Diamond Packaging announced that it won four awards in the 33rd annual Packaging Im-pressions Excellence Awards, which recognizes the highest level of printing quality and technical achievement across the full range of packaging segments – labels, flexible pack-aging, folding cartons, shrink sleeves, corrugated packaging, and displays.
Diamond won three awards for Inter Parfums’ Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid packaging, in-cluding First Place in the “Folding Cartons – Offset” category, Second Place in the “Sus-tainability – Folding Cartons” category, and Third Place overall in Best of Show.
The folding cartons were converted utilizing FSC-certified Iggesund Invercote G paper-board, cold foiled, and offset printed with seven PMS and custom color inks, in-line with DiamondTouch and UV gloss spot coating. The overall DiamondTouch soft touch coating adds an appealing tactile quality that promotes consumer interaction. Overprinting trans-parent champagne rose gold ink over cold foil creates shimmering metallic effects on the panels and perimeter of the carton. The custom turquoise ombré design seamlessly tran-sitions from dark to light, creating a gradient background for the gloss and embossed ac-cents.
Diamond won First Place in the “Specialty – Technical Achievement” category for its 2019 corporate calendar, a popular promotional item given to customers and suppliers.
The “Making Waves” calendar, which was conceptualized, planned, and produced by the entire Diamond team, originates from a beautiful, hand-drawn pencil drawing. The calen-dar features Extended Color Gamut (ECG) seven-color process printing, cold foiling, UV gloss spot coating, DiamondGlitter and DiamondReticulate specialty coatings, multi-level embossing, debossing, intricate die cutting, and NFC tagging.
Users can simply touch or tap their smartphone at the bottom of the calendar for exclu-sive content, and touch again for additional content. The first touch takes users to “The Making of” video, where they can take a sneak peek behind the scenes during the design and production of the calendar. Subsequent touches take users to a landing page describ-ing the decorative processes used in the production of the calendar (with an offer to re-ceive a free sample kit), Diamond’s Instagram page, and website, respectively. On four different dates throughout 2019, tapping on the tag will display new content specific to that day (e.g., Earth Day).
