Multilabel Argentina wins Best in Show at FTA Forum

Argentina-based label converter Multilabel won a Best in Show prize at the FTA’s Excellence in Flexography Awards ceremony held on the first night of the association’s 2010 Forum. Selected from among nearly 600 submissions, more than 154 Excellence in Flexography Awards were given at the ceremony.

Multilabel’s Café Borghetti Liquore Label received a Gold Best in Show award in the label category, as well as a Silver Best in Show award in the screen coated category and the Graphic Design Award.

‘This piece had a very cohesive feel,’ said Greg LaFond of Matthews Brand Packaging. ‘The color scheme, the typeface, the illustrations all worked well together in one synergistic whole. It’s a rich, classy piece. The illustration is well rendered. The execution is very good: very tight registration with no chunky holding lines or traps; and impressive soft vignettes without the typical plugging or bearding where the dot ends.’

‘When we submitted the Borghetti Liquore label to the FTA contest, we knew it was an excellent one thanks to its design and neat printing,’ said Luis M. Garcia, president of Multilabel. ‘Competing with the biggest players in their own country, who are using the most up-to-date technology, was a hard challenge for us, but nonetheless we were confident we would be commended for an award. ‘I am delighted and dedicate the awards to my team, who made the victories possible.’

Multilabel is headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and operates label printing facilities in Mexico and Brazil.
