Self-Adhesive Labels Congress Moves East
The growing importance of central and eastern Europe as a production base and a market for self-adhesive labels is being recognised by FINAT.
So to encourage them to make the effort, we are extending the closing deadline until the eve of the judging on March 26." The FINAT award winners, to be announced at the annual FINAT congress in Berlin (Germany) on May 31 and June 1, will have their prize winning entries submitted for the world label awards, which are decided at Labelexpo, being held this year in September in Brussels (Belgium).
White, who has been judging label winners for the last 16 years and is chairman of FINAT's awards committee, also believes some printers also need their memories jogging to recall what products could be eligible.
He explained: "The qualifying factor is that the entries must have been produced between January and December 2006 and I know busy printers can sometimes forget potential winners they may have printed up to 15 months ago and they need a gentle reminder." There are four sections to the competition, each with its own sub-categories and full details are available on the FINAT website.
A panel of four judges will make their choices at FINAT's Hague headquarters on March 26 but the results will be a closely guarded secret until the congress event.
White added: "The award rewards are well worth entering for.
It gives the entrants positive exposure and it is highly likely that winning entries will attract new business on a global scale.".
