“Fantastic entry, easily the stand-out winner,” said one judge, with another chipping in: “A solid performance with a great eye for detail.” Take Tesco Finest Croquembouche Dessert Kit: if the contents were tasty, the creativity and print were delicious. The structured design involved a flat-pack, round-based form with a set of five supporting rings to stack and display the profiteroles in the shape of a cone. The Frozen and Star Wars Milk Chocolate Egg and Bar packaging meanwhile featured a tiara made by cutting the shape from the pack. ISO 12647-7-compliant proofs came off an Epson 9900 inkjet printer, with printing plates from a Kodak Magnus 800 platesetter. Print rolled off Komori Lithrone S40 with four-colour process and spot-gloss varnish. The last word on the Patisserie De Bain bath and shower products, however, goes not to the judges but the customer. Grafton International brand coordinator Ben Edwards said: “The brand prides itself on eye-catching artwork and packaging must reflect this. Working with Sherwood helped us maintain our high-quality benchmark with their superb print quality and knowledgeable workforce.”
