PFFC - November 2007 - (Page 24) TLMI AWARDS Multi-Pack Presents Challenges Label Technology, Merced, CA, says “killer” images that combine fine highlights and smooth vignettes demand exact registration to produce the Jergens Lotion Multi-Pack pouch, entered in the category of Roll to Roll (color process–prime). Adding to the challenge is very thick pouch material that tends to track poorly, according to the converter. The narrow web flex-pack is printed waterbased flexo. Suppliers include DuPont Cyrel, RotoMetrics, Mark Andy, PCMC, and Harper. Cherry Bouquet Taking home four first-place awards is WS Packaging Group, Algoma, WI. In the category of Digital Printing–Wine & Spirits, the Red Oak Vineyard front and back wine bottle label is embossed and foil stamped with two colors, metallic gold and red, making registration very challenging. Suppliers include API Foils, XSYS Print Solutions (UV varnish), and Wausau Coated Products.
