There is still time to submit the best in print! It’s not
too late to submit your company’s very best in print to Flint Group! Narrow web
label and packaging converters from around the world are encouraged to submit
sample labels for evaluation by a panel of industry judges.
Join Flint Group at Stand 840 on Wednesday, September 10 at
4:00 p.m. to celebrate the very best in print!
The winners of this prestigious award will be announced during a live
event on the Flint Group stand at Labelexpo Americas in Chicago.
The criteria for judging follows the standard guidelines set
by the industry associations FINAT and TLMI and include: registration,
smoothness of dot/vignette, overall print quality, and degree of difficulty.
The judges also review each label for creative use of inks and colour –
rewarding prints that exhibit extra-ordinary use of ink. Participate and join
the industry in celebrating excellence and the art of printing in a narrow web
platform.
Flint Group will highlight a special category introduced for
web packaging applications, and encourages printers to demonstrate the enriched
pallet of applications possible using narrow/mid web presses.
