INTRODUCTION
FINAT celebrates 30th Label Awards Competition at its Annual Congress
Category winners to represent a great variety of industries and technologies
The Hague, The Netherlands – June 14th, 2010 - FINAT, the world-wide association representing the interest of
the self-adhesive labelling industry, announced the winners of its annual label awards competition. In this 30th
edition, containing a great number of highly commended contributions, both ‘Best in Show’ and ‘Printing
Processes Group Winner’ award went to Pilot Italia, Italy for its Barceló Rum labels.
The judging panel liked the dramatic looking label, using a combination of UV flexo and offset litho with great
embossing. “We consider this a truly regal label that makes good use of the metallised paper substrate, “said
Tony White, chairman of the panel. “This label has an immediate shelf appeal evoking lazy days under the palm
trees and the sugar fields of the Dominican Republic, home of Barceló Rum since 1929.”
With its unusual design, the Illusion Box from Kimbells Pack in the Philippines brings interesting opportunities for
differential branding.” It won the special jury award because the application shows how the printer has been able
to differentiate himself from the pack,” Tony White continued.
Organizers have witnessed a recent trend towards more entries for the Marketing and End-users Group (180
entries). It is the cosmetics group within this category that holds this year’s winner with the ‘no label look’ label
from Skanem Liverpool in the United Kingdom for Colgate Palmolive Sublime. According to the jury the label has
a “nice emotional visual effect which evokes purity.”
The non-adhesive application group winner is Turkey-based Etimag Etiket with a nice example of the offset litho
process on film; a colourful sleeve making good use of vibrant refreshing colours for Balea body lotion.
With ‘Creativity and Innovation: the way for tomorrow’ being the main theme of the congress this year, it is
worthwhile mentioning that last year’s winner in the category innovation, Schreiner Group GmbH, Germany has
been selected again. This category awards new applications or products that are not covered in the other
categories. The company has developed an integrated printed electronic device using wireless and
electroluminescence technology combined with a self-adhesive application.
FINAT celebrated its 30th label award competition; a jubilee edition that has received the greatest number of
entrees ever. In the past decade there has been an increase of 150%, while this year alone there has been a 10%
entry increase, i.e. a total of 325 entries from 55 different companies, with the greatest number of contributions
coming from India, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The judging panel included industry experts from Turkey,
Spain and the United Kingdom completed with a Dutch member judging purely on the design of the labels.
This year the FINAT label awards competition chalked up 20 winners. Many of these are being entered into the
World Label Awards competition that is taking place in conjunction with Labelexpo in Chicago (US) later this year.
From last year’s FINAT award winners, six became a World Label Award winner including Schreiner Group,
schäfer-etiketten, Collotype, Amberley Labels, Skanem Hobro and Tapp Technologies.
Full information about the winning entries can be found in this report.
CATEGORY AND GROUP WINNERS
Group A: Marketing and End-use applications
A1 - Alcoholic drinks
Sbragia 2007 Home Ranch Merlot
Tapp Technologies Inc
“A highly refined image with a nice dragon embossment. This quality label uses all the
elements to present quality, gold foil, a signature in gold the sharply defined crest. The
black branding band although vertical is very authoritative. This uses offset litho to great
advantage. A well executed label”
A2 - Food products
Sumwadda
Bahar Etiket, Turkey
“A very busy and colourful label with bold abstract designs. The intelligent use of gold foil
coupled with embossing
adds a real feel of quality to the label. The spot varnishing gives a nice tactile feel to the
overall image of the label”
A3 – Household
Rial Liquid soap Olive Milk
GundalachLogo, Germany
“ A simple label in which the Rial logo is very prominent making the brand the main
element. The illustration of the olive reflects the name of the product. And has its own way
of visualising the product. The green type is sharp and legible. A good result for flexo.”
A4 – Industrial
Mobil 1 New Life
Skanem Skurup, Sweden
“ A bold label which is unmistakeably Mobil. Very authoritative and expresses quality. An
interesting background design sets this label apart from the normal oil products. The racing
car adds even more credibility. A nice flexo job ”
A5 – Cosmetics
Palmolive Sublime Purity
Skanem Liverpool UK (GROUP A WINNER)
“A very nice “no label look” label. It expresses the softness of the product along with the
authority of the brand. Nice emotional visual effect which evokes purity. The label matches
the product in colour and makes the central white words stand out against the filling.”
