19 October 2015

Award-winning label makers, according to judges, must “tick a number of boxes”. Label Apeel has done exactly that for the past three years to secure a hat-trick of category wins. Labels for King’s Siberian Sturgeon Fresh Caviar – like those for Mezan Single Distillery Rum or Hampstead Tea - had to prove best print and production values.

The Leicester company knew that the quality of the labels had to match the quality of the product. These were printed on white polypropylene face and over-laminated with a satin polypropylene, but the challenge was in the registration of the foiling, not just once but twice. Decorative gold foiling allowed for no error in registration. Label Apeel polished off the job in two passes on an AB Graphic Series 2 Digicon – an exclusive finish for an exclusive product.

Chateau Rouge, named after a legendary Parisian residence, supplies gourmet food including a new organic tea in cylindrical cartons. The Label Makers secured this highly commended prize for the marbled-looking labels with bright-silver motif. Lanique, meanwhile, a Prussian liqueur made to a secret recipe 200 years ago, was recently revived and out came the Fasson Rustique Cream Material to reflect its rich history and signal another good year for the Bradford company.
