cold foiling adds depth to
the result. The italic
lettering is very legible and
the background seal adds
distinction. The registration is spot on considering all the elements which go into making this label such a good example.
a2: non-alcoholic drinks
No winners in this category.
a3: food products
Wintek Flexo Prints, India for Bon Gold Coffee
This is a dramatic looking
label using the contrast of
the black background and
the gold and yellow inks to
add interest. The highligh-
ted illustrations add to the
quality of the label. Gold ink is notoriously difficult to print with the flexo process. Wintek have managed this well. The white reversed out type stands out well against the background.
Many of the winners from this year’s competition will be entered in the World Label Awards competition which will take place just before Labelexpo Europe in September.
From the previous year’s FINAT winners 7 received a World Label award including the Schreiner Group, Royston Labels, Skanem Newcastle, Tapp Technologies, Marzek Etiketten, Dow Industries and Skanem Hobro.

Marzek Group, Austria for Hirschmugl
The unusual shape of this label grabbed the attention of the jury members. The label gives the appearance of a coiled snake which winds itself around the bottle with the head and tail very
