TLMI AWARDS Crowning Glory Germark S.A., Cornellà, Spain, takes four first-place awards, including one for the Barbie Diamond Castle label, which is used on the front of a glass perfume bottle for kids. This label was entered in the Flexography (color process–prime) category. Using seven colors and cold holographic stamping, Germark is able to emphasize the crowns on the Barbie images in an easy and effective way. Avery Dennison supplies the substrate material, and inks come from Siegwerk. Hints of Oak Collotype Labels USA Inc., Napa, CA, wins two first-place awards, both in the Wine & Spirits–Offset category. For its Wooden Valley wine label, a color process–prime entry, the converter uses a Gallus press to print four-color process and one spot color on uncoated stock at approximately 40 fpm. Additional processes include a sculptured flatbed emboss, gold silkscreen, hot foil stamping, and die-cutting. Suppliers also include Fuji, Siegwerk, and Kocher & Beck. A Fine Blend Achieving Enlightenment TAPP Technologies Inc., Langley, BC, Canada, wins three first-place awards, including the Pacific Rim Winemakers 2007 Gewürztraminer wine label. This winner, which features a meditating Indian elephant, was entered in the Wine & Spirits–Flexography/Letterpress (color process– nonprime) category. TAPP printed 49,000 labels on a Gallus RCS 330 press at an average press speed of 35 mpm. Flint Group Narrow Web provided the ink, and ACPO supplied the gloss laminate. Keeping the label in register was especially challenging. The company reports this was almost a blind print, and it was necessary to come up with a device to monitor the underside of the label during the run. Additional suppliers include Fasson (substrate), RotoMetrics (dies), and DuPont Cyrel (plates). Labelgraphics (Glasgow) Ltd., Scotland, snags three first-place awards, all in the Wine & Spirits category. The Ballantine’s 12 YO 50cl whisky label, a Flexography/Letterpress (line and screen/tone– prime) entry, is a recent makeover, encapsulating the modern design of the traditionalist whisky industry. Using 350–400 line anilox rollers, the label is flexo printed eight colors on a Gallus press with hot foil and matte spot varnish on top-coated, clear polypropylene using 150 lpi screen ruling and rotary cutting. Suppliers include DuPont Cyrel (plates), UPM Raflatac (film), Gerhardt (rotary flexible dies), and RotoMetrics (UniFlex hot foiling plate).
