Drinks packaging stands out at the FlexoTech awards
the leaders in the packaging industry. The pre-print liner, which was designed for leading beer brand Beck’s, took the honour in the Sacks and Corrugated Pre-Print Liner category. The complex liner required a high concentration of ink coverage to meet the customer’s brief of realistic, stand-out print. In order to achieve the finish, composite colours were used to build the brand’s vivid green shade and put the bottle in the spotlight. With up to 82 per cent of purchase decisions being made in-store, there is increasing pressure on brands to create a dramatic on-shelf presence and the Beck’s packaging delivers on this brief. Chris Shaw, general manager of Smurfit Kappa
S
CRP Pre-Print, says: “I am delighted for Smurfit Kappa to have been recognised as a winner in this area. For designs requiring a photo-realistic finish and high-volume production, pre-print is a valued option so we are seeing many customers choosing this for their products. “This achievement is thanks to the dedication
and hard work of our experienced printers and graphics teams.” The 2017 FlexoTech awards were announced at
a gala event in London on November 23, 2017. Smurfit Kappa’s ShelfSmart service uses industry insights and eye-tracking technology to determine the best ways to market products on the shelf.
