Schawk Australia has scored a gold award for its premedia work at New Zealand’s Pride in Print Awards.

Schawk, the local arm of brand expert SGK Inc, was recognised for its work on Allen’s Sherbies, which it produced for Nestlé using its HD Flexo print technique.

Working with the Christchurch NZ plant of Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific, and Brandpack, the Allen’s SKU achieved the Pride in Print Gold Award for Flexographic printing in the Food and Beverage category.

The winning entry was part of the suite of premedia work Schawk has produced for Nestlé.

“The award demonstrated the alignment of all key stakeholders in the graphics supply chain process,” Schawk operations manager Ryan Sharratt said.

“The new proofing profiles developed for the project were based on precise colour matching of fingerprints.

“The colour management process was effective in reducing the number of print colours while creating eye-catching colour fidelity for stand-out packaging.”
