B2: ROTARY LETTERPRESS
Cabas S.A., Greece for Odysea – Greek Saganaki
The story behind this label is the intense blue background depicting on the one hand the Mediterranean Sea and on the other a linen tablecloth. The background also serves to enhance the reversed out lettering and make the illustration of the pan and cheese stand out. Well printed in rotary letterpress. An even matt varnish gives the final touch of quality.
B5: COMBINATION PRINTING
Collotype Labels, Italy for Americano Gancia
This label has already been discussed in some detail in the introduction. A well deserved award.
GROUP C
NON-ADHESIVE APPLICATIONS
C1: NON-ADHESIVE LABELS/TAGS
Skanem Scandinavia, Sweden for Grill Glaze Original BBQ
This flexo printed label
depicts the glaze
which can be used for
enhancing a BBQ
experience. The
brownish background
gives the right amount
of atmosphere for a
BBQ and the images of
the vegetables gives an indication of the contents. The instructions for use are clearly shown in diagram form. The bright yellow and bright blue wording contrasts nicely with the even coloured background.
C3: SLEEVES
Forlabels S.A., Greece for Gods & Godesses Ouzo
These labels were described in the introduction paragraph as Group winners.
GROUP D INNOVATION
Tovenca AG,

GROUP E DIGITAL
E1: LIQUID TONER TECHNOLOGY There were joint winners in this category.
Collotype Labels, USA for Diströya This label was discussed in the introductory paragraph as the Group winner.
Collotype Labels North
America Wine and Spirits,
USA for Tres Manos
A dramatic looking label
printed on a PS foil
substrate using a dramatic
black background with lots
of subtle detail contrasting
with the pseudo gold
effect. The full gloss varnish
coupled with the very
accurate embossing gives this label plenty of eye appeal. This label leaves the viewer in no doubt that the magic number is 3. A nicely conceived result.
E2: DRY TONER TECHNOLOGY
Kimoha Entrepreneurs Ltd., United Arab Emirates for Ajmal Exclusive Room Freshener
A rich looking label printed on
a sliver PP substrate uses a subtle blue arc to break up the slightly subdued colours in the two backgrounds red and gold. The overall use of a halftone screen slightly subdues the brightness of the gold background. This label is designed to be used in quality surroundings.
