Diamond Packaging has won three awards in the 73rd annual North American Paperboard Packaging Competition, the competition sponsored by the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC).
Diamond was the recipient of an Excellence Award for Elizabeth Arden’s John Varvatos Artisan Blu folding carton (shown), which was converted utilizing Clearwater Paper Candesce SBS paperboard and offset printed with four color process and blue inks, in-line with UV matte, and UV gloss spot coating. The package features a multi-level embossed “water” pattern on the front, side, and rear panels; the interplay between the coatings and multi-level embossing create a shimmering effect, inspired by Mediterranean beaches. The embossed graphic on the rear panel represents the flask-like fragrance bottle housed in handwoven rattan.
A second Excellence Award was presented to Diamond for the supplier’s promotional packaging of L’Oreal USA’s Matrix Oil Wonders. The carton was converted utilizing KapStone Kraftpak high-yield, low density paperboard and printed with UV flexo white, opaque white, four color process, and dense black inks, in-line with UV varnish.
Printed opaque white dots provide a perfect counterpoint to the brilliant gold foil stamped dots, creating dimension and visual interest. Gold foil surrounds the die cut windows, framing the hair care products within and drawing attention to the free product sample inside.
Diamond also won an Excellence Award for its 2016 calendar, which marks the 25th anniversary of a long-standing company tradition. The grandfather clock theme, with its inner mechanisms perfectly balanced, represents the collaborative and precise nature of Diamond’s work.
All of Diamond’s winning entries were manufactured using 100% clean, renewable wind energy and produced in a Zero Manufacturing Waste to Landfill (ZMWL) facility.
