Smurfit Kappa Takes Three Golds at EFIA Awards

Smurfit Kappa Print Vision has once again excelled at this year’s EFIA awards with five awards across the Post print and Pre-print categories.

The awards were given for an array of innovative packs, from a vintage, single malt whisky box to a drinks pack that doubles up as an ice box.

Print Vision Chelmsford won gold for the Thatchers Somerset Cider Finest Selection case, using their unique ability to flexo print to the finest register on an FE-Flute in five colours.

Also winning silver was the Bacardi Breezer Cool Box, which has a pack quality unique among B-Flute prints, providing a minimal cost material that can also hold ice in a party or barbecue environment.

Tannochside won a second gold for the Aberlour Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Brand owners Chivas Brothers Ltd required a print excellence that would fit with the image of their 15-year-old, Double Cask Matured, Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The third gold was for Tamworth’s Veetee Rice pack for Costco USA. Smurfit Kappa Print Vision was able to recreate Veetee Rice’s logo using the least number

of colours possible and provide the customer with a more competitive pack through lightweight liners and innovative conversion technology.
