(See page 65) 1978 1979 Annual Awards Competition For more than 25 years, TLMI has conducted an Annual Awards Competition—and competitive it is! The number of entries has grown each year since the competition was established. Designed to recognize and stimulate innovative printing and technical achievement by its members, the competition presents awards in 21 categories including the coveted Best of Show, chosen from among all ﬁrst place winners. A special Innovator Award recognizes new technology and/or product development that represents a breakthrough in the tag and label industry. Here is a look at the past ﬁve Best of Show winners. “Over the years, TLMI has been an invaluable resource for RotoMetrics. The many beneﬁts associated with membership far outweigh the cost of being a part of the industry’s premier organization. Through its various meetings, TLMI creates the platform for both suppliers and converters to share solutions in an effort to collectively grow the label and packaging industry. Networking in this fashion is a priceless tool that has allowed RotoMetrics to remain at the forefront of manufacturing precision rotary tooling.” Gary Smith, VP, RotoMetrics 2007: Taylor Made Labels, Lake Oswego, OR, earned the top prize with its Symbion Wine Bottle & Neck Label. It was entered in the category of Wine & Spirits– Flexography/Letterpress (color process–prime). The label features ultraviolet (UV) ﬂexographic inks, four-color process with two spot colors, embossed printing, and two spot overprint varnishes as highlights on 60# gloss, pressure-sensitive stock. It has a unique die-cut as well. Photopolymer plates and 800- and 900-line screen anilox rolls are used. 2006: G-3 Enterprises, Modesto, CA, converted the Bridlewood-Blue Roan Syrah label in the category of Wine & Spirits–Flexography/Letterpress (line and screen/tone-prime) for its best of show entry. The most difﬁcult challenge was that of uncoated stock, which required a fairly heavy laydown of black without closing in the ﬁne type. Using a 200-line screen, the label was printed rotary screen at 250 fpm.
