FSEA Opens 28th Annual Gold Leaf Awards Competition
The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) has opened the 28th Annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards Competition. FSEA invites companies in the finishing, printing, folding carton, greeting card and binding industries to submit their best work. “The FSEA Gold Leaf Awards are the industry standard for the best of the best in print enhancements,” said FSEA Executive Director Jeff Peterson. “From attention-getting foil and coatings to intricate diecuts, unique folds and de- tailed embossing, members of the print finishing industry are enhancing greeting cards, presentation folders, labels, invitations, folding cartons, packaging boxes and more.” The FSEA Gold Leaf Awards program has grown as entries are submitted from around the world by finishers and binders that want to compete against the best in the industry. New technologies have fueled growth, too, with expanded award categories in areas such as digital foil and other specialty UV coatings. Entries will be judged on design, execution and level of difficulty in more than 25 categories, with a gold, silver and bronze award presented in each category. A “Best of Show” award will be selected from among all of the Gold Award winners. All winning companies will be announced during an on- line presentation ceremony during the FSEA Online Learn- ing Experience, to be held in Spring 2021. In addition, win- ners will be honored during the FSEA Finishing Summit, October 2021. Competition winners also will be highlight- ed in promotional campaigns, PostPress magazine and other trade publications, and on the FSEA website. To submit entries or for complete information on rules, regulations and entry fees, download an entry form from the FSEA website at www.fsea.com . For questions, call the FSEA at (785) 271-5816. Entry deadline is March 8, 2021. Domtar Names Wilson Manager Of TN Mill Fort Mill, South Carolina based Domtar Corp. reported that it has named Troy Wilson the new manager of its King- sport, Tennessee, mill, effective immediately. Wilson suc- ceeded Marty Barfield, who passed away on December 31 after a long illness. In his new role, Wilson will be responsi- ble for leading all aspects of the Kingsport mill. A key focus will be its operational readiness for the mill’s entry into the containerboard market in 2022. Once in full operation, the converted mill is expected to produce and market approximately 600,000 tons annually of high-quality and medium recycled linerboard. The con- version is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2023. The city is expecting an “average local spend” of $130 million once the operation re-opens. Domtar esti- mates the conversion cost to be $300-$350 million.
