Diamond Packaging Wins In 2009 National Paperboard Packaging Competition
August 12, 2009
ROCHESTER, N.Y.—Diamond Packaging won four awards in the 66th Annual National Paperboard Packaging Competition, sponsored by the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC). Awards were announced at the 2009 Outlook & Strategies Conference in Atlanta, GA.
Diamond won a Gold Award for packaging created for Coty’s McGraw by Tim McGraw. The French reverse tuck carton features a combination of foil stamping and embossing that augments the graphic design and creates a visual and tactile presentation. The entire carton was offset printed with UV matte black and UV metallic silver ink in-line with a UV dull, stampable varnish, prior to being embossed with a pebble grain leather pattern.
Diamond also won a Gold Award for Redken’s Shades EQ carton. The graphics were achieved by offset printing two colors with UV gloss spot coating and a reticulated coating. The reticulated coating process, also known as “chemical embossing”, imparts a raised, thermographic-like textured finish without utilizing specialized board or requiring a separate embossing pass.
Diamond won Excellence Awards for its 2009 corporate calendar and a nutraceutical carton featuring six-color printing with UV gloss and matte coatings, foil stamping, and an intricately embossed ridge pattern.