A6 – Pharmaceutical
Rantac MPS Suspension
Super Label Mfg. India
“The prominent logo gives authority to the label. Great contrast between the background and
the logos. The message is clear and concise. Nice vignettes and very sharp small type. Good
flexo printing.”
A7 – Security
AU Gas Siegel
Schreiner Group GmbH & Co. KG Germany
“What seems a straightforward label is in fact a complex label with various anti tampering
techniques preventing misuse of the label. The label is used to verify that a motor vehicle has
passed its official emissions test. The security features prevent the transference of the
product to another document
A8 - Booklets
Kampanj Arla Ko 670g folder
Skanem Introl SA Poland
“Small but beautifully formed is one way of describing this booklet. The offset litho printing is
very good. The 5 pages compact down to take up the minimum space on the container. The
illustration of the cow and the cat are very natural.”
A9 – Promotional coupons
Pokémon
Skanem Skurup Sweden
“A colourful way of attracting the attention of children. A whole range of characters from the
Pokémon Nintendo series. The recognisable logo adds to the “real one “ guarantee.” Nice in
register printing gives the stickers a quality feel.”
A10 – Self-promotional labels
Kimbells Illusion Box
Kimbells Pack Philippines (JUDGES AWARD)
“An unusual design when properly used adds interesting opportunities for differential
branding. It needs to be
experienced first hand to gain the full effect. Several printing processes were used. The
application shows how this printer can differentiate himself from the pack.”
A11 – Sets of labels
Mutter Natur Essig
Helf Etiketten GmbH Austria
“A very nice set of labels showing the many different dressings available. Great product
expectation and modern looking. Another example of digital printing put to good use. The
uniformity of design is good. The contrast between the green logo and the silver background
makes the label stand out”
Group B: Printing Processes
B1 – Flexography
Innis & Gunn Orginal
Spear, United Kingdom
“A label with authority with a subtle design which includes barrels and hops which imparts
authenticity. The logo is very prominent and the contrast between the silver substrate and the
red surrounds brings the label alive. The design draws the eye to the centre of the label”
B2 - Rotary letterpress
Antigua Bottega
Kuresa, Peru
“The illustration on this label shows us a view of the fresh tropical fruits used to
manufacture this soap. The brand reversed out of the silver ink. The very fine type is
extremely well printed and is very legible. You might be forgiven for thinking it is a fruit
drink!!”
B3 - Screen printing
Meda baby Shampoo
Flexiket A/S Denmark
“A soft gentle looking label with very sharp lettering and logos. A good example of screen
printing. The design expresses trust and care with the right balance between quality and
care. The use of a “braille” varnishing to give the label a tactile feel adds to its credibility.”
B4 - Reel fed offset lithography
Rodney Strong 2008 Sauvignon Blanc
Tapp Technologies Inc Canada
“This label was awarded full marks for its design components with a strong brand name
high on the label. A nice soft illustration of a vineyard with Charlotte’s house in the
distance. The use of gold foiling around the edges and on the logo and the unusual
embossing added extra quality to the final result.”
B5 - Digital imaging
Vikingsild
Skanem Hobro A/S Denmark
“An atmospheric label showing the Vikings braving a tempestuous ocean. A very busy label
with plenty of information about the product. Printed digitally on a metallised paper gives the
label a quality lift without the expense of gold foiling.”
B6 - Combination printing
Barceló
Pilot Italia S.p.A. Italy (GROUP B WINNER AND BEST IN SHOW)
“A dramatic looking label printed using UV flexo and offset litho. A truly regal label making
good use of the metallised paper substrate. It has immediate shelf appeal evoking lazy days
under the palm trees. The embossing adds that final touch to the result”
Group C: Non-adhesive applications
C1 - Non-adhesive labels/tags
Ocean Pure Hot + Spicy King Prawns
Skanem Newcastle UK
“A nicely produced label with recognisable branding. Well printed with excellent
illustrations of the product. The label is well balanced with plenty of white space giving a
quality feel to the result and an eye catching result. A good representation of flexo
printing”
C2 – Cartons
No winner.
C3 - Sleeves
Lenhart – Balea Young Body Lotion
Etimag Etiket Turkey (GROUP C WINNER)
“A really colourful and busy sleeve making good use of vibrant colours with some unique
design features. An excellent example to introduce this new category. A nice example of
the offset litho process on film.”
Group D: Special Awards – Innovation
RF Activated EL
Schreiner Group GmbH & Co. KG, Germany (GROUP D WINNER)
“This is integrated printed electronics using wireless and electroluminescence technology
combined with a self adhesive application. No contact is needed to activate this
component in practice”
