Awards 2017

World Star Award 2017
Third award in a row!

The 97th World Packaging Organ­iz­a­tion Board meeting took place in Vienna on November 14, 2016. The jury judged numerous entries from 35 countries for the “World Star Award 2017” in this period. Among the inter­na­tional prize winners is Schiet­tinger KG, the main Göppingen plant of the Schiet­tinger Group.

The company was successful with the “Beam-Box” sales packaging, which was awarded the “German Packaging Award” back in 2015 and the “Pro Carton Sustain­ab­ility Award” in 2016. The jury was impressed by the high recog­ni­tion effect of the trian­gular-shaped packaging. The trian­gular packaging perfectly picks suits the Varta logo and thus contrib­utes to the quick recog­ni­tion of the brand at POS.

The “World Star Award” is presented annually by the WPO-World Packaging Organ­iz­a­tion. The WPO consists of packaging insti­tutes, associ­ations and feder­a­tions and is a non-profit organ­isa­tion. The award ceremony took place during “Inter­pack” in May 2017 in Düsseldorf.

EFIA Award 2017
Award for high-quality-flexo

March 2017, the annual EFIA (European Flexo­graphic Industry Associ­ation) Award ceremony took place during the Gala Dinner at the Birmingham NEC. Wellpappe Auerswalde KG won a gold award.

In the race for the coveted prizes, the printed image of the packaging manufac­turer “Marsh­mallow Farm” took the top spot in the “Corrug­ated – Inter­na­tional” category. Thanks to the finest screening in high-quality-flexo printing, results like these are feasible and the smallest details are visible. The jury liked the result and rewarded the commit­ment with a gold award.

FTA Award 2017
Second award for high-quality-flexo

The FTA Award (Excel­lence in Flexo­graphy Awards) is one of the most important awards for flexo printing in the USA. Range, ink coverage, sharp­ness and many other criteria were evalu­ated. The awards were presented in May 2017.

Among the numerous entries, Wellpappe Auerswald KG received a bronze award. Submis­sions were made under the category “Combined Corrug­ated, Process”. The jury commented: “A clean print image with excel­lent colour separ­a­tion. Great capture of all six colours and all graphics cleanly executed.”
