Asahi Photoproducts reported that Orange County, CA-based Label Impressions took home the top prize in the Flexography – Line & Screen, Tone/Prime category at the recent 2016 TLMI Annual Label Awards competition. The company had recently completed several upgrades to improve its quality, sustainability and profitability in line with emerging industry trends.
“This recognition validates our investment decisions,” said Jeff Salisbury, CEO. “We have moved to a new 30,000-square-foot facility with electrical and landscaping upgrades that improved our efficiency and sustainability. We have been using Asahi TOP Premium flexo solvent-wash plates with Pinning Technology for Clean Transfer, which was a significant contributor to our ability to achieve this prestigious award. Our thanks go to Correct-Touch Graphic Arts (CTGA) and Asahi Photoproducts for their partnership and support.”
After a recent installation of a new Asahi AWPTM 230W Water Wash Plate Making System, the company also expects to reduce VOCs by 85%, setting a new milestone for Label Impressions in terms of quality and environmental sustainability. “In addition,” he added, “gray water from the water wash system will be used to drip irrigate our landscaping, important in California where water is precious and conservation is a must.”
The winning label printed with TOPTM featured high-resolution graphics as well as small type that needed to be extremely legible to comply with regulations and ensure brand integrity.
