ExxonMobil OPPack winners announced

The continuing rapid evolution of high quality printed wrap-around, cut-and-stack and Roll-On-Shrink-On film labeling of mineral water and carbonated soft drinks bottles was again exemplified at the presentations of the Oppack Labeling Awards. The Gold Labeling Award was presented to Printpack Europe and S.C.Labels for cut-and-stack film labels on Shepley Spring’s Ice Valley Mineral Water. The gravure-printed cut-and-stack winning label provides a striking ‘no-label look’ design for a stronger product appeal at point-of-purchase, greater color depth, and is applied using a conventional wet-glue paper label machine – but at vastly improved speeds and with cost savings for the end-user. It replaced a self-adhesive label.

Converters Printpack Europe and S. C. Labels Ltd are part of the American Printpack Group, one of the largest flexible packaging converters in the United States. End-user Shepley Spring is one of the U.K.’s leading bottlers and distributors of branded mineral waters.
