EFI recognizes first-time Jetrion label contest winners

The competition recognizes the highest quality and most innovative print uses for EFI Jetrion presses, a leading narrow web inkjet technology in the global label converting market. The four winning entries are on display in EFI’s booth at Labelexpo Americas 2014.

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. Honorable mention in the category went to Canadian company Factor Forms & Labels.

GSI Technologies of Illinois won the 2014 Most Innovative Application of the Year award for a heat-resistant blanket warming oven decal printed with four-color process plus white on film with laser cut outs. Repacorp, a label converter headquartered Ohio, with five Jetrion digital presses, received honorable mention in the category.

Stephen Emery, vice-president of EFI Jetrion and ink businesses, said: ‘We have seen such outstanding and innovative work from our Jetrion customers that we decided a contest to recognize them in two categories was in order. 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.’
