Label Awards (CONT’D FROM PAGE 41) This job was converted to flexo from an offset job, and had to match the previous work. It features halftone work with sharp fine text reproduction. The cold foiling and de- tailed label shape further enhance the label. Class 3: Flexo Color Process Winner CPF : Company Cymmetrik (Jiangsu) for P&G HR - Hair Recipe (Moonlight Flower) Shampoo An two-sided label printed in three layers on transparent film. Af- ter printing the process color back image, a middle layer of two hits of white made a base for the front image. H/M SALMA : Kiwi Labels for Hellers Dan- ish Eye Bacon Printed CMYK flexo with reversed out white text tested the skills of the plate mounting and the opera- tors. The reversed out text is sharp and clean. Class 4 Flexo Wines and Spirits Joint Winner CPF : Haoneng Industries Corp Ltd for West Lake Green Rain Beer A label using a micro-optical structure array on the film. Through the Moire effect, a 3D image is created to the naked eye with apparent parallax when viewed from dif- ferent angles. Joint Winner LMAI : Any Graphics for Grand Whisky A nicely printed label, with even background color. The use of accurate embossing and cold foiling gives the label a luxury look.
