WORLD LABEL ASSOCIATION AWARDS

INTRODUCTION

The World Label Association Awards is a global competition in which currently 5 continents are participating: USA (TLMI), Japan (JFLP), Europe (FINAT), Australia (LATMA) and New Zealand (SALMA).

In order for companies to compete and to win an award,  their entry has to win a prize in their own local label awards competition first, eg TLMI , FINAT, LATMA, JFLP or SALMA.
Each Association (Chairman of the jury) then selects entries for the WLAA from their nominated or winning entries, which are judged and possibly rewarded with the World Label Association Award.

The Letterpress Colour Process class prize went to Can Hassas Kagit, of Turkey, for its label for Camel Coffee.  “It was colourful with difficult-to-print gold lettering which illustrated the coffee product with a very realistic illustration. It was well-controlled use of the letterpress process.

 

 

 

 

The Offset Line class was won by Marzek Etiketten, of Austria, with its deep black and orange label for an Incognito wine bottle label – “a very simple label, well printed.

 

 

 

 

 

The Offset labels for wines and spirits was won by FINAT Canadian member Tapp Technologies with a label for the Tedeschi Vineyards Maui Blanc pineapple wine produced in Hawaii. “The 300-line screen ensured the illustration was well defined and, printed in three parts, the six colours and gold foil could not be faulted. 

 

A shampoo label for the Dessange Sublim’ Argan range won the Combination {Printing Line award for JPL Etiquette, of France. “It was produced by a combination of flexo, letterpress and silkscreen with hot foil stamping and six colours, all done in one pass.  

 

 

 

 

National Label Company, of Pennsylvania, won the Innovative use of a label press/applications class with an ingenious label for the Pond’s Age Miracle Proof Kit.  “This label included a plastic disc, covered with titanium oxide powder, which the kit-user put over skin wrinkles at the start of the treatment.  It creates a kind of finger print effect which the person can then use as a reference to see how much the kit has improved their skin.  The label was printed by flexo with eight colours in a single pass.”

The same company also won the booklets class for its letterpress and offset print processes used to produce a bright orange label for Motrin LB Ibuprofen tablets which required a booklet to contain all the necessary information to the consumer. “It had great shelf appeal – you could see it from miles away, and the clarity of the print was very good.

Tapp Technologies, of Canada, got the honourable mention for its Rideau Vineyard Jazz 2004 Tempranillo wine label.  “It was very evocative of the 1920s New Orleans jazz age and was very, very close to winning quality.
