The winning work was recognized after nearly 650 print samples were sorted, reviewed and ranked according to the challenges undertaken and the printers’ abilities to overcome them. Judging took place in Dallas in February 2008, and winners were displayed on-site at Forum. Nine entries took Best of Shows in their respective categories. The awarded Nestlé® Hot Chocolate 25kg foodservice-packaging label was printed in-line on MPS’ eight colour pressline EF 330 with UV inks from 155-line screen conventional flexo photopolymer plates on a selfadhesive white substrate.
Narrow-web judge Barry Thompson of R.R. Donnelly was impressed by the smooth transitions in the Nestlé® label. “The highlights are really clean and the printer does not have build-up in there. It's an excellent demonstration of process control. The printer didn't give itself any leeway. Like one vote the jury presented the Best of Show award for Nestle® Hot Chocolate Label to FTA South Africa on behalf of Roll On Labels Ltd., Johannesburg/Cape Town/Durban, South Africa.
The proudly surprised founder & owner Chris Jeffery welcomed the Best of Show award as a great honour for his specialised label printing company, which was established in May 1976 and working according to the ISO 9001 standard. “Although it is our habit to produce in the highest possible quality standard, it feels so good that an independent jury has recognised that in our warded Nestlé® Hot Chocolate label”, Chris Jeffery commented with a smile.
