Amcor Cartons New Zealand wins seven gold awards at the 2012 Pride in Print Awards!

The Pride in Print Awards, held 29 June in Auckland New Zealand, recognise excellence in printing across Packaging, Publications, Business Print, Labels, Displays, Promotional, Specialty and Industrial. Judging for all categories is based on technical excellence in all areas of the production process, while taking into consideration the materials and equipment used. Particular attention is paid to design and typography, as well as the effective and innovative use of materials.

Supporting some of New Zealand’s largest and most successful consumer brands, Amcor Cartons received seven of the 13 available gold awards in the Packaging category, including:

Cadbury ‘Continental’ 420g Carton
Prime Foods ‘Large Smoked Salmon Pouch’ Carton
Contract Bottling ‘Smirnoff Double Black’ Carton
Contract Bottling ‘Smirnoff Premium Ice’ Carton
Unilever ‘Surf Jasmine & Gardenia’ Carton
Waikato Valley Chocolates ‘Pirate Ship’ Carton
Lion Nathan ‘Steinlager World Cup Pack’ Carton

David Berry, Group General Manager of Amcor Cartons Australasia believes these awards recognise Amcor’s exceptional carton printing capability for local consumer products.

“Brand recognition and differentiation is vital for our customers’ success. We understand these requirements, and continue to invest in world-class equipment and talent to deliver the best in carton printing to our New Zealand customers,” said Mr Berry.

At last year’s Pride in Print Awards, Amcor received seven gold awards, eight highly commended awards and was the Packaging category winner.

“Amcor’s ongoing success at the Pride in Print Awards is true recognition of our focus on partnering with our customers, and the importance and emphasis we place upon carton printing, embellishments and innovation,” Mr Berry said.
