The label of year from Ample Industries
During a special reception at Labelexpo Americas, EFI announced the winners in its first label printing contest for its Jetrion inkjet narrow web press users.
Four companies have been recognised in the contest which recognises the highest quality and most innovative print uses for EFI Jetrion presses.
Missouri-based Ample Industries won the 2014 Label of the Year award for a beverage label printed with process colors plus white ink on silver material. Honourable mention in the category went to Canadian company Factor Forms & Labels, in Edmonton, Alberta.
GSI Technologies in Burr Ridge, Illinois, won the 2014 Most Innovative Application of the Year award for a heat-resistant blanket warming oven decal, printed CMYK plus white on film with laser cut-outs. Repacorp Inc, a label converter headquartered near Dayton, Ohio, won honourable mention in the category.
‘We have seen such outstanding and innovative work from our Jetrion customers that we decided a contest to recognise them in two categories was in order,’ said Stephen Emery, vice president of EFI’s Jetrion and ink businesses. ‘The contest participants certainly did not disappoint, and it was hard to come to a final decision. We look forward to making this an annual event.’
