Shrink-sleeve labels brought in over half of the awards for Hammer. Featuring our variable sleeve offset printing (VSOP) technology, Chadwick Bay by Cliffstar Corp. brought home Gold, highlighting Hammer's expertise in this new, innovative technology.
Kevin Keane, president of IAPHC, commented: "Our event has been the beneficiary of seeing the growth of Hammer Packaging in terms of technical execution, range of product and services, and an avid embrace of leading with excellence for many years. In recent years we have seen how label printing, a field at the root of Hammer history, has become high art as presented by the entries from Hammer. World class brands turn to a world class purveyor like Hammer to help their product stand out amidst the field. We salute the team at Hammer Packaging for living their mantra - 'we lead, we don't follow' - and we congratulate them on their nine International Gallery awards celebrating their world class graphic arts prowess."
