Annual Print award
Wednesday 03. December 2008 - At Labelexpo Chicago Flint Group Narrow Web hosted the 4th Annual Print awards celebrating the excellence and entrepreneurship in the wider world of narrow web printing. Label converters from all over the world had submitted samples of a wide variety of products converted in Narrow web presses. These where all evaluated by a panel of industry judges and fully reviewed by the criteria: registration, smoothness of dot/vignette, overall print quality, and degree of difficulty.
” For us the number of entries are very encouraging say Global Brand Manager Flint Group Narrow Web, Niklas Olsson – we see an increasing number of entries in several of the categories that show that converters globally are proud of the work they do.”
Flint Group Narrow Web awarded several companies with awards at the sparkling event as entries were placed in different categories relating to technology and application. All were elegant examples of what’s best in the art of fine label and narrow web print. Says Mr. Niklas Olsson, Brand Manager, Flint Group Narrow Web – “The quality level of the entries in each category was astonishing and the judging panel had to use all their experience and skill to separate out the winning entries. In some categories we had to make a choice between two excellent print samples, and decided to honour some entries as “highly commended”.
