The best label of 2009 is a promotional label printed by Logmatix, of Marrietta, GA, USA. That was the determination of the judges of the TLMI Label Awards this year, a collection of achievements presented at the association's annual meeting. This year's awards banquet was held Tuesday at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, AZ, USA.
Logmatix took the top prize for its Red Rain Energy Drink label, which also won first place in the Promotional Label category.
This year's competition drew 234 entries – 209 from North American members of the Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute, and 25 from international members. First place awards were presented for 26 North American labels and tags, and for 11 international labels. Seventeen second place awards were presented, all but one to North American converters.
Ten companies won multiple awards. As with last year, most went to McDowell Label & Screen Printing; this year the company won five firsts and three six seconds; Multi-Color Corporation won two first place awards, but its Collotype division won two North American firsts and three international firsts.
The judging committee, chaired by Steve Lee of RotoMetrics, included Mike Buystedt, Flint Group Narrow Web; John Coleman, Nilpeter USA; J. Page Crouch, Clemson University; Jim Flynn, Gallus; Gary Gordon, Mark Andy; Ray Mackura, Avery Dennison Fasson Roll; Robert Smithson, Trinity Graphic USA; and Paul Teachout, Harper Corporation of America.
