Prepress company Schawk Australia won two awards at the ANZFTA gala awards event this month.

Sharing the technical accolades with partner print firm Amcor Flexibles, Schawk Australia was recognised for its graphic production and colour management work for clients Campbell Arnott’s and Nestlé Australia.

The winning entries were part of a suite of premedia work on 44 and 73 SKUs Schawk completed for the brands.

The HD Flexo work was achieved through the creation of new proofing profiles.

Operations manager Ryan Sharratt said precise colour matching fingerprints led to a reduction in the number of print colours as well as overall ink coverage.

“Schawk created 2D and 3D renders for Campbells Arnott’s; introduced new BLUE X software (a cloud-based application preferred by Schawk worldwide for enhanced workflow) and completed stakeholder training in record time,” Sharratt said.

“BLUE X provides authorised personnel control and management of brands across the entire asset lifecycle.”



Both the prepress expertise of Schawk Australia and the print skills of Amcor were recognised with a Silver (Reverse Print) and Bronze (Surface Print) in the Wide Web Flexibles category at the awards.
